Asian Nanny Agency for Chinese Confinement & Postpartum Care
You rest. She takes the 3 a.m. feeds.
My Asian Nanny specializes in Chinese postpartum confinement nanny placements, helping families find experienced live-in support for newborn care and postpartum recovery. We personally match you with a vetted nanny who prepares traditional Chinese postpartum meals, cares for your baby, and supports your family’s zuò yuè zi traditions during a 26–90-day stay. Serving families since 2011, we also offer nanny, housekeeper, and elderly caregiver placements, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese and Indonesian-speaking candidates.

Feeds, changes, baths, umbilical cord care and the overnight wake-ups.
Your recovery
Feeding support and the rest your body needs to heal.
Confinement meals
Three full meals and two to three soups and teas a day, cooked from scratch.
Baby-related chores
Baby laundry, bottles, pump parts and the kitchen after cooking.
