Our screening ensures that the nanny candidates you meet align with your specific requirements, as detailed in our Family Intake Form.

Deep Understanding of Asian Cultures and Child-Rearing Practices


Our decade-long experience has taught us the value of integrating cultural understanding into childcare practices. Our nannies are trained to incorporate key Asian values such as:

Family Unity: Our nannies support cultural practices that emphasize family gatherings, teaching children the importance of community support and close family ties.

Respect for Elders: Nannies encourage children to greet elders respectfully and engage with their stories, fostering a sense of appreciation and respect for older generations.

Emphasis on Education: Nannies integrate educational activities, such as storytelling in the child’s native language or assisting with homework, to emphasize the importance of academic achievement and learning.

Addressing Language Barriers and Cultural Differences

We strive to match families with nannies who speak their preferred language, whether it’s English, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Taiwanese, or Malay. This language alignment ensures clear communication and a smooth transition into childcare. We also offer resources and support services to help families and nannies navigate cultural differences, ensuring that the childcare experience is positive and mutually beneficial.

I hired a live-in postpartum doula from My Asian Nanny for a couple weeks for my twin girls. My doula's name was Lulu and she was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, energetic, loving with the girls and extremely experienced. She gave my husband and I so much knowledge about taking care of newborns. She also cooked great meals for us when she had the time. Her English was pretty good and we were able to communicate very well despite the fact that I don't speak Mandarin. I loved Lulu so much, I wish I could've hired her for many more weeks, but she was booked months in advance! I highly recommend her for your newborns. The rate for twins is higher, so she charged $220/day. The cost is more if you want her to cook traditional Chinese meals (to help the mother heal) for you. It's worth it.

When my girls were 3 months old I hired a wonderful nanny from My Asian Nanny last minute named LaiYu. She was absolutely wonderful too. Positive, energetic, kind and so great with babies. I don't think I'd get any sleep without LaiYu. I'm so grateful to her. Her English wasn't great but we communicated mostly through google translate and it was just fine. I highly recommend her! Her positive energy made my life so much better.

I've also met another doula named Gina from this same agency who was a doula for my sister in law's babies. Gina is also amazing. I would've hired her if she weren't allergic to cats. Anyhow, I'm so glad I met all these wonderful women through this agency.

The only downside I could mention is the in-person interview process was a little stressful. My husband and I interviewed 15 or so women in a couple hours using my sister in law as a translator and it was mostly just fine but kind of exhausting. I learned my lesson the next time and just did phone interviews with a couple women instead. In person interviewing is a always a good idea, but just be prepared with questions and the energy to meet that many candidates.

All in all, I had a great experience with My Asian Nanny and Stephanie the owner.
