How much does a nanny cost in South Pasadena, CA?

Nanny rates in South Pasadena depend on whether you need a live-in nanny, live-out nanny, newborn nanny, or night nanny, and on schedule, duties, and experience. During your consultation, My Asian Nanny reviews your needs and shares realistic local rate ranges before you start interviewing candidates.

When should I book a postpartum nanny or night nanny in South Pasadena?

For Chinese postpartum care or confinement nannies, South Pasadena families often reach out in the second trimester, around 14–16 weeks, especially for twins or higher-risk pregnancies. For night nanny or overnight newborn care, contacting My Asian Nanny a few weeks before your due date gives the best chance to secure your preferred nights.

Can I request a Mandarin-speaking or Cantonese-speaking nanny in South Pasadena?

Yes. My Asian Nanny specializes in Asian nanny services, including Mandarin nannies and Cantonese-speaking caregivers. When you complete the Family Registration Form, you can indicate language preferences so we prioritize nannies who can provide daily Chinese language exposure while supporting your South Pasadena school and activity schedule.

Do your nannies help with school drop-off and pick-up in South Pasadena?

Many of our nannies can assist with school runs and activities in South Pasadena, such as drop-off and pick-up at Arroyo Vista Elementary, Marengo Elementary, or South Pasadena Middle School, depending on driving requirements and your vehicle arrangement. We discuss transportation needs during your consultation and only match you with nannies who are comfortable with those responsibilities.

How does the nanny placement process work for South Pasadena families?

South Pasadena families start by filling out the online Family Registration Form. Our team then schedules a brief consultation, clarifies your schedule, duties, and preferences, and searches our network of pre-screened nannies. We share a curated set of profiles for you to interview, help you compare candidates, and support onboarding once you choose your preferred nanny.

Postpartum nanny caring for newborn in South Pasadena CA home — A confinement nanny provides culturally grounded postpartum recovery support for new families in South Pasadena’s historic neighborhoods.

What Is a Confinement Nanny?

A confinement nanny — called a yue sao (月媽) in Chinese — is a trained live-in caregiver who supports mothers through zuo yue zi (坐月子), the structured postpartum recovery period. In South Pasadena, that means around-the-clock newborn care, traditional healing meals sourced from the San Gabriel Valley’s unmatched Asian grocery network, and guided physical recovery within the quiet, tree-lined streets this city is known for.

Why South Pasadena Families Choose Confinement Care

South Pasadena occupies a singular position within the greater Los Angeles landscape. It is a 3.4-square-mile city that has preserved its Craftsman bungalows, Victorian-era homes, and walkable Mission District while the surrounding metro has expanded in every direction. Families move here for the oak-lined streets, the nationally recognized South Pasadena Unified School District, and the deliberate small-town pace that resists the sprawl of adjacent Los Angeles. That same intentionality carries into how South Pasadena parents approach the postpartum period — they plan carefully, seek expert support, and expect a standard of care that matches the thought they put into choosing this city in the first place.

The Asian-American population in South Pasadena has grown steadily over the past decade, now representing roughly 30 percent of the city. Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese families — many of them young professionals who commute to Pasadena for work at Caltech or JPL, or ride the Gold Line into Downtown LA — already understand zuo yue zi as a foundational postpartum practice. What they need is an agency that can place a qualified yue sao in their home without compromise on vetting, language matching, or cultural fluency.

My Asian Nanny operates from Monterey Park, a short drive south on Fair Oaks Avenue from South Pasadena’s Mission District. We have placed live-in confinement nannies with over 1,000 Southern California families since 2011, and our San Gabriel Valley roots give us unmatched proximity to this community. We also serve families in Alhambra, San Marino, and throughout the broader California market. Browse all of our service areas to see where we place nannies nationwide.

Serving South Pasadena & Neighboring Communities

We place confinement nannies throughout South Pasadena, serving families in the Mission District, Monterey Hills, El Centro, Oneonta Park, Marengo Park, Arroyo Verde, and Raymond Hill. Your nanny lives in your home, and our Monterey Park headquarters is just minutes south on Fair Oaks Avenue — closer than any competing agency.

South Pasadena families typically deliver at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena or Keck Hospital of USC. We coordinate placement timing around your expected delivery date and hospital discharge schedule so your nanny arrives when you need her.

Confinement & Postpartum Care Services

When you hire a confinement nanny through My Asian Nanny, your South Pasadena family receives comprehensive care organized around four service pillars.

Full-Time Zuo Yue Zi Recovery Support

Your yue sao moves into your South Pasadena home — whether it is a Craftsman bungalow near Oneonta Park, a renovated Victorian along Meridian Avenue, or a newer townhome in the Monterey Hills area — and stays for the entire postpartum recovery period, typically 30 to 60 days. South Pasadena households often include both parents commuting to separate destinations: one riding the Gold Line from Mission Station to a Downtown LA office while the other drives north to a Pasadena lab or clinic. A full-time live-in nanny provides the continuity that fragmented schedules cannot. She manages every overnight feed, maintains consistent sleep-wake rhythms, and keeps your newborn bathed, swaddled, and settled so both parents can sustain their professional responsibilities. In multigenerational homes along El Centro and Marengo Park where grandparents share the household, she integrates respectfully into existing family routines rather than displacing them.

Nourishing Postpartum Meals & Herbal Soups

South Pasadena’s location within the San Gabriel Valley gives your confinement nanny access to one of the strongest Asian grocery networks in the United States. She shops at 99 Ranch Market in nearby Arcadia, San Gabriel Superstore just minutes south, and Shun Fat Supermarket along Valley Boulevard for the dried medicinal herbs, fresh proteins, and specialty produce that authentic zuo yue zi meals require. The Thursday afternoon South Pasadena Farmers Market on Meridian Avenue supplements her pantry with seasonal organic fruits and vegetables. She prepares three meals and two to three restorative soups daily — slow-simmered pork trotter and peanut broth to promote milk production, ginger-sesame chicken for warmth, red date and longan tonics for blood replenishment, and rice wine-infused dishes rooted in the Taiwanese and Cantonese food traditions common across SGV families. Each recipe shifts as your body heals, adapting to your recovery stage from the first fragile postpartum week through the strengthening final days of the confinement period.

Overnight Newborn Care

South Pasadena’s dual-income households face demanding schedules. A parent who boards the Gold Line at Mission Station for a 7 AM arrival in Downtown LA, or who drives the 110 freeway to a Pasadena research facility, cannot afford to reach the workday on fragmented sleep. Your confinement nanny takes full ownership of nighttime feeds, diaper changes, and soothing from evening through dawn so both parents sleep in unbroken stretches. During daytime hours she tracks feeding volumes, monitors wet and soiled diaper counts, and documents emerging patterns — giving you a clear picture of your newborn’s rhythms rather than a fog of exhaustion. In South Pasadena’s quieter residential blocks along Raymond Hill and Arroyo Verde, where ambient noise is minimal and household sounds carry easily, having a dedicated overnight specialist means the rest of the family sleeps undisturbed while your baby receives expert attention.

Postpartum Wellness & Lactation Guidance

Most South Pasadena families deliver at Huntington Hospital in adjacent Pasadena or at Keck Hospital of USC near Lincoln Heights. Your confinement nanny coordinates her care approach with your discharge instructions and follows up on any provider recommendations from the moment you arrive home. She assists with breastfeeding positioning, latch correction, and supply tracking, adjusting techniques as your milk production stabilizes through the early weeks. Traditional postpartum binding, warm herbal compresses for abdominal soreness, and gentle mobility exercises suited to your delivery type — vaginal or cesarean — form part of her daily routine. South Pasadena’s home birth community, drawn to the city’s quieter residential character, also benefits from this structured recovery support. If she observes warning signs such as persistent fever, unusual bleeding, or shifts in mood, she alerts you immediately so you can contact your OB or midwife without delay.

Beyond Postpartum: Full-Service Family Care in South Pasadena

South Pasadena families invest in their community for the long term, and care needs evolve well beyond the confinement window. My Asian Nanny operates from neighboring Monterey Park, giving South Pasadena households rapid access to bilingual nannies, housekeepers, elderly caregivers, and night nurses through the agency that knows the San Gabriel Valley from the inside.

Bilingual Nanny Placement

South Pasadena Unified School District consistently ranks among the top districts in Los Angeles County, and families here invest heavily in their children’s education from the earliest years. Parents near Arroyo Vista Elementary, Marengo Elementary, and South Pasadena Middle School seek bilingual nannies who reinforce Mandarin or Cantonese language skills alongside structured homework support, enrichment activity scheduling, and age-appropriate play. With roughly 30 percent of South Pasadena’s population identifying as Asian-American — including established Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese families — demand for nannies who can communicate fluently with both children and grandparents is consistent year-round. Our placement team draws from caregivers who live throughout the SGV, many already familiar with SPUSD school calendars and the walkable downtown rhythms that define daily life here.

Professional Housekeeping Services

South Pasadena’s housing stock skews historic. Craftsman bungalows from the early 1900s, Spanish Colonial Revivals, and mid-century ranches line the streets between Fair Oaks Avenue and Fremont Avenue, many with original hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and details that require attentive care. During the postpartum period, housekeeping demands spike as confinement meals generate daily kitchen deep-cleaning needs and laundry volumes double. Our professional housekeeping placements match South Pasadena families with cleaners who understand the demands of older homes and multigenerational households — managing delicate surfaces, maintaining multiple bedrooms, and handling the increased workload that accompanies a newborn. Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking housekeepers communicate directly with every household member, which matters when extended family visits during the confinement period.

In-Home Elderly & Senior Care

South Pasadena’s character attracts families who stay for generations. Aging parents and grandparents who raised their children along the tree-lined streets near Garfield Park and the Arroyo Seco now need assistance with mobility, daily routines, and medical coordination. Huntington Hospital’s senior services in adjacent Pasadena and the Keck Medicine network near USC serve the medical needs of this growing elderly population, but in-home support fills the gap between hospital visits. Our in-home elderly caregivers provide companionship, light housekeeping, medication reminders, meal preparation following dietary restrictions, and transportation to appointments along Fair Oaks Avenue and the Pasadena medical corridor. Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking caregivers preserve the dignity of seniors who are most comfortable communicating in their first language.

Night Nurse & Overnight Newborn Care

Some South Pasadena families already have daytime support from grandparents or a postpartum doula but need professional help through the night when a newborn’s feeding schedule disrupts the household. In the compact floor plans of South Pasadena’s Craftsman homes, where bedrooms share thin walls and hallway sounds carry, having one experienced specialist manage nighttime care lets everyone else rest. Our night nurse placements provide a dedicated overnight caregiver who handles every feeding, diaper change, and soothing session from evening through early morning. Night nurse engagements are available nightly or on a weekly rotation, and many South Pasadena families pair overnight care with a daytime bilingual nanny once the confinement period concludes — building continuous coverage through the transition back to regular routines. Check our night nurse cost calculator for current Southern California estimates.

FAQs — Postpartum Nanny Services in South Pasadena

How much does a postpartum nanny cost in South Pasadena?

Postpartum nanny rates in South Pasadena and the broader San Gabriel Valley range from $280 to $390 per day, depending on experience, language capabilities, and placement length (30, 45, or 60+ days). South Pasadena’s cost of living runs higher than the SGV average, and families here typically book longer engagements — 45 to 60 days is common for first-time parents in the SPUSD area. Try our postpartum nanny cost calculator for a personalized estimate based on your needs.

What is a yue sao and what does she do?

A yue sao (月媽) is a trained postpartum caregiver who specializes in the Chinese confinement tradition known as zuo yue zi. In a South Pasadena home, she provides around-the-clock newborn care — feeding, bathing, soothing — along with traditional recovery meals prepared from ingredients sourced at SGV markets, breastfeeding support, and structured maternal rest during the first 30 to 60 days after delivery.

Can I hire a confinement nanny after a C-section?

Absolutely. Cesarean recovery demands longer, more intensive postpartum support than vaginal delivery. Many South Pasadena families delivering via C-section book 40 to 60 days of live-in confinement care. Your yue sao manages all newborn duties so you can focus entirely on healing, and she prepares targeted recovery meals that support wound healing and milk production. Our nannies are experienced with post-surgical recovery protocols and can coordinate with your OB’s discharge instructions.

How far in advance should I book a confinement nanny?

South Pasadena families should book four to six months before their due date. Our San Gabriel Valley market generates consistently high demand, and experienced nannies with strong Mandarin skills fill up quickly — especially during late fall and early spring when birth rates peak locally. Booking early gives you first access to the strongest candidates and enough time for our team to match personality, cooking style, and household dynamics before your delivery at Huntington Hospital or your chosen birth center.

Do your nannies speak Mandarin and Cantonese?

Yes. South Pasadena’s Asian-American community includes Mandarin-dominant Taiwanese and mainland Chinese families alongside established Cantonese-speaking households and Japanese-American residents. We match each family based on primary household language so your yue sao communicates clearly with the new mother, grandparents, and any extended family present during the confinement period. Many of our nannies are trilingual with conversational English, which helps during pediatrician visits at practices along Fair Oaks Avenue and Huntington Drive.

What does the replacement guarantee for your full booking duration cover?

If your South Pasadena nanny’s approach does not align with your family’s expectations during your booking, My Asian Nanny rematches you with a replacement caregiver at no additional referral fee. The guarantee covers personality mismatches, skill concerns, dietary preparation issues, and scheduling conflicts. Whether your home is in the Mission District, near Oneonta Park, or along Monterey Hills, the same protection applies to every California placement we coordinate.

What other family services do you offer in South Pasadena?

Beyond postpartum nanny placement, we provide bilingual Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking nannies for ongoing daily childcare, professional housekeeping for South Pasadena’s older Craftsman and Colonial homes, in-home elderly caregivers for the multigenerational households common in this community, and night nurses for overnight newborn support. Our Monterey Park office is minutes south on Fair Oaks — closer to South Pasadena than any competing provider.

Can I hire a confinement nanny if both parents commute?

Absolutely. Many South Pasadena parents ride the Gold Line from Mission Station to Downtown LA or drive the 110 to Pasadena for work at institutions like Caltech, JPL, or the Huntington Medical campus. Your confinement nanny lives in your home full-time, providing continuous newborn care and postpartum support whether you are home or away. This arrangement is designed for dual-income households where both parents return to demanding professional schedules shortly after delivery.

What Families Say

Join 1,000+ families who’ve trusted us with their postpartum care.

					We honestly don't know how we would've survived the first few weeks with our twins without My Asian Nanny.



As first-time parents of twins, we were completely exhausted and running on no sleep. Managing one newborn is hard enough -- two at the same time was overwhelming. We started looking for a postpartum nanny in Los Angeles and found them through Yelp.



They matched us with May, our night nurse / newborn care nanny, who had experience with twins, and she was absolutely amazing. Within just a few nights, both babies were already settling into a better routine and we were finally able to get some real rest.



May helped with everything -- feeding, soothing, and managing both babies at the same time. She also gave us a lot of helpful tips on how to handle twins more efficiently, especially during night feeds and getting them on a schedule.



Honestly, if you're searching for overnight newborn help, especially with twins, I'd definitely recommend My Asian Nanny. Having someone like May made all the difference. Total lifesaver for our family.

					Working with Stephanie and Diane was easy and straightforward. We reached out to them late in the process but they were able to quickly identify several potential nannies for us to interview.



Ms. Guo is an incredible postpartum nanny. She is very warm and caring and her extensive experience was evident in the confidence, gentleness, and consistency with which she cared for our baby.



In addition, Ms. Guo prepared very delicious meals every day. She put a lot of effort into preparing a variety of healthy food and also went above and beyond by preparing many frozen meals that we could eat after she had left.



Her presence allowed us to rest and recover. She is easy to get along with and very communicative and open to feedback. We are very grateful for her support and would highly recommend Ms. Guo to any family seeking dedicated and professional postpartum care.

					My Asian Nanny helped match us with a truly wonderful nanny, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Akim (Suqin Yin) was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and incredibly supportive—especially after a difficult delivery when I needed time to rest and heal. She provided exceptional newborn care, helping with feeding (including supporting breastfeeding and bottle routines), burping, diapering, bathing, soothing, and establishing healthy sleep habits. She was attentive to every detail, carefully monitoring our baby’s needs and offering thoughtful guidance.

Beyond baby care, Akim also cooked delicious, nourishing meals for our family and kept everything organized and calm during those early weeks. Our two-year-old daughter adored her and still asks about her.

We truly can’t say enough good things about our experience with My Asian Nanny and Akim. Highly recommend!!

					We arranged part-time mandarin-speaking help for my grandmother in San Gabriel Valley, and Fanny has been an incredible support for our family. She is patient, dependable, and very attentive to my grandmother’s daily needs, which gave us a lot of peace of mind.



Fanny helps with home-cooked meals, light tidying and organization, and most importantly, taking my grandmother to doctor’s appointments and making sure everything runs smoothly. She communicates clearly in mandarin which has made my grandmother feel comfortable and respected. It’s not easy to find someone who is both practical and genuinely caring, and Fanny has been exactly that. We’re very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to families looking for reliable part-time elder care.  We highly recommend My Asian Nanny!

					I am pleased to provide a review for Akim (Suqin Yin), who worked with our family as a live-in nanny for one month to help care for our newborn.



From the very beginning, Suqin demonstrated exceptional kindness, positivity, and trustworthiness. As a first-time mother, I felt nervous and overwhelmed with the responsibilities of caring for a newborn. Suqin was incredibly patient and supportive—she answered all of my questions with care and clarity, and took the time to teach me how to confidently handle day-to-day baby care.



Beyond her expertise with infants, Suqin was a tremendous source of comfort during my postpartum recovery. She reassured me when I felt uncertain, reminded me that my experiences and emotions were normal, and provided steady encouragement during a vulnerable time.



Suqin is honest, dependable, and genuinely compassionate. She brought warmth and joy into our home, and her presence made an enormous difference for our family. I highly recommend Suqin to anyone seeking a nanny or extra support with newborn care. Any family would be fortunate to have her.

					We used My Asian Nanny Inc to find a nanny for our second newborn (we're in NJ). The experience was super quick and easy, we were immediately connected with two nannies to interview over facetime and both were great. Our baby nurse came to live with us the day I left the hospital and she was amazing. She helped with feedings/night routine/baths/cooking and basically everything baby related. She was also great with our toddler. I would absolutely use this service again.

					I’m about halfway through my confinement period and am absolutely loving the care from my nanny Diana. She is a fabulous cook, is extremely attentive to my/baby’s needs, and works so hard both day and night! I was a bit unsure about going this route (I’m not Asian) but had heard good things from friends. I would absolutely go this route again - recovery has been a breeze and my nights are easy given she’s taking the bulk of the work. I would also recommend the company that sourced her - they heard me out on what was important, and lined up 4 fabulous candidates for my to interview. (I think any of them would have been great!) Recommending this to all my friends!

					As first time parents, my wife and I have enough stress and anxiety regarding our first child (LOL) -- so it really was a blessing to have worked with My Asian Nanny with our nanny search. They are professional, always communicated on time, English AND Chinese proficient, and very organized. They communicated with my wife using an imessage text chat group - which worked really well for us. They were able to find multiple good candidates within a couple days and we were all wrapped up with our nanny search within 1 week. We also were looking for an Asian nanny that could speak English and that was open to Western views -- and the agency found multiple candidates to fit this criteria.

					We’ve had two wonderful experiences with My Asian Nanny over the years. When our child was just a few months old, we were matched with a live-in nanny who provided exceptional care and support during such an important time in our lives. Most recently, we needed a temporary nanny to accompany us on a short family trip to Mexico, and Queeni was fantastic—professional, kind, and incredibly helpful with our now 6-year-old. Both times, the team at My Asian Nanny made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend their services!

What truly stood out was how she supported my wife with daily belly wraps, herbal remedies, and thoughtfully prepared healing meals. Lynda’s care allowed us to rest and focus on recovery and bonding as a family.

Her experience and kindness made a huge difference during this special time. We couldn’t have asked for better support!

From the very first night, she made sure our newborn was well taken care of so that we could actually get some rest. Her calm demeanor and professional approach gave us immediate peace of mind.

My Asian Nanny made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Their team responded to our inquiry almost immediately and quickly matched us with several candidates who met all our criteria. The interview process was smooth, and we appreciated the thoughtful feedback provided after each session, which helped us make the right decision.

Even after we hired Queeni, the agency stayed in touch and answered all of our follow-up questions without delay. Their ongoing support was just as impressive as their initial service. We felt truly supported throughout the entire process, and we’re so glad we chose My Asian Nanny.

Highly recommend both Queeni and this agency to anyone looking for dependable, professional newborn care!

					A friend referred me to this agency although she had never actually used it so I was a bit skeptical. We had been looking for a helper for my aging parents for quite a while and tried a few helpers through care.com. They were fine for short term but when they finally needed someone for live-in the cost was not feasible. I completed the application online for MAN and they do charge a $50 fee to start. After a couple days I didn't hear back so I called them with our needs. Within a couple days they lined up 7 possible candidates which we FaceTimed with. We narrowed down to 3 and interviewed again and finally selected one. They charge a hefty fee but overall the daily rate is much more reasonable than other agencies. Stephanie and Diane were easy to work with and communicated well. The Mandarin speaking live-in helper has been great and makes delicious food. We are very happy and would recommend MAN to anyone looking for an asian helper.

					We're so grateful to have found My Asian Nanny for our Chinese confinement needs. They provided five highly qualified confinement nanny candidates, and after interviewing each one, we chose Queenie—a decision we're so glad we made.



Queenie was everything we hoped for in a Chinese confinement nanny. She cared for our newborn with incredible attention and love, ensuring he was safe, clean, and comforted at all times. She also prepared nutritious, traditional Chinese confinement meals that supported my postpartum healing, and she even offered lactation support, helping prevent milk clots and easing the breastfeeding process.



Her presence made our entire postpartum confinement period peaceful and restorative. My Asian Nanny made the entire process smooth, professional, and stress-free. If you're looking for a trusted source for experienced Chinese confinement care, I can't recommend them enough.

					I am a first time mom and finding a Yue Sao (postpartum nanny) through My Asian Nanny was hands down the best investment we made. Our Shanghainese nanny, Jenny Liu was incredible. Even before she arrived, I sent her a video of my baby crying and she immediately and correctly assessed that our baby had jaundice. Based on her advice, we booked an emergency pediatrician appointment and were admitted to the NICU for phototherapy. She supported us through the entire process. I had several health complications after my unplanned C-section birth. Jenny took care of me and made sure that I was able to fulfill my breastfeeding goals despite all my health issues.  She cooked nutritious meals and made sure that I got plenty of rest so that my body was strong enough to breastfeed. Jenny is extremely experienced, empathetic, friendly, and fun to be around. I trusted her because of her nursing experience in Taiwan and because of her first hand experience caring for many other babies.  She taught us everything we know about how to care for a newborn -- invaluable advice and tricks that no amount of book reading or tiktoks can provide.  Even after she left, she always answers my questions via calls and messages. She even checks in on my little one and video calls with him. He recognizes her voice instantly and stops crying whenever he hears her voice.

					Stephanie at My Asian Nanny was immensely helpful in quickly connecting us with our stellar postpartum nanny! I had initially hired a postpartum nanny through a personal referral but that nanny got injured and told us she would no longer be able to work with us just a few short months before I was due to give birth. I was a bit frantic to find a replacement and Stephanie and her team were so helpful and on top of it as soon as I reached out. We loved our experience with our nanny, Diana, so much. She ended up being the perfect fit for our family! Thank you, My Asian Nanny team!

					We had the immense privilege of having Nanny Dai as part of our family for the past seven years. From the very beginning, she was more than just a housekeeper; she managed our household with exceptional care and efficiency, ensuring everything was spotless and organized while providing a warm and nurturing environment for our child.  Her patience and creativity were especially evident in how she catered to our picky eater, making mealtimes a joy rather than a struggle.  Beyond her exceptional work, Nanny Dai truly became a cherished member of our family. Her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support will be greatly missed as she returns to China. We are incredibly grateful for the years we shared with her and will forever cherish the memories we've had together!

					Highly recommend using My Asian Nanny as your nanny referral agency! Let me tell you why: Stephanie and her staff are friendly, professional, and will work really hard to find a nanny who will meet a variety of needs. Admittedly, the first nanny we hired did not work out (through absolutely no fault of the service) and Stephanie went above and beyond to quickly find someone who would better match with our family, because she truly cares that the families she helps are happy. I felt like I was asking a friend! That led us to Maria and SHE IS AMAZING! She incredibly knowledgeable, she is so kind, helpful, patient (a must with newborns!), and loving toward our baby and our whole family. She is even a certified massage therapist and can help with post partum pain/ soreness. Maria is also a lactation expert! We chose to use formula for our baby and Maria was so respectful and supportive of our choice. Everything she has done for our family has been helpful. We have an older child, but I basically forgot everything I learned and Maria helped reassure us (well, me) about normal newborn behavior and growth. She has the unique experience of having worked with many newborns and it really helped me, as a nervous mom! Maria cares so much about the well-being of our baby, me, and the rest of our family and I couldn't have asked for anything more. She even helps us get some sleep! Maria is also open to whatever choices families make for their baby and will always respectfully honor their requests. We have been so happy, we extended her contract with us, though I wish she could stay forever! Maria has been an invaluable part of our family during this transition to a family of 4. Something to note: we are an American family and do not have any cultural ties to the "Asian" part of this unique nanny service and Maria is THE BEST and bridging this gap. Not only is her English excellent, but she also has shared so much of her experiences as an expat in the US! Maria would be fantastic working with any family! I feel very lucky to have Maria be with us and will always be grateful to Stephanie and My Asian Nanny for facilitating bringing such a wonderful person into our lives!

					Looking back on two wonderful years with Linda, our incredible Indonesian nanny, fills our hearts with gratitude. We owe a huge thank you to Stephanie and Diane for connecting us with Linda in a way that perfectly suited our family's requirements.  Linda's commitment and care surpass all expectations. From managing pickups to preparing nutritious snacks, she creates a warm and loving atmosphere for our children every day after school.  In short, our time with My Asian Nanny, particularly with Linda, has been truly exceptional. We're immensely grateful to Stephanie and Diane for their thoughtful assistance in finding the ideal fit for our family.

She seamlessly became a cherished part of our family, bringing joy and support into our home. Lina's dedication and warmth have made her a true godsend, and we couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact she's had on our lives.

					From postpartum nanny to a live in nanny I had used my Asian nanny for couple times.  Stephanie and Diane both been very helpful and answer all the questions I had and when I need them. And I know hiring nanny is a very personal feeling if you like the nanny or not, but they still very patient with me even text them during weekend. I definitely recommend them to my friends.

					Having my first newborn and trying to take care of him on our own as first time parents nearly broke me. I finally reached out to Stephanie and she helped right away and fixed my situation within a week by connecting us to an experienced caring nanny that suited our schedule, budget and family. I didn't care to meet a lot of people and asked her just to introduce us to two candidates. They were both terrific in their own way and taught us a lot in what we were truly looking for. Stephanie is the kind of person that, when you're thrown in the deep end and need someone to help navigate you out, she will shine and help with a solution for you.
