Orange County Nanny & Postpartum Care FAQs

Can I request a Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking nanny in Orange County?

Yes. Most of our Orange County placements are for families who prefer Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking caregivers. On your Family Registration Form, you can list your preferred languages, cultural practices, and any special requests so we can match you with the right candidates.

Is live-in postpartum care realistic in an Orange County townhouse or condo?

In many cases, yes. As long as there is a safe, dedicated sleeping space for the caregiver, live-in postpartum or confinement care can work well in townhomes, condos, and single-family homes. During your consultation, we’ll review your layout and help you decide between live-in or live-out support.

How early should I book a confinement nanny in Orange County?

We generally recommend contacting us in your second trimester, especially if you prefer a Mandarin-speaking confinement nanny with strong traditional yuezi experience. Early booking gives you more choices and time to schedule interviews before your due date.

Do you also help with night nurse or overnight newborn care in OC?

Yes. Many Orange County families start with overnight newborn support (night nurse) and then transition to a daytime nanny. We can discuss your sleep goals, feeding preferences, and work schedule to recommend the right mix of overnight and daytime help.
