Mei Hua

She was my first CL, very nice lady and helpful. My husband and I took care of our baby ourselves, which means the baby sleeps with us throughout the night and our CL only comes up to change the diaper when needed. MH accepts your views, doesn't question too much, obliging, not calculative at all, cleans the kitchen after use, clean my room and looks after the baby well. Cooking is mediocre and what was great was that she cooks for the family (incl. our maid) . She even stored chopped garlic/onions and sliced pork into small containers (e.g. a dozen serving) for us before she left. She couldn't do for us this time because someone has already booked her in Singapore.

The day she arrived was the day I went for my for my infant's jab.... baby was very hard to handle... she had a hard time coaxing my infant to sleep, she was then introduced to my parents in law, my elder son, maid and my hubby... next, she would ensure I get some rest before she prepare my bath water, longan tea and getting ready to cook dinner. I showed her around my house and taught her how to use the vacuum cleaner, washing machine, stove and other electrical appliances and show her the kitchen and also the laundry area. After my bath, she asked me if i wanted to pump my breast milk and went ahead to prepare it.... subsequently after pumping i went to rest and took a nap too. I woke up during dinner time and was amazed that she cooked for the whole family and while we're having dinner, she took care of my bb and also give me advise on how to breast feed my bb. During the ngt, my hubby and I had complete rest and Mei Hua took care of everything. As the days goes by, my bb is able to latch well (thanks for her help) and her confinement food was really superb. B'cos i don't take pig trotters and rice wine chix, she encourage me to try and I ate heartily! On the third week, she also taught my maid baby handling skills and show patience towards my elder boy whenever he tries to jump near my infant. She also gets along well with my both my parents in law. During the last week, I was worried that my bb will get 'hooked' to latching on during feeding, I ask Mei Hua to help me... She show great patience and care during the process and I'm really please with her performance and help rendered greatly. As even now our family members still missed her greatly. Finally, when we realise it was already her last day with us, I gave her a 'big' ang pow and tell her that she 'earned' it herself. Till now, my parents in law still mentioned about her during our conversation.
