Hi,

I hired Aunty Susan for just 2 weeks because very unfortunately she fell down in the kitchen and got her hand injured and force to stop working.

Overall, she is quite good – clean and neat. Indeed, I though I had hired a chef. She cooks well and she loves cooking Those cooking ingredients that she used really good to get rid of wind and slimming. We loves her cooking. She cooked for my hubby and 3 yrs old daughter too. Can you imagine we didn’t have repeat dishes (beside vege) for 2 weeks.

Aunty Susan takes good care of me and she support breastfeeding. However, there are 2 things we not quite like about her:
1st – we feel that she doesn’t really like taking care of bb, though she did a fantastic job of taking care of me. The 1st thing she stated when she came was since I breastfeed, bb will sleep with mummy and not her. Isn’t cl job is help us taking care bb so that we can rest and recover faster?
I could still remember for continuous nites after me and bb discharged, bb basically was crying hard at night (9pm – midnight). Reason – bowel movement. We were busy changing and cleaning the bb. The next day, she said she heard bb crying very loud last night and ask why. We really unhappy because why didn’t she come over to ask whether we need help or see why bb kept crying and offer her hand if she heard it in next door?
2nd – she likes to twist and turn during the conversation and indirectly telling you something – we hate that. Why can’t she talk straight to the point? A lot of times I need to guess what was she trying to tell me or ask for.

However, overall Aunty Susan is nice person, easy going, clean and neat. I will still recommend to you if you doesn’t really need a cl fully taking care of bb as she cooks well and did a really good job of taking care the mummy. She is charging RM3,600, only want to work in m’sia. Ang Pow amount is up to you and she is from Ipoh.

I considered myself very lucky. Right after Aunty Susan left, I browsed through the internet and I got myself another confinement lady – Sim Yee (Seremban). She was free at that time because the bb whom she suppose to work with was in ICU and have to cancel her job.

Sim Yee (019-252 1118) is total opposite of Aunty Susan, haha… She is like the bb grandma. The 1st thing she asked for was bb had to sleep with her at night so that I can rest well. If not why do I need to hire her.

Sim Yee did good job in taking care of the bb. She had no complaints about bb even bb woke up several times for milk or poo. She will only tell you unless you ask her.

However, Sim Yee’s cooking is so so only. She cooks confinement dishes in very traditional way and not much variety. Her “boh bun” all with wine because according to her, wine is best helping the mummy for blood circulation.

Wine in bfast meal, then followed by chicken essence with dome – I was drunk in the morning.
Lunch & dinner were just normal confinement food with wine and ginger.
“Boh Bun” woohoo… with strong wine again. luckily I like drinking, if not really gone case. She will test your wine lever by increasing the amount of wine day by day.

Overall, I consider myself very lucky because both cl are good in their way.
I still keep in touch with both Aunty Susan and Sim Yee, they both are very friendly and nice lady.

If you want good chef and you prefer to take care the bb by yourself most of the time – Aunty Susan – 012-491 8560
If you want good granny taking good care of your bb, and you are not picky about food – Sim Yee – 019-252 1118
