Hi, I'm Ella. I'm originally from China and have 3 years of professional experience caring for newborns and infants. I have supported 20+ Chinese and American families and am comfortable with different baby temperaments, routines, feeding, sleep, and soothing needs. My style is gentle, patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I'm experienced in reading baby cues and staying calm when babies cry or have difficulty feeding or sleeping. I also understand the emotional needs of postpartum mothers and communicate with care and patience. I am a certified Doula, IBCLC, and CPR certified, and I have completed routine health screenings. Mandarin is my first language. I can communicate in English for everyday caregiving needs, although I am still improving my fluency. I may not always express myself perfectly in English, but I am confident in my professional skills, experience, and ability to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for babies and families.
Ella cared for our first baby from the day we came home from the hospital, when our baby was just 3 days old, until 2 months old. Although she is young, she has a lot of experience caring for newborns. When our baby was about 25 days old, we started dealing with gas discomfort and sudden bouts of crying. As a first-time parent, I felt overwhelmed and worried. Ella gently helped our baby with bicycle-leg movements and the “airplane hold,” which seemed to bring so much relief. Seeing our baby settle down felt like magic! Although her English is limited, we found ways to communicate and got along wonderfully. We are so grateful for her care and support during those first two months. Thank you, Ella!
