Grace Jeon 이모님 stayed with us for the last 3 weeks and we are so thankful we hired her to help us. She mainly focused on 2 things: well being of the newborn baby and recovery of postpartum mom. Every morning, she prepared the mugwort sitz bath for me to recover from the vaginal delivery. Also, she was able to give massages for breastfeeding initiation so that I can nurse my baby. She was knowledgeable for also helping me with mastitis during the first week. As a first time mom, it was hard for me to grasp how to start taking care of the baby. With the help from 이모님, I was able to focus on the recovery and also learned so much from her hands on experience for many years. Me and my husband counted on her as we transition into the parenthood. We also very much enjoyed her cooking and this also sufficed my nutrition needs for breastfeeding. Thank you 이모님!!
I had a very positive and smooth experience with Mama Castle and our nanny, MiEun. She flew to our home and spent 6 weeks with us. She cooked incredible meals for me and my husband, but most importantly loved and cared for our firstborn baby girl. I learned a lot from her, both related to the baby and household chores. When I had a clogged duct, she helped with massaging, she accompanied me to doctors appointments, our house was always cleaner than we had ever kept it while she was here, and my baby just adored her - she always slept the most comfortably and deeply in Mi Eun’s arms, and when she began smiling, she would always smile seeing her. I ended up extending her stay for another 11 days, and was truly so sad when we had to part ways.
I thought about this for a long time before deciding to post a review. The actual agency itself, Mama Castle, was wonderful. The manager speaks English and was quick to respond to questions about the contract and nanny duties. They will try their best to match you to a nanny who fits your needs, and some of their nannies will even fly to different states. I’ll preface this review by saying if you’ve never lived with an older Korean woman, then having a Korean postpartum nanny will be a bit of a culture shock to you. There are a lot of mannerisms that older Korean ladies have that may be difficult to grasp and it’s even harder to explain what it exactly is. I would strongly recommend that even if there is a language barrier, set firm boundaries from the beginning if you choose to have any Asian nanny. My review is specifically meant for the nanny we had. In terms of baby care, she was wonderful. We felt safe leaving our baby with her and she took excellent care of her. Her cooking was also incredible, and we looked forward to all her meals. Now onto mannerisms. We would ask her not to do things and she would continue to do them anyway. Examples: use a cutting board (shocked to see her cutting directly onto our counters). Don’t use the garbage disposal (to this DAY we are still dealing with leaking under our sink from this). She would put knives back dripping wet into the wooden holder (mold!). Our fridge was pretty gross after she left. She did not like using the sterilizer for bottle and pump parts. Overall there seemed to be a general sense of passive-aggressiveness in the way she handled our kitchen, i.e. because it was not hers, she was not particularly careful. I also wanted to breastfeed and she encouraged a bottle instead (I suspect this was to make her life easier as then she wouldn’t have to come to me for feedings). She made quite a few judgmental comments, and she hinted heavily at how rich her prior clients had been, how much money they made-all basically trying to guilt us into tipping her more. We also really tried to make her stay comfortable, and I think she took advantage of our kindness as well as the fact that we did not strongly enforce boundaries. We set up an entire bed and rocking chair in the nursery for her to use. She had her own bathroom. Every day we bought her treats she said she liked to eat. We tipped quite generously for each week as well because she did take good care of our baby. Yet at the end she was ungrateful and I really didn’t like how guilty she tried to make us feel when she tried to get us to extend our contract past what we agreed to. Overall, I am unsure if I would use a postpartum nanny again. It was nice to have someone help with meals and watching the baby so I could sleep here and there (there is never a full overnight sleep by the way, unless you are going straight to formula). But it was uncomfortable too and knowing what I know now about Korean ladies being nannies, I would hesitate to do this again.
I am two and a half years postpartum and now ready to leave a bad review because she left me so traumatized I didn't want to ever think about her. They sent the worst persom. She was manipulative, gaslighting, materialistic, always talks about $$$, lazy (heated up food I premade and froze or instant food), and I wish I just paid a nanny to come over (cheaper and more helpful since I didn’t want her to do night duty anyway). My baby was in NICU for two weeks and she made it so much more stressful....I could not deal given how much $$$ I was pouring into her. She was rude, ignorant and had no respect for us or our things. I felt she was using us when we were vulnerable (third baby in NICU and had two older siblings, 4 and 6). Please find someone who personally refers you, do your due diligence, your own background check and ask for referrals. I can't even believe I let her stay the entire 6 weeks and I didn't fire her, I hope to God she did not harm baby whenever she was home alone with baby. She kept going into the rooms without the baby monitor!! My experience with this agency and caretaker still haunts me to this day. PLEASE AVOID FOR YOUR OWM SANITY - from fellow mama.
We recently had Grace Eemo come stay with us for a month to help and cannot say enough fantastic things about her. I feel incredibly grateful to have been under her care. Our second son came 2.5 weeks early and the original nanny we were scheduled with was busy. Sunny from Mama Castle was very helpful in getting Grace Eemo setup with us and even though she had prior plans, she graciously agreed to come immediately. A few things I would highlight about Grace eemo that really stood out: (1) The food she makes is not only delicious, but extremely healthy. My husband commented that he felt like he was eating at a michelin-star restaurant! She is so thoughtful and notices things that our family likes and will repeat those dishes. I’ve never had such delicious home cooked meals before! (2) She has extensive experience in her professional and personal life with kids and it shows - she had a magic touch with our baby and as soon as she holds him in her arms he's calm. Even though this is our second time parenting she was still teaching me very helpful tips and tricks. She was also so kind and wonderful to our 2 year old. (3) She always made sure I was recovering well. From preparing sitz baths, to preparing my favorite snacks, to making sure I was always eating my meals hot, she went through great lengths to making sure I recovered well. (4) This is just a bonus but she's a really fun and warm hearted person to be around. We hit it off right off the bat. Newborn life can be tiring but her energetic spirit always lifted the room. She’s full of jokes and is always cheerfully popping in to help, even when it's her rest time. We’re going to miss having Grace Eemo. We've already told her if we have a third we're bringing her back!
