Founder’s Note

“In my current work, I’ve worked closely with many young couples. I started noticing something that bothered me: mums who hired confinement nannies but still felt exhausted. Some even said the nanny caused more stress than help.

And I thought — isn’t the whole point of hiring a nanny to help the mum rest?

Instead, I saw new mothers stretched thin: trying to heal, care for their baby, manage household roles, and prepare to return to work — all at once. Watching this made me think of my own future. If my wife had to go through that one day, I’d feel helpless. I didn’t want that for her, or for any mother. It made me wonder: if this was my wife, how could I watch her go through that?

I started Yanxi Mama to change that.

We put mums at the center — with support that’s comforting, curated, and truly helps you heal. Because when a mother is well cared for, the whole family thrives.”
