Confinement Helper Needed

There is a high demand for confinement helper and nanny in the chinese community in Houston area. Boon Hong started looking for a confinement helper since a few months ago. We thought that we found one good candidate. She was recommended by a number of our friends that used her service before. Unfortunately, there's a baby boom going on. There's another Malaysian couple from Penang that's also interested in this candidate. This friend's due date is only two to three weeks before Boon Hong's due date. Some compromise/agreement was reached so that both parties can have the service of this sought after confinement helper. Anyway, as a back up, we decided to run an advertisement (highlighted in green in attached photo) in local chinese newspaper. There are many people (at least ten) that responded to our advertisement. Right now we shortlisted to four candidates. We went to visit several "auntie" at their home just to see how it is. Anyway, some at stay at home housewife looking for a short term part time job, some are actually running professional confinement center from their home. For about $2,500 to $3,500, they will let you go stay at their house for one month after the baby is deliver. Then they will take care of you, the baby and also cook confinement food for seven days a week for one month. One person that responded is a professional confinement auntie from Los Angeles, she is asking for return air ticket to LA on top of the confinement pay. Anyway, we will probably stick to a local candidate who will stay at our house for 5-6 days each week to help out. But still, this will be a back up and the preference is still to have the candidate that our friend used before.
