She is confinement nanny to the stars
by Gerald Goh

 

Madam Huang Yi Lian, more affectionately known as Aunty Lian, is Caldecott Hill's confinement nanny of choice.

She has taken care of the newborns of celebrities like Zoe Tay, Vivian Lai, Huang Biren and Mark Lee.

Now, the "celebrity" confinement nanny is taking care of Ben Yeo's newborn second child and wife, Claudia Cheong.

And it was the Queen of Caldecott Hill herself who recommended Madam Huang, 63, to the couple.

Yeo's newborn son, Jarius, who was born on Saturday, has been under the tender loving care of Madam Huang since Monday morning.

This is the first time the actor-host has hired a confinement nanny.

His in-laws helped out when his first child Javier was born, and as they will still be caring for the elder boy, it was "necessary to hire help", especially when the couple, who are both 33, do not employ a maid.

Yeo told The New Paper: "Zoe's three children were taken care of by Aunty Lian, and Zoe said I would love her."

Tay's recommendation was so effective that Yeo didn't bother looking around for other confinement nannies.

Madam Huang has turned out to be exactly what Tay promised, said Yeo.

"Aunty Lian definitely erased my discomfort of having a stranger live with us (for the first time). Seeing her in action is really believing.

"Even though she has been with us for only a couple of days, I'm glad she's here because she's been such a big help."

Yeo is paying Madam Huang $2,600 to stay-in and look after his wife and child for a whole month.
