Because every family deserves a softer landing into parenthood.
Bringing home a new baby is one of life's biggest transitions. It's exciting, emotional, and often exhausting. While we spend months preparing for birth, many parents are surprised by just how much support they need afterwards.
Whether you're hoping to embrace traditional Chinese postpartum practices or simply want an extra pair of experienced hands during those early weeks, having the right support can make a huge difference to your recovery and confidence as a new parent.
That's where Parachute comes in.
Making Postpartum Support Simpler
Parachute is a Hong Kong platform that connects expecting parents with experienced, qualified postpartum nannies, taking the stress out of what has traditionally been a complicated and overwhelming process.
Instead of relying on endless WhatsApp referrals, Facebook groups or word-of-mouth recommendations, parents can quickly find trusted confinement and night nannies through one easy-to-use platform.
What we love about Parachute is that it combines technology with genuine human support.
Behind the platform is founder Rosalind, who remains personally invested in helping every family find the right fit.
Which Type of Postpartum Support Is Right For You?
Every family is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you're planning to follow traditional Chinese confinement practices, prioritising overnight sleep, or simply looking for some extra daytime help, Parachute offers several options to suit different needs.
24-Hour Confinement Nanny
Ideal for families following traditional Chinese postpartum care, with support around the clock. This typically includes caring for mum and baby, preparing confinement meals and helping the family settle into life with a newborn.
Night Nanny
Perfect if uninterrupted sleep feels like your biggest priority. Night nannies care for your baby overnight, allowing parents to rest and recover. This is the most popular option for expat families—especially if you already have a daytime helper.
Daytime Confinement Nanny
Extra support during the day with newborn care and feeding—and most importantly, preparing nutritious postpartum meals. You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel when warm meals are ready on time, beautifully plated, and specifically designed to support your recovery.
Born From Personal Experience
Like many great businesses, Parachute started with a problem.
When Rosalind was pregnant with her first baby, she found herself asking friends for recommendations, scrolling through online forums and collecting WhatsApp contacts - only to spend hours contacting nannies individually with very little information to help make a decision.
She remembers thinking:
"There has to be a better way."
That experience inspired her to create Parachute - a platform designed to make finding postpartum support transparent, simple and stress-free for every family.
Why We Love It
At BUMP & CO., we're passionate about connecting parents with services that genuinely make life easier.
Finding the right postpartum support isn't just about practical help - it's about giving parents the opportunity to recover, bond with their baby and feel supported during one of life's biggest transitions.
Parachute's thoughtful approach to transparency, convenience and personalised matching makes it a fantastic option for expectant families planning ahead.
