Looking for a malish wali near you in Pune?
Most families find one through a neighbour, a relative, or the hospital's cleaning staff. It usually works out. This page is about what changes when it is arranged properly instead.

- What you see first

- Session length
- About two hours a day. She is not a live-in.
"Malish wali" is the right word. We just want to raise the standard behind it
The women who do this work carry knowledge that has been passed down for generations, and in most Indian families it is a grandmother — a nani — who teaches it. None of that is something to modernise away. It is the whole reason the service exists.
What has been missing is everything around it. Hiring informally means you rarely know who is coming, what she has been trained in, whether she is well, or what happens on the morning she cannot make it. Our caregivers are called Nanis, never maids, and they are paid, trained and insured as the skilled professionals they are.
What verification actually means here
Identity and address verified against government ID. Police verification and reference checks completed before she is accepted onto the platform. A full medical screening, so only fit, healthy caregivers hold your newborn.
Then forty hours of standardized training in massage technique, bathing, and hygiene protocol, all reviewed by our pediatric advisor — after which she qualifies as a Nani's Touch Certified Postpartum Caregiver, with ongoing recertification.
You see that profile before her first visit. Not a name and a phone number passed along by someone who knows someone.
What it costs — and why there is no price list here
People search for "malish wali near me price list", and it is a fair thing to want. We do not publish one because the honest answer depends on how many weeks you need, whether it is baby only or mother and baby, and whether you want additions like lactation support.
So a care advisor gives you the exact figure on the first call, before you commit to anything. No hidden fees, no revision once she has started, and no pressure on that call.
The part nobody tells you about in advance
The most common reason an informal arrangement falls apart is not the quality of the massage. It is the day she does not arrive — she is unwell, or a family emergency has come up — and you are three weeks postpartum, holding a baby, with no plan.
A coordinator tracks every family's schedule daily. If your Nani is unavailable, a certified replacement comes within 24 hours and the missed session is added back to your plan.
This is a good fit if
- Families who were about to hire a malish wali informally and want the same tradition with verification behind it
- Anyone new to Pune without a network of relatives to ask for a recommendation
- Mothers who want their own recovery massage included, not treated as an afterthought
- Families who want to know exactly who is entering the house, in advance
We're probably not the right fit if
- Households looking for general domestic help — our caregivers do postpartum care only, and are not employed for housework
- Families who need a live-in arrangement rather than a daily visit
- Anyone who needs someone starting tomorrow in an area we do not yet cover — message us and we will tell you honestly
A day with your Nani
A focused two-hour session, every day. No live-in stranger — your home stays your own.
They were exactly where you are.
My daughter wasn't putting on weight and I was quietly panicking about it. On the first day Vandana tai told me to give it fifteen days of proper maalish. She was right. And now my baby lights up the moment she walks in.
My back pain after delivery was unbearable, and everyone kept telling me it was normal. Nani's Touch said it shouldn't be. Within a month it had almost entirely gone — and she answered every anxious question I had, patiently.
We live in a 2BHK, so a live-in was never an option for us. Two focused hours, and then our home is ours again. That one decision made the whole forty days feel manageable.
“My colicky baby settled by the third session.”
“First night we both slept more than three hours.”
“She explained every stroke. I stopped worrying.”
“His weight finally started climbing.”
