How to consider whether this "month-old nanny" is OK? You can refer to the following standards:

1. U.S. identity and certificates

Huh? Some people may ask, if your confinement nanny works for you, do you care whether she has American status?

You don’t know that most of the confinement nannies in the United States are Chinese aunts who came across the ocean to work illegally in the United States with tourist visas. They don't know a word of English, can't recognize all 26 letters, and without any training, they dare to come to the United States (of course, it is not ruled out that some people who have confinement nanny employment certificates in China go to the United States to make money).

Usually they will give an intermediary fee of US$200 to American introducers. The confinement nanny will not belong to any confinement center. They are all mobile. They can move to another place. The key is that once the 6-month tourist visa is up, they have to return to the country, and then wait for an opportunity to go to the United States again (the United States is open to Chinese tourism) After the visa is signed for 10 years, the number of confinement nannies working illegally may increase significantly).

In addition, the most unreliable thing is that if this kind of confinement nanny who works illegally is reported, she will be sent back to the country immediately. Then the mother who is in confinement will have no one... and the deposit will definitely not be returned.

So, Xiaomei recommends that you still find a confinement nanny with American status (citizen or green card holder). In addition, it is very good to have certified confinement nanny who have been specially trained in China (such as advanced confinement nanny certificate). After all, this kind of confinement nanny has more professional knowledge.

2. Taking care of the confinement child

The most basic question:

Will it be able to breastfeed?

When should you eat foods containing milk?

When do you start taking a bath and how to arrange it?

How many meals and snacks do you cook a day?

What is the feeding schedule?

Reliable confinement nurses will be able to help mothers start breastfeeding. What should I do if my mother has a blocked breast? If the confinement sister-in-law said to use a hot water bottle for compressing, my mother could say no on the spot and refuse to use it. As for how to drink milk-rich soup? At the beginning, you have to drink light soup, etc. During the interview, mothers can test whether the confinement nanny is OK with these questions. In addition, if the mother chooses the regular confinement center of MEBO Home, she does not have to worry about the above problems. The confinement nuns provided by MEBO have practical experience.

3. Taking care of newborn babies

Usually in the confinement center of MEBO Home, there are specialized nurses to take care of newborn babies 24 hours a day. Umbilical cord care, jaundice in newborns, daily bathing and more. If mothers hire a confinement nanny on their own, they must ask about the basic knowledge of caring for newborns, including how to burp the baby. If you don't know, you can just pass. Normally, newborns sleep in their own crib, usually in the same room as their confinement nanny. If the confinement sister-in-law wants to cosleep, that's not possible.

4. Cost

As for the cost of confinement nanny, it is very expensive not to mention the United States but also domestic ones. Someone on the Internet said: "It's so expensive to hire a confinement nanny. It costs 3,800 US dollars a month, including food, accommodation, and tips. My husband helps take care of the child from time to time, and sometimes gets up to change the child's diaper at night. My husband spends his time on weekends by himself The meat or broth for the week is ready. The confinement nanny only cooks some simple dishes for the whole family every night. She only cooks food for me. Even with such a high salary, there is still a mother who comes to take care of the confinement child. I am happy and have saved a considerable amount of money.”

It seems that the income of confinement nannies in the United States is indeed good, much higher than that of people who collect money in supermarkets!

According to the latest feedback in 2014, the cheapest confinement nanny now is 3,500 knives for 26 days. This price is worth grabbing! Then most of them are 3600-4000. If you find a confinement nanny through an agency, there will be an agency fee of 100-200 RMB.

There are also some aunts in California who run orders and say that it is 3,500 in California and 4,000 in other states. I heard that the most expensive one is 4,500.

These are 26 days (because most nuns-in-law also have one day off a week), which does not include air tickets, tips (the standard is about 15%), baggage check-in on the road and the cost of getting the nanny’s home to the airport!
