From personal experience, you will know whether you should hire a confinement nanny or not after reading it.

1. Should I find a confinement nanny?

To find a confinement nanny or not? This is a question that makes many expectant mothers hesitate. The pros and cons of looking for a confinement nanny or not are roughly as follows:

Reasons for looking for a confinement nanny: No one at home can take care of her; a confinement nanny is experienced and can take good care of the mother and baby, so that she and her family can worry less.

Reason for not looking for a confinement nanny: The family has enough people to take care of it;; it is better to waste the money on other needs of the baby; finding an incompetent one will delay adults and children, and waste money by.

After reading a lot of posts, here’s what I came up with: Most mothers who find confinement nannies think it is still necessary, and a few regret it. As for the situation of friends around me, some parents-in-law and mothers came to take care of those who felt that they were too noisy and did not have a good confinement period. There were also some who hired a confinement nanny but failed to take good care of Luosuo.

The situation in our family is that my parents-in-law cannot come to take care of them, but my parents can come and are very happy to do so. However, we are worried that the old man is too old and mentally and physically unable to take care of him. What if he gets tired again? Secondly, my mother is a relatively thoughtful person, and conflicts will inevitably arise regarding confinement and childcare. I will also have to do ideological education, persuasion, and communication work for my parents, which will be too tiring and tiring. So my husband and I decided very early on to hire a confinement nanny. Looking back, the effect was very good, the confinement period was very quiet and comfortable, and I felt at ease and worry-free. How long does a confinement nanny take in February?

A confinement nanny takes care of the baby and mother during confinement. According to industry regulations, it is actually 26 days. However, postpartum resumption of normal delivery is calculated based on 6 weeks, and the same is true for postpartum examination after 42 days.

So I asked for two months, which is 52 days. During the first 6 weeks of confinement, I basically didn’t worry about anything. I didn’t do anything except breastfeeding. In the next few days, I followed the confinement nanny to learn the skills of taking care of the baby, such as bathing and touching, and made a good handover. 3 Where to find confinement nanny

1. Confinement nanny

There are some confinement nanny with good reputation, but the prices of high-end confinement nanny are exaggerated, ranging from more than 6,000 to 7,000. Those with lower levels are estimated to have much lower actual abilities. Moreover, there are some cases of temporary replacement of unscrupulous women. Some of them are due to the fact that the expected date of delivery has been advanced, and the confinement nanny who was interviewed before is still at home. Some of them say that the confinement nanny has something to do at home, etc. However, the ones who are temporarily reassigned are basically less than satisfied.

2. Recommendation from acquaintances

Personally I think this is the most suitable and has the least risk. Although some mothers say that what others use may not be suitable for them, but through the introduction of acquaintances, this is the most objective and true evaluation.

I asked around acquaintances, most of them became mothers one or two years ago, and there were not many people who hired confinement nannies. Two of them used confinement nannies, but they felt average, so I gave up on this kind. way.

3. Housekeeping website recommendation

For example, Ganji, 58, Haobangjia, Family Work Network and other institutions that specifically recommend confinement nanny. In addition to the introduction of the agency, home services such as Family Work Network and Haobangjia will provide personalized and detailed resumes, photos, experiences, self-descriptions, etc. to comprehensively display the respective specialties of confinement nanny. In addition, most of these employees are regular domestic workers who will sign formal contracts and labor contracts for confinement nanny. Don’t underestimate this contract. In case of emergencies, we will protect you. The price of a confinement nanny

When I was choosing a confinement nanny, I checked the noodle market and my mother’s recommendations. I heard that the average monthly salary of a good confinement nanny is 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, exaggeratedly even close to 10,000 yuan. Looking at the family job website, there is an area where the average monthly salary of a confinement aunt is more than 3,000 yuan. The psychological price I have set is roughly as follows. Most of the confinement sisters who are selected for interviews are based on this standard. I have also met two, and I want to see how it is. If it is really good, she will be the one to bite the bullet.

But after the interview, I felt that the expensive one was not necessarily the best or the most suitable. There were a few that I was relatively satisfied with, but the one I finally picked was not. So I just want the right one, not the most expensive one. 5 How far in advance should you look for a confinement nanny

It is said that you should look for a confinement nanny as early as possible. Good confinement nanny can be introduced easily, and some jobs are almost full within half a year.

My due date is in March. I started looking for them in November last year. I went to some confinement nanny recommended on the Internet. After that, I found that the two or three I liked were not available, so I felt it was a bit late. After I decided not to use the confinement nanny in the first round, I became even more anxious. In December, I recommended three more through the Family Job Network. I interviewed in January this year. Overall, I felt that the interviewees this time were better than those in the first round. Be good. So for me, it’s better to find a confinement nanny sooner rather than later.

6 How to interview a confinement nanny

1. Select interview candidates

Use the search function on the Home Work Network to search for the resumes of recommended confinement nannies, look at self-descriptions, photos, etc., and select preliminary candidates. of. Then follow the steps above to discuss the price, age and other issues you are concerned about with your confinement nanny.

2. Confinement nanny

Make a list, write down the initially selected confinement nanny, and then fill in the agreed time and place at the back, so as to avoid multiple appointments at the same time. It's easy to get confused. The confinement nanny is usually at home, so it is best to send a message, tell your expected date of delivery, ask if you are free, and can you meet in person, and then confirm the time and place of the meeting. In the process of talking a few times, you can also see some of the qualities of the confinement nanny. Some confinement nuns don’t know how to send messages. Although this is not a prerequisite, I always feel that they are older or more closed-minded. Some will be very polite and give thoughtful answers.

3. Interview location and time

If the confinement nanny is at home, if you are in a hurry, you can only go to the place where the confinement nanny works; if the confinement nanny is free or not in a hurry, you can wait until the confinement nanny. Once your sister-in-law has moved to your home, you can have your confinement sister-in-law come to your home or home. The time has to be discussed with the confinement nanny. During the confinement period, the baby sleeps more, and the confinement nanny still has sporadic time.

The five people I interviewed for the first round were selected in one day on the weekend. I decided on the driving route and told the confinement nanny the approximate time of arrival. It was non-stop from 90 am to 5 or 6 pm. It was the dead of winter, so I parked the car in the community where my confinement sister-in-law lived and had an interview in the car. Two of the second-round interviews came during lunch time, and the mother of one of the householders was particularly enthusiastic and went directly to their home.

4. Interview questions

There are special posts in the forum about interview questions, which are basically about taking care of the baby and the mother, so I won’t go into details. Another thing to note is that you should focus on asking questions that you are concerned about. I have always planned to exclusively breastfeed, so I asked some focused questions in this regard. You can sort out the questions you want to ask, print them out and look at them during the interview (this is not necessary for moms who have a good memory). After interviewing a few people, they will basically remember them. The interview lasts approximately thirty minutes to an hour. 7 How to choose a suitable confinement nanny

It’s time to choose after the interview. Some mothers-to-be fall in love with one after seeing one, which of course saves trouble. I think that comparison is the only way to identify, so I met five people at once, and I didn’t say that I was particularly satisfied with them the first time I met them. Some of them were just fine, and I didn’t want to see them again. It was really a physical and mental job.

One of the nuns-in-law I have met in the past few months feels that she lacks experience and answers questions incorrectly. She often answers with "Don't worry, this is no problem, we nuns-in-law can do it." And I am not very familiar with baby product brands. Judging from the answers to the questions, the other people are experienced, so it can be seen that the recommendations from the Family Work Network are basically reliable.

Among the remaining people, one of them felt that he spoke with a very loud voice and was a bit chatty when answering questions. He could go very far and was quite noisy. There is another person who has recently been a nanny for two households in a row for more than three years in total. I am worried that I will become rusty as a confinement nanny. One person was older, and the price was the most expensive among them, costing 6,000.

After the elimination method, only one person was left, and she was generally satisfied. I asked her about the proportion of breast milk among her clients, and she was told that the proportion was not high, and most of them had to supplement with milk powder. This made me a little dissatisfied. I explained my point of view and asked for full breast milk. She said that she fully supported it and would definitely listen to the mother's opinion when dealing with the problem. Listening to her answer, I felt that there shouldn't be a big problem in this aspect, but after careful consideration, I made up my mind to say no to the confinement sisters who were interviewing me.

The second round of searching continued. The three people interviewed were all good, and the overall feeling was better than the first round. Except for one person who felt a bit strong in terms of personality, I couldn't make up my mind when choosing among the remaining two. Both of them were very experienced and the prices were about the same. One is from Sichuan. When I first selected my resume, I also focused on Sichuan confinement sisters. They all seemed to have a good reputation. From the appearance and conversation, this confinement nanny looks like she is down-to-earth, hard-working and down-to-earth. The other one is that she has high overall quality, talks well and is very organized, giving people a very comfortable feeling. In the end, I chose the latter because I felt comfortable communicating and it was important to stay comfortable during confinement.

After two months of getting along with each other after giving birth, I feel that my original choice was the right one. In addition to being experienced, the confinement nanny was very good at taking care of me and the baby. She also had high emotional intelligence. We got along very well and the confinement period was very comfortable.

8 Summarize the necessary conditions for a good confinement nanny

After using the confinement nanny for two months, I have a general understanding of what conditions a good confinement nanny has. Although the concept was still relatively vague when I first made the selection, I was lucky enough to choose a good confinement nanny. There was some luck in it. But looking back and thinking about the interview with the confinement nanny, I feel that these conditions can still be met during the interview. Initial understanding.

1. Experience

This is the first condition for a good confinement nanny. Only an experienced confinement nanny can deal with various problems that may arise during confinement. Take a look at the self-introduction on your resume to describe your regular work abilities.

During the interview, the main thing is to see whether the confinement sister-in-law can get to the point in answering the questions. The experienced ones can also answer more comprehensively than the standard answers based on the actual situation, and they are generally organized and can be understood as soon as they are heard. Not a memorized answer. In addition, ask some brands of baby products. A confinement nanny with rich experience in serving many customers, especially one who has worked as a nanny, can name at least one or two and point out the differences. For example, for diapers, Hao Yuesao can tell you the advantages and disadvantages of several common brands and recommend which ones.

2. Responsibility

Responsibility is actually the embodiment of professionalism. Being able to take on all the true responsibilities of a one-month-old nanny, the work must be worthy of the reward. Can take good care of mother and baby wholeheartedly, be patient with mother, and have love for baby. Reflected in the specific work, it is to take good care of the baby and mother's daily diet, eating, drinking and all trivial matters during the past two months. In addition, we must also take care of the mother's emotions and create a good atmosphere.

This can only be roughly felt during the interview. From the descriptions of their jobs when the confinement sisters answer questions, you can feel whether the confinement sisters like this job and whether they are willing to devote themselves to it. to this job.

3. Personality

Character is also very important. My husband goes to work during the day and spends most of his time alone with his confinement nanny. Face to face life every day, if he has a bad temper and personality , I feel very awkward. Even if there are elderly people helping out at home, and there are many people in the family, it is even more important to manage the relationship well.

I think it doesn’t matter whether the personality is good or bad. What’s more important is whether it suits you. The Northeast confinement nanny I interviewed was very enthusiastic, spoke loudly, and was very interested in chatting. She was not used to a quiet person like me. One confinement nanny signed online orders for home work several times, and everyone responded very well. , but my first impression after seeing him was that he had a strong personality and was not very suitable.

Personality can be judged by communicating in dozens of minutes to an hour during the interview. Sometimes I go with my family to meet my confinement nanny, but I still have to make the decision on my own. In addition, what others use well may not necessarily be suitable, because the mother who gets along with the confinement nanny the most is the mother herself, and her own feelings are the most important.

I have studied confinement care tutorials myself, and I have my own opinions and opinions on some practices during confinement, so I don’t like those who are very strong and think that they are right in everything; but I am also thin-skinned, I don't like giving orders to others at will. At first glance, the confinement nanny I chose does not look like other confinement nanny. She is very neatly dressed, speaks in a very organized manner, and feels very comfortable when communicating. Unlike some confinement nanny who respects you very much, speaks cautiously, and Unlike some confinement nuns who are more forceful, they feel that they can do anything with their experience, and their overall quality is relatively high. I like this feeling of equality. Any disagreements can be easily communicated.

My thoughts on the place of birth of confinement sisters

Listed here, I actually want to show that place of origin is really not important. I started applying for confinement nanny, focusing on those from Sichuan, Shanxi and my hometown. The ones from Sichuan and Shanxi seem to have good online reputations; the ones from my hometown think the food tastes good. After the interview, I feel that this is not a necessary condition. Thinking about it rationally, in fact, there are all kinds of people everywhere, the key is to look at the individual; in addition, in terms of taste, the confinement period is mainly light, and all kinds of milk soup are similar, and Just for one or two months, nutritional science is good, and taste requirements don’t need to be high. In addition, experienced confinement sisters have been specially trained in cooking skills. They meet many customers from all over the world, and they are generally good cooks.
