How is the profession of confinement nanny?

There are many people who are curious about this industry, but are hesitant to join. This practitioner shares his own experience, hoping to give you some reference if you are curious.

To summarize the characteristics of this industry:

The wages are high, and the longer you work, the higher the wages. Although an order takes 26 days, 42 days or even longer, depending on customer needs. But you can freely arrange when to take the order next time. People nowadays are generally of higher quality, and most of them have pretty good tempers. A baby in confinement spends most of his time sleeping and has only a few needs. 1. Why did you choose the confinement nanny industry?

Me! Education: Junior high school graduation. In the early days, I studied accounting and had some financial knowledge. Before I became a confinement nanny, I was engaged in simple clerical and financial work, and also worked in sales. The salary is not very high, but it is enough to make ends meet.

Entered by chance. When I was still working as an accountant, I was chatting in a V group with my friends one day. My friend sent a picture of his mother and said that his mother had passed the exam as a senior nurse and would start working as a confinement nanny. At that time, an idea immediately came to my mind: "Maybe I can also be a confinement nanny in the future."

Later, I got into debt. After resigning from my previous company, I decided to become a confinement nanny. After all, the salary in this industry is high. 2. Classification of confinement nanny

There are two types of confinement nanny, one is that they live at home 24 hours a day. One works in a confinement center. There are two types of confinement centers, one with 24-hour one-on-one care and the other with 12-hour morning and evening shifts. The confinement nanny will also be divided according to working years, beginner, intermediate and advanced, with different price ranges.

You can consider working in a confinement center as a junior. The more your baby learns, the more you will learn. Although the salary is not as high as household wages, the income is stable, the environment is good, and food and accommodation are included. If you accumulate a certain amount of customers, you can transfer them to your account. 3. How to enter the industry

When I first entered the industry. I found three housekeeping companies, settled on a larger one, and paid a tuition fee of 1,880 yuan.

After training and getting the certificate, I was very anxious. Because it is difficult to find orders for junior confinement nanny. The housekeeping company said that they would recommend jobs, which are all for babysitting, taking care of babies after one month old. I personally feel that if you become a nanny, you will not learn the real skills, and you will definitely not be able to do well as a confinement nanny in the future. So I contacted a housekeeping company and asked them to recommend me to work in a confinement center.

I am experienced in raising children. I have two children, so I have accumulated a certain amount of parenting knowledge. However, the confinement center will provide more formal training in order to be responsible for adults and children. Food and accommodation are included but no salary. You have to learn all over the theory and practice, and you have to take an exam. Only after passing the exam can you start placing orders.

Sisters, if you are not sure whether you can bear the hardship of being a confinement nanny, you can take a certificate first like me. Then I went to a confinement center to do a few internships to make sure I wanted to develop in the long term, and then I went to learn lactation and postpartum recovery.

The tuition fee for lactation and childbirth care is about 5,000. Sisters with sufficient funds can gradually take some other certifications in the future, such as psychological counselors, early childhood education... some are not... I personally think these certifications are useless, but they can make customers think you are great, and your salary can go up. add.

Sisters who want to enter the confinement nanny industry must carefully choose a training institution to avoid pitfalls. Be sure to choose a large housekeeping company with many employment opportunities.

It is very difficult for a newbie to take care of confinement care orders as soon as they get started. Since they don’t have the resources at hand, they can only rely on introductions from housekeeping companies. Housekeeping companies don't dare to take risks and usually only introduce people to some confinement centers for internships or as nannies. Here we recommend the first choice for internships in confinement centers. Sisters who are new to the industry must not be impatient, study hard and accumulate experience, and lay a solid foundation. In the later period, the order volume will definitely be endless, and the unit price will also rise rapidly. 4. My own summary of my feelings

Now I would like to summarize my feelings as a confinement nanny:

I am one of the lucky ones. I entered the profession in a confinement center. The confinement center came out to find single-child care sheets and after two months, they started to register. When I joined the company, I had a background in writing and shooting, so when I made my first order, I did some promotion online. One day it suddenly became popular, and the list was filled up all of a sudden. The interval between the two orders is basically five or six days, and my current personal condition is okay.

There is hard work but also happiness.

Let’s talk about the hard part first:

In addition to cooking three staple foods and three snacks in a day, feeding the baby, bathing and changing diapers, removing jaundice, flatulence, choking, vomiting, and redness Buttocks, eczema...these are common problems for newborns, so be very careful. They also need to care for the mother's wounds and breasts, scrub her body, and wash her hair every few days.

In addition, because the baby’s sleep is unstable and he wakes up almost every two hours, even at night, lack of sleep is normal.

For me, the most difficult thing is dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Some mothers-in-law are very strong and cannot accept scientific confinement. There will definitely be conflicts if the concepts are inconsistent, and I no longer accept orders from seniors. Because I'm too young and don't like to face this kind of problem head on.

Let’s talk about the happy part:

Both mothers are very easy to get along with, they are roughly the same age, we can talk about many topics, and we are very happy every day. Those things that seem very hard can be arranged well with the blessing of a good mood. This is why I can continue to do this.
