Recently, 33 “intermediate nannies” from the first training of the harbin city domestic service company, halbin, were soon closed on december 5th. These “grade” nannies are known to earn 20 per cent more than ordinary nannies and are more popular than ordinary nannies. Journalists followed the first “intermediate nannies” into the user's home and saw their “excessiveness”。
Three-room one-hour "cook."
Sister lee, aged 37, was one of the first “middle-level nannies” to receive training, and she was recruited a week ago by ms. Zhang, who was staying in xinyang road. Ms. And mrs. Zhang are university teachers, who usually focus on the quality of life, and who have sought nannys several times before, but have not felt fit for a trial period, and some child-sitters from rural areas, while working very hard, have been dissatisfied with many details. The couple had recently learned that the newspaper domestic service had introduced a “middle-career” and had immediately chosen a family member for a trial, concluding that the “level” represented the level. Ms. Zhang is satisfied with her conduct and her professional skills。
The reporter came to ms. Zhang's house yesterday morning and saw ms. Lee organize a room of more than 100 square metres in three rooms in just one hour. She is very good at modern household appliances such as electromagnetic stoves, dishwashers and disinfectant cabinets, and she makes delicious dishes for ms. Zhang in the microwave when cleaning her room. Ms. Zhang's family has a variety of flowers, she has read books, she is also “professional” in her work, and she understands that ms. Zhang's real leather couch, high-grade furniture and clothes are being cleaned and maintained, and she has “teached” some relevant experiences to ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang is pleased to say: “there is a good assistant at home.”
The price is high
On 1 january, journalists interviewed several citizens who employed “middle-career”. After a few days of trial, they felt “money is not spent”. Their assessment of these “level” nannies is that they are “high-quality, good-quality and highly skilled”。
Mrs. Li, who hired the “middle-career”, said that the nanny was more expensive than the normal nanny, but that it felt “different”. According to the department of home economics training, they have introduced “middle-career” services in response to the current situation of intellectuals and high-income white-collar families who require better-quality nannies. The first trainers were selected from among hundreds of nannys. Through strictly formal pre-service training, they can perform household chores, use household electricity, wash clothes, cooking skills, care for the elderly and for infants and young children, and are fully adapted to the needs of their families, with wages rising to around $1,000。
There's a 70% gap with a "level" nanny
Ms. Wang heard of the existence of a “intermediate nanny” and immediately called for a booking, replying that the first 33 mid-level nannys had been recruited. Journalists interviewed a number of domestic companies and learned that, as the demand for baby-sitting at different levels of the population became more diverse, as well as the demands of some well-known families on the comprehensive quality and operational skills of the baby-sitters, the former single “home-career” had been unable to meet the market demand. In response to market demand, domestic companies have chosen well-qualified nannies to provide rigorous training to meet the needs of the population. Some of the better-off citizens of their families say that while the salaries for having a “grade” nanny are high, it is “cost-effective” if they are of high quality and skill。
Surveys show that there is a significant gap between the number of high-level nannys in harbin city and the needs of clients, with a 70 per cent gap with “level” nannys。
According to social scientists, the high cost of employing “level” nannies indicates an increased awareness of the pursuit of quality of life, and the shift of nannies from mere housework to “aides”, “secretaries” also marks a new level in the harbin domestic service。
