• 越来越多的家庭选择移民海外，出国生活工作的华人越来越多，直接带动了海外月嫂保姆家政这一市场的需求，记者从上海多家家政公司了解到，目前市场上紧缺高端家政从业人员，其实，这个行业也是朝阳产业，很多大学生有一定的英语水平，加上专业培训，这也是一个求职空间，然而，随着高端月嫂的需求增多，但高端月嫂的人选严重不足。多家家政公司初步估计，有的保姆看好这块市场，报名的很多，但是能入选出国月嫂的比例非常少，不足两成。 今天，维尔国际家政就来带大家了解一下出国月嫂这个神秘而又赋予使命和责任感的职业。

    More and more families are choosing to emigrate abroad, and the increasing number of Chinese people living and working overseas has directly driven the demand for overseas nannies, babysitters, and domestic helpers.  Reporters learned from several domestic service companies in Shanghai that there is currently a shortage of high-end domestic service professionals. In fact, this is a sunrise industry, and many university graduates with a certain level of English proficiency, coupled with professional training, can find employment in this field. However, while the demand for high-end nannies is increasing, the supply of qualified candidates is severely insufficient. Several domestic service companies estimate that although many nannies are interested in this market and have applied, the proportion of those selected to work as overseas nannies is very small, less than 20%. Today, Weil International Domestic Services will take you to learn about this mysterious profession of overseas nannies, a job imbued with a sense of mission and responsibility.

    首先我们要了解什么是出国月嫂？这个相信从字面意思我们已经有了理解，是指具有5年以上工作经验，要求护理超过30个产妇和新生儿，相貌端正，拥有高级母婴护理证，身体健康状况良好且拥有健康证，在此基础上具备营养月子餐制作，产后康复，小儿推拿按摩，懂产后心理疏导，开奶通乳等专业技能要求，并且得到上户家庭的口碑好评认可，零差评的才有资格做出国月嫂。

    为什么要出国做月嫂呢？

    1 出国月嫂的服务对象都是海外华人，和在国内的工作性质是一样的，不需要会外语，只要懂简单英文即可，同样的服务回报更高一些

    2 国内竞争激烈，由于国内月嫂市场已经入饱和状态，月嫂行业收入基本透明成熟，收入方面没有太大增加空间

    3 国内顾客选择性多，对月嫂要求更加挑剔，更有甚至附带保姆家务工作，还需要亲手做菜、是否会做中餐、西餐、对家居陈设摆放等是否讲究等等

    4 出国算是一种自我镀金，即赚到钱又可以去国外看看异国他乡的风景，增长见识，丰富内心，最主要回国后客户更有一种认同感，提高竞争力

    First, let's understand what an overseas confinement nanny is. The term itself is quite self-explanatory: it refers to a nanny with over 5 years of work experience, who has cared for more than 30 mothers and newborns, is presentable, holds an advanced maternal and infant care certificate, is in good health and possesses a health certificate.  In addition, they must possess professional skills such as preparing nutritious post-partum meals, providing postpartum rehabilitation, performing pediatric massage, understanding postpartum psychological counseling, and assisting with breastfeeding.  Only those who have received positive feedback and zero negative reviews from their previous clients are qualified to work as overseas confinement nannies.

    Why work as an overseas confinement nanny?

    1. Overseas confinement nannies serve overseas Chinese families. The nature of the work is the same as in China, and fluency in a foreign language is not required; basic English is sufficient.  The compensation for the same service is higher.

    2. Domestic competition is fierce. The domestic confinement nanny market is already saturated, and income in the industry is relatively transparent and mature, with little room for significant increases.

    3. Domestic clients have more choices and are more demanding of confinement nannies. Some even require additional housekeeping duties, such as cooking, including Chinese and Western cuisine, and attention to home decor and arrangement.

    4. Working abroad is a form of self-improvement.  It allows you to earn money while experiencing foreign cultures, broadening your horizons, and enriching your life. Most importantly, upon returning to China, clients will have a greater sense of trust and recognition, increasing your competitiveness.

    出国月嫂为什么如此收海外华人家庭青睐？

    1 由于东方人和西方人体质上的差异，西方国家的妇女产后是不用坐月子的，因此，国外是没有月嫂这一职业的

    2 出国月嫂和海外华人家庭的生活习惯和饮食习惯相同，最后，产妇从情感上来说，更愿意接受同一个民族风俗习惯相同的月嫂，有亲切感，有共同话题，对新妈妈产后抑郁可提供心理疏导，当地一般月嫂大概月薪是3500-4000美元左右，国内最好的月嫂3000美元左右，价格更合适。

    严格来说国外当地也算是有“月嫂”这一说的，比如美国，加拿大，澳洲，都是一些下岗后陪伴子女出国的或移民的华人妈妈组成的‘月嫂’队伍，依靠自己带过自家孩子的生活经验干起了“专业月嫂”，运气好碰到一个带过2-3个宝宝的月嫂可以称之为“超级金牌月嫂”了，更别提月子餐，催乳，产康，小儿推拿及黄疸等疾病观察护理了，个别经验丰富的还要按需收费，做月子餐另外加钱，开奶另外加钱，最重要服务质量完全无法保障，一旦有点意外或冲突，你一点办法都没有，因为人家是有绿卡的美籍华人。所以很多华人更愿意从国内请月嫂过去。

    在美国，除了通过中介，不少华人家庭通过华人社区和华文论坛寻找月嫂，这会涉及到了这些月嫂是否持有合法身份的问题。宝宝如果在黑工月嫂手里发生意外，肇事者根本无法追踪，因为到时那个月嫂已经跑路，而且没有合法的美国身份，更别提有专业的护理资质了。因此，很多华人家庭愿意舍近求远到国内的机构找月嫂。

    出国月嫂的服务内容有哪些？

    Why are nannies from China so popular with overseas Chinese families?

    1. Due to the differences in physical constitution between Eastern and Western women, women in Western countries do not observe the traditional postpartum confinement period. Therefore, the profession of "postpartum nanny" (yue sao) does not exist in Western countries.

    2. Nannies from China share similar living and dietary habits with overseas Chinese families.  Furthermore, mothers are emotionally more comfortable with a nanny from the same cultural background, feeling a sense of familiarity and having common topics of conversation. This can provide psychological support for new mothers experiencing postpartum depression.  The average monthly salary for a local nanny is around $3500-4000 USD, while the best nannies from China cost around $3000 USD, making them a more affordable option.

    Strictly speaking, there are some people who act as "nannies" in foreign countries, such as in the US, Canada, and Australia. These are often Chinese mothers who have been laid off, accompanied their children abroad, or immigrated, and rely on their experience raising their own children to become "professional nannies."  If you're lucky enough to find a nanny who has cared for 2-3 babies, they might be considered a "super-premium nanny."  However, they often lack expertise in areas such as postpartum meals, lactation support, postpartum recovery, pediatric massage, and monitoring and caring for conditions like jaundice. Some experienced nannies even charge extra for specific services, such as preparing postpartum meals or providing lactation support. Most importantly, the quality of service is completely unpredictable. If any accidents or conflicts occur, you have no recourse because these nannies often have green cards and are American citizens. Therefore, many Chinese families prefer to hire nannies from agencies in China.

    In the US, besides using agencies, many Chinese families find nannies through Chinese communities and online forums. This raises concerns about whether these nannies have legal status. If an accident happens to the baby while under the care of an undocumented nanny, the perpetrator cannot be traced because the nanny will likely have fled, and they lack legal US status and professional nursing qualifications. Therefore, many Chinese families are willing to go the extra mile to find nannies through agencies in China.
