Market survey of babysitters in the Spring Festival： 3300 yuan for chatting for a month without anyone doing it.

Male nannies are still a minority in the market.

　　Near the end of the year, the topic of "Chinese New Year nanny’s daily salary exceeds that of 500 yuan" has attracted attention. According to media reports, during the Spring Festival in 2020, the price of domestic service personnel will all rise, and the daily salary of full-time nannies will also start in 300 yuan, and the highest can reach above 500 yuan.

　　Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, the salary and shortage of nannies will cause heated discussion. Families who need to hire nannies also say that it is not easy to find a suitable nanny during the Chinese New Year.

　　So, what’s the situation of Hangzhou nanny market this year? Qianjiang evening news recently visited the domestic service market in Zhaohui, Hangzhou, and chatted with the agents and aunts.

　　"Aunt in short supply? You see, we sit here every day waiting for the aunt hired by the employer. " Zhang Fengjuan, head of Chengwang Home Economics Service Department in Hangzhou Zhaohui Home Economics Service Market, said that it is now more difficult to match the needs of both parties: employers have their own set of standards for choosing people; When aunts take jobs, most of them have to weigh various factors such as labor remuneration and service intensity.

　　3,300 yuan to chat for a month, no one did it.

　　"Where are you from?" "How old?" "Going back to your hometown in the New Year?" … … On December 25th, Mr. Wang, a 50-year-old Hangzhou native, wanted to find a nanny for his 75-year-old mother. "My mother lives in an apartment for the elderly, and she is taken care of for eating and washing, and her actions are fairly comfortable. She just wants to find someone to talk with her and look after her at night."

　　He soon surrounded a circle of aunts, but none of them had the will to take this job.

　　"The monthly salary is 3,300 yuan, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Such a price will definitely not be found." An aunt from the Northeast is very honest and frank: Even though this kind of work is relatively easy, their main purpose is to make money. "Without money, everything else is useless.".

　　At 3: 00 pm, there are few employers looking for domestic service, and aunts sit and chat in twos and threes, and also share some recruitment news. "I just came to an employer and lived in a five-story villa. It costs 6,000 yuan a month. Will you do it?" An aunt asked. Soon, many aunts around began to discuss. Some people estimated that "cleaning the fifth floor, cooking and looking after the children are very tired and unbearable." Someone bluntly said, "Such a heavy job is not cost-effective."

　　Within a few hours of the reporter’s squatting in the domestic service center, some employers came one after another, but few of them actually signed the contract. Mr. Huang, 51, wanted to find a live-in nanny for the elderly at home. He went around the market several times and didn’t find the right one. He said, "During the Chinese New Year, my salary will definitely go up, and I can accept it, but the main reason is that there is no eye fate. Choosing a nanny depends on the eye fate."

　　It’s hard to find a job after 60.

　　Aunt Han from Jiangxi has been waiting in the market for several days, but she hasn’t waited for her employer. She said, the main reason is my age. "I am 62 years old this year. Many employers will think I am too old, afraid that I will not do things neatly, and I am afraid that I will have physical problems at home and cannot afford this responsibility."

　　"Of course, people in their forties are the most popular," Aunt Han observed some aunts who were negotiating with their employers, and was a little unconvinced. "They are confident, mainly young, but many of them are not as experienced as me."

　　During the interview, Aunt Han told reporters not to always write "nanny shortage". "Look, where is the shortage? Aren’t they all waiting aunts?" She recalled that last year, the market suddenly flooded into a group of "unfamiliar faces" aunts. These aunts said that they saw on TV that Hangzhou was "aunt shortage" and their wages were high, so they ran from Wenzhou and Taizhou. "As a result, I found that this was not the case at all and went back the next day."

　　Aunt Han also complained that the arrival of a large number of "young" aunts would take away her few opportunities.

　　Male nanny wronged: I can cook and wash clothes.

　　"Where did you come from?" "I’m not doing it at home now. I’m a security guard."

　　"Why did you come here?"

　　"Being a nanny again."

　　An aunt sat next to Lao Zhang and chatted with him. Lao Zhang, 51, was the only male candidate in the market that day. He changed from security guard because he felt that the income from work in the domestic industry was stable. "There are few cases of wage arrears and family warmth."

　　As early as 2006, Lao Zhang entered the domestic industry. Later, because the acceptance of male nannies decreased, he began to find other jobs.

　　Lao Zhang said that most families don’t accept male nannies. On the one hand, many male nannies smoke and drink, causing dissatisfaction among the elderly in the family, "ruining the atmosphere." In addition, male nannies spend more on eating and drinking at home. "For example, if a woman eats a bowl of rice, we may have to eat two bowls, which is a bit too much for the average family."

　　The aunt on the side took the conversation. "The male nanny is completely uncompetitive compared with us. Cleaning, washing clothes and cooking are all done well by women. "

　　Lao Zhang was anxious. "I can cook and wash clothes as well, and I am stronger than you."

　　Lao Zhang decided to try again while the Chinese New Year was coming. He said, "It’s best to find a long-term nanny. If not, you can be a short-term babysitter with high salary."

　　Aunties gave him advice. Generally, after the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a "replacement tide", and many nannies who used to live at home may come out to be substitutes. The salary depends on the workload of the new employer’s family, usually 300-500 yuan a day.

　　Lao Zhang immediately asked after listening, "Is 500 a day to see the elderly or children?" "Children, of course."

　　Lao Zhang gave a cry and stopped talking. He knows that the elderly who are seriously ill or fat are more willing to choose him.

　　Chinese New Year red envelopes test the employment relationship best.

　　In Zhaohui domestic service market, we know that during the Chinese New Year, most aunts hope that their employers can double their wages or give them a big red envelope. Many aunts said that employers usually give them a salary increase, red envelopes and clothes during the Spring Festival. If some employers don’t want to, they may quit their jobs or jump ship when the Spring Festival approaches, and come to the domestic market to see new opportunities.

　　"But most aunts still go home during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed a few substitutes." An aunt said.

　　Aunt Ke, who is going to stay in Hangzhou for the Spring Festival this year, said that the salary for the Spring Festival is expected to be one day in 400 yuan. However, she said that domestic service agents are unwilling to raise prices too high. "They are afraid of disrupting the market, and they are afraid that the asking price will be too high and the signing rate will be reduced, which will affect their commission." So sometimes, she will make two preparations, talk to her employer herself, or go to the intermediary to sign an agreement. "Without an agreement, there is no guarantee."

　　At present, Aunt Ke has a potential employer and is very satisfied with her, but Aunt Ke still wants to wait and see. "Because I need to take care of an old man with a stroke." She said that most aunts are more willing to take care of children, and their wages are relatively high. Generally, they spend more than 6,000 yuan a month to look after children and 4,000-5,000 yuan to take care of the elderly.

　　In the domestic service market, we also found that most of them came from older aunts and employers.

　　"Now many post-80s and post-90s couples are looking for domestic service, and they prefer to find it on various Internet platforms, which will also divert some customers. Most of the people who come to the housekeeping center to find their aunts are elderly people. " Zhang Fengjuan said that now, some young aunts will also choose to call the domestic service platform online.
