Mr. Ma Weidu, a famous collector, once said frankly on the show: "Hong Kong would rather ask for 200,000 Filipino maids than hire mainland nannies."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, and netizens accused him of having a prejudice against mainland nannies, but when Mr. Ma Weidu told his personal experience, people suddenly realized!
So the same is to take care of the family, why can Filipino maids be more popular than mainland nannies?
Ma Weidu's nanny
Ma Weidu is a collector and cultural scholar, with the title of "the first collector in Beijing", in 2008 he appeared on the program "Hundred Family Forum" and became a well-known collector, Ma Weidu has always been known for his high moral character and academic origins.
However, in a show, Ma Weidu talked about his nanny, as a collector of everyone, his family naturally has countless precious treasures, due to work reasons, there is no time to take care of the family, so Ma Weidu hired a nanny from an intermediary at a high price.
At that time, Ma Weidu only asked for one point, that is, diligence, and finally he took a fancy to a woman in her forties, and after the nanny came to his house, Ma Weidu explained to her some precautions, especially about the two rooms where valuables were stored, which were absolutely not allowed.
After hearing this, the nanny also remembered it in her heart, and promised that she would not enter the room, after a probationary period of more than half a month, the nanny took care of the home in an orderly manner, she not only cleaned cleanly, but also the cooking technology was in line with the taste of the Ma Weidu family, and the nanny's performance was loved by their family.
Ma Weidu was very satisfied with the nanny, so he said to her: "You have been doing well lately, whether it is cooking or cleaning, you are very serious, I have decided to increase your salary from 10,000 to 12,000." And he encouraged the babysitter to continue raising their pay if they perform well in the future.
The nanny was very excited when she heard it, and quickly thanked her, but then Ma Weidu discovered the other side of the nanny, it turned out that whenever Ma Weidu's friends came to visit the house, the nanny would prepare a rich dish for entertainment, and the guests were also full of praise, because the nanny cooked more meals every time, and the guests could not finish eating.
But Ma Weidu found that these endless meals would mysteriously disappear after the next day, which made him feel incredible, so he observed in secret, he found that the nanny never touched unopened items at home, but as long as it was unsealed items, he would be very careful, unless he looked closely, it was difficult to find the loss of things.
There is a bottle of wine after Ma Weidu opened at home, and every time he drinks a little, but as long as he opens the refrigerator the next day, he will find that this bottle will be less than the next day, and there is no doubt that this is what the nanny stole it.
Ma Weidu is not an unreasonable person, he found the nanny to remind her that she can speak out if there is a difficulty at home in the future, and if necessary, she can take the meals from the refrigerator, which is all okay, but only if you tell me in advance.
After the nanny learned that her behavior was discovered, she quickly apologized to Ma Weidu and promised not to make these mistakes in the future, Ma Weidu saw that the nanny was the first time to make a mistake, so he chose to believe her, but no one would have thought that the nanny did not converge in the following days.
One day Ma Weidu returned home and found that the peanut rice on the table was missing, and after asking, he learned that it was the nanny who ate it, Ma Weidu was very angry and severely criticized the nanny's behavior, originally he wanted to fire the nanny immediately, but she saw the nanny crying, and felt pity, so she forgave her.
But after that, the nanny will still take the things at home, such behavior makes Ma Weidu feel bored, so he fired the nanny in a fit of anger, and after dismissing the nanny, Ma Weidu became resistant to the nanny on the market, and then he did not hire a nanny for a long time, until a friend suggested to him to hire a Filipino maid.
And friends also promised him that Filipino maids are more professional than nannies, and more worry-free, with the attitude of trying to try, Ma Weidu found a Filipino maid, after a period of observation, he found that Filipino maids are indeed more professional than nannies, she never says too much, does not have too much psychological activity, just a mindful work.
At home, he also tried to make the host family happy and satisfied, which made Ma Weidu very satisfied, from which he also discovered the difference between Filipino maids and domestic nannies.
The difference between a Filipino maid and a domestic nanny
Some of the mainland nannies lack professional ethics and do not have a good understanding of employment relations, and most of them pay attention to the concept of "equality for everyone", in contrast, Filipino maids are more professional, they will not have the concept of "everyone is equal", and will take customer satisfaction as the highest standard at work.
And Ma Weidu also understands that even if the mainland does not open a mainland market, those high-income people will still find ways to choose Filipino maids, so is the difference between Filipino maids and nannies really that big?
To understand this, we can see from Ma Weidu's personal experience, when his family invited a Filipino maid, he found that the Filipino maid not only did things very meticulously, but basically could do everything, the most important point is that the Filipino maid never took things from the employer's house, even small items such as onions, ginger and garlic.
Originally, Ma Weidu thought that he had just found the right nanny, but after in-depth investigation, it was found that many wealthy merchant families in Hong Kong would find Filipino maids as nannies, and never mainland nannies, which led to two important reasons for this situation.
The first is that Filipino maids can put themselves in a more correct position than mainland nannies, they pay great attention to size, they think that the employer is their food and clothing parents, they absolutely dare not make the employer angry, they also value the interests of the employer's family, and dare not do anything contrary to professional ethics.
Unlike Filipino maids, mainland nannies pay more attention to their own interests, pay more attention to their feelings and moods at work, and sometimes when quarreling with their employers, they will not let each other conflict, and some mainland nannies after working at home for a long time, they begin to think highly of themselves and even have the idea of becoming a hostess.
This is a world away from the attitude of Filipino maids towards employers as food and clothing, and Filipino maids would never use such ideas!
The second point is that Filipino maids have high professional quality, their training is very strict, in order to become a qualified domestic service worker in the Philippines, you must first go to the corresponding training school, receive up to 218 hours of training courses, in the training, not only Filipino maids are required to be literate, but also understand English.
In the skills training, you will be trained in the use of various household appliances, such as washing machines, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, etc., and will also be required to learn to iron various fabrics, tidy up the room, cook dishes, take care of the elderly and children, and so on.
In terms of language, they can learn English, Chinese, Cantonese, etc., and the education of Filipino maids is generally bachelor's degree or above, and they have studied education, psychology, accounting, nurses and other majors, it can be said that Filipino maids have achieved the ultimate in taking care of people.
Therefore, they also have the reputation of "the world's most professional nanny", it can be said that Filipino maids in the world in the field of housekeeping can be regarded as a "well-known brand", in Hong Kong Filipino maids can be described as mature, in the housekeeping industry to seize the market and invincible, according to statistics in 2019 Hong Kong Filipino maids up to 200,000, accounting for 2.7% of the total population of Hong Kong, an average of every 7 households will hire a Filipino maid.
Why do Hong Kong people like Filipino maids?
Filipino maids in Hong Kong earn HK$4,630 a month, which is 4,000 yuan, which is basically no nanny willing to work in the mainland, but there are many Filipino maids in Hong Kong, and Filipino maids with low fees for skills are more cost-effective than confinement wives with high premiums and poor service quality.
Hong Kong people like Filipino maids and their economy has a lot to do with it, first of all, Hong Kong housing prices are very expensive, most Hong Kong people live in crowded houses, and Filipino maids will not dislike the crowded environment of the employer's house, and Hong Kong has developed a very mature housekeeping market system, for foreigners have a strict management system and various service regulations.
The intermediary agency of the Filipino maid is also recognized by the Hong Kong government, almost every Filipino maid intermediary has her file, all kinds of information can be seen at a glance, compared with the Filipino maid, the nanny market in the mainland can be described as quite chaotic, there is no strict training system at all, the service quality of large training institutions can not be guaranteed, and small training institutions are even more unassured.
Through these two points, we can see why Hong Kong should like Filipino maids instead of mainland nannies, Filipino maids with a better service attitude will be very popular in Hong Kong, and even some wealthy families offer a high price of 200,000 a month to hire Filipino maids, and they are always unwilling to accept mainland nannies.
At present, we have not opened a Filipino maid market in the mainland, so the nanny industry has not been affected accordingly, but now everyone in the society is busy with work, families above the middle class have begun to look for nannies, the market demand for nannies is also increasing, and various negative news about nannies is also endless.
If the mainland opens up the Filipino maid market, where should domestic nannies go? Therefore, the professional quality and professional ethics of domestic nannies must be strictly controlled, in sharp contrast to Filipino domestic helpers, nannies appear insignificant, which also exposes many problems in mainland nannies in terms of professionalism, service attitude, spiritual thinking and so on.
With the increasing market demand, such issues have received the attention of many families, and at the same time, platforms and society are doing their best to make people look at the industry in normal eyes, so that they do not discriminate and do not contradict.
