• 在洛杉矶怀孕生宝宝，到底请月嫂还是住月子中心，其实一直是个很纠结的选择，现在生育集中在90至00这一段中，父母基本上以70年代人为主，说靠双方父母吧，也不见得，自己的生育金应该也能覆盖住生产/月子这些费用。

    行业内10几年的工作经验，也创业过月子中心，退股，散伙。现在独资创立月嫂公司，来客观说说，10万以上的月子中心品牌溢价有多少，非普通家庭能负担，算个成本，独栋式的房间费每天多少，食材成本最多230美元/天，护理师每月10000/实则28天。

    如果是酒店式成本可能更低，因为减少了能源开支水电煤等，清洁费，中流砥柱：5至8万，品牌溢价没那么多，其实成本差不多，可控预算就是护理师，食材成本，耗品类降低，增加赞助商数量低端：5万以下姑且不谈，低价吸引，高价出所，相信每个人都有被开发的潜在需求，二次疯狂销售你。

    In Los Angeles, the decision of whether to hire a postpartum caregiver or stay at a postpartum care center after giving birth has always been a difficult one.  Currently, most births are among those born in the 1990s and 2000s, with their parents mostly from the 1970s. While relying on both sets of parents is an option, their own maternity benefits should be sufficient to cover the costs of childbirth and postpartum care.

    With over 10 years of experience in the industry, including starting and then leaving a postpartum care center business, I've now founded my own postpartum caregiver company. Let me objectively discuss the brand premium of postpartum care centers costing over $100,000.  These are unaffordable for most families. Let's break down the costs: the daily room rate for a detached house, food costs (at most $230/day), and the caregiver's salary ($10,000/month, actually for 28 days).

    Hotel-style centers might have lower costs due to reduced energy expenses (electricity, water, gas), and cleaning fees. Mid-range centers (50,000 to 80,000 USD) have less brand premium; the costs are similar, but the controllable budget lies in caregiver salaries, food costs, and reduced consumables.  Lower-end centers (below 50,000 USD) are not worth discussing; they attract with low prices but then upsell aggressively, exploiting potential needs and engaging in secondary sales tactics.

    在现市场阶段,半年的预定，跑路倒闭的风险有多少，当期入住可选心仪房间有多少，并不是因为我开月嫂公司为住家月嫂说话，住家月嫂相对来说 风险低，面试2至3个月嫂，定金支付少，0跑路风险，除非是换单阿姨，个人也会建议把换单风险加上。若面试阿姨无法上户，可索取赔偿，作为家政月嫂公司一定希望面试上户一个月嫂搞定，来减少换人成本。

    同样对比5万以下选的月子中心，就拿食材成本来说一天100多美元，但是你请月嫂，5万多可以请2至3个月，食材能选择自己吃的放心吃的健康的，切做饭好的月嫂太多了。

    分享了这么多，希望对大家有所帮助。

    In the current market, what are the risks of booking a confinement nanny six months in advance, and how many preferred rooms are available for immediate occupancy?  This isn't because I run a confinement nanny agency and am biased towards live-in nannies. Live-in nannies generally have lower risks; you can interview 2 to 3 nannies, pay a small deposit, and there's virtually no risk of them running away, unless the nanny is replaced. I would also suggest considering the risk of a replacement nanny. If the interviewed nanny is unable to start the job, you can claim compensation. As a domestic service and confinement nanny company, we certainly hope to find a suitable nanny in one go to reduce replacement costs.

    Similarly, compared to confinement centers costing less than 50,000 RMB, let's consider the cost of ingredients alone – over $100 per day. However, with a confinement nanny, 50,000 RMB can cover 2 to 3 months, and you can choose ingredients you trust and that are healthy.  There are also many excellent nannies who are great cooks.

    I hope this information is helpful to everyone.
