• 随着赴美生子逐渐成为更多家庭的选择，专业的母婴护理服务——尤其是经验丰富的月嫂，已成为确保产后恢复与新生儿健康成长的关键一环。然而，许多家庭在规划预算时，往往侧重于月嫂的基础薪资，而忽略了构成完整服务成本的其余必要部分。爱心宝贝国际家政凭借多年深耕美国家政服务领域的专业经验，特此梳理出除月嫂基本薪资外，您需要提前了解与规划的常见费用，助力您实现更加从容、安心的服务体验。

    一、交通费用：明晰权责，保障顺畅

    为确保月嫂能够准时、顺利地到岗服务，雇主通常需要承担其首次上工至您府上的交通费，以及服务结束后的返程费用。若月嫂采用通勤制，我们建议双方在签约前，就每日往返的公共交通费用或合理的燃油补贴达成书面共识，以避免后续因通勤问题产生不必要的误解。

    二、专项护理服务：按需提供，价格透明

    除基础母婴护理外，部分月嫂可提供如新生儿包皮护理与产妇催乳通乳等专项服务。此类服务因涉及额外专业技能与责任，通常作为独立项目另行收费。根据当前市场行情，每项服务的费用普遍约为300美元。爱心宝贝国际家政提醒您，若服务方报价显著高于此范围，建议在合约签署前进行充分沟通与协商，确保每一项费用都清晰合理。

    As giving birth in the United States becomes an increasingly popular option for many families, professional maternal and infant care services—especially experienced postpartum nannies—have become a crucial element in ensuring postpartum recovery and the healthy growth of newborns. However, when planning their budget, many families often focus on the basic salary of the postpartum nanny while overlooking other necessary components that make up the complete service cost. Drawing on years of professional experience in the US domestic service industry, Aixin Baby International Domestic Service has compiled a list of common expenses you need to understand and plan for in advance, in addition to the basic salary of the postpartum nanny, to help you achieve a more relaxed and worry-free service experience.
    I. Transportation Costs: Clarifying Responsibilities for Smooth Service

    To ensure that the postpartum nanny arrives on time and provides services smoothly, employers usually need to cover the transportation costs for the nanny's initial arrival at your home and the return trip after the service ends. If the nanny commutes daily, we recommend that both parties reach a written agreement on daily public transportation costs or reasonable fuel subsidies before signing the contract to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings regarding commuting issues.

    II. Specialized Care Services: Provided on Demand, Transparent Pricing

    In addition to basic maternal and infant care, some postpartum nannies can provide specialized services such as newborn circumcision care and postpartum lactation support. Because these services involve additional professional skills and responsibilities, they are usually charged separately as independent items. According to current market rates, the cost of each service is generally around $300. Aixin Baby International Domestic Service reminds you that if the service provider's quote is significantly higher than this range, it is recommended to have thorough communication and negotiation before signing the contract to ensure that every expense is clear and reasonable.

    三、小费文化：尊重习俗，回馈优质服务

    小费是美国服务行业的重要组成部分，也是对优质服务表示认可与感谢的重要方式。在月嫂服务中，若您对其服务品质感到满意，我们建议支付月嫂基本薪资10%至20% 的小费。具体比例可依据您的满意程度、服务时长及所在地区的普遍习惯进行灵活调整，这既是尊重当地文化的体现，也是对月嫂辛勤付出的重要激励。

    基础薪资参考：目前，美国境内专业月嫂的服务周期通常为26天，市场参考价格区间普遍在 7,000至9,000美元。具体薪资会因所在州、月嫂资历、服务内容复杂度等因素浮动。

    周全的前期规划，是达成一次愉快合作的基础。爱心宝贝国际家政致力于为您提供专业、透明的咨询与服务，我们愿以丰富的经验和负责任的态度，成为您赴美之旅的可靠伙伴，让您能全心全意迎接新生命的到来。

    III. Tipping Culture: Respecting Customs and Rewarding Quality Service

    Tipping is an important part of the American service industry and a key way to show appreciation for excellent service. For postpartum doula services, if you are satisfied with the quality of service, we recommend tipping your doula 10% to 20% of her base salary. The specific percentage can be adjusted flexibly based on your satisfaction level, service duration, and local customs. This demonstrates respect for local culture and serves as an important incentive for the doula's hard work.

    Base Salary Reference: Currently, the service period for professional postpartum doulas in the United States is typically 26 days, with market prices generally ranging from $7,000 to $9,000. Specific salaries may vary depending on the state, the doula's qualifications, and the complexity of the services provided.

    Thorough planning is the foundation for a successful collaboration.

We are ready to be your reliable partner on your journey to the United States, using our extensive experience and responsible attitude, allowing you to wholeheartedly welcome your new baby.
