Guan Pengyu. From a rural woman to a "gold medal confinement lady", and then to a "Hebei Fu sister", Chai Baolan, a 57-year-old ordinary rural woman in Shanggu Town, Chengde County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, lit a lamp of hope with tenacity and wisdom - now, her "worth" is getting higher and higher, her fame is getting bigger and bigger, and her life is getting happier and happier.
Skills for learning in training courses.
Doing some farm work, taking care of a pair of children, life is stable, and I never thought that I would become a gold medal confinement wife. Chai Baolan said that his "transformation" came from a change.
In 2013, her husband, who was the breadwinner of the family, suffered serious sequelae due to a car accident and was unable to engage in heavy physical labor, and the family income** was suddenly interrupted. At that time, the eldest daughter was in college, the younger son was in junior high school, supporting her elderly in-laws and taking care of her bedridden husband, and the burden of the family fell on Chai Baolan.
My husband has been recuperating at home for 3 years. He was treated for medical treatment and his children went to school, and his family borrowed a lot of money. I thought that I had to find a way to prop up my home and let my life go on. "Chai Baolan, who is born to not admit defeat, has been working hard to change the family's predicament.
By chance, Chai Baolan learned that the Chengde County Women's Federation was holding a one-month free training course for confinement nannies. After settling in her family, she signed up for this training.
From a "layman" to an "expert", in order to achieve this goal, Chai Baolan has paid several times more effort and sweat than ordinary people.
The first to arrive, the last to go; Practice the baby-rearing movements over and over again until the backache is unbearable ......In the training class, Chai Baolan was hungry to learn all kinds of unprecedented skills, such as lactating her mother, making confinement meals, and massaging her breasts.
Learn the most seriously, master the business the fastest! This is the evaluation of Chai Baolan by the teacher of the training class.
Make a "reputation" and win "word of mouth".
After the training, Chai Baolan took orders to take care of 2 infants and toddlers. During the period of receiving orders, Chai Baolan won the trust of the employer with her meticulousness, patience and professionalism. After each order was over, the employer offered to keep it, but Chai Baolan politely refused. "In order to earn more money and improve my family's financial situation, I have to be a confinement wife. Chai Baolan said.
The confinement sister-in-law was actually quite tired. Get up early to take your baby to the sun to get jaundice; When the baby is asleep, wash the clothes of the baby and the mother; At noon, we should make a maternity meal; In the afternoon, the baby should be bathed and touched; Wash the wound ...... for the mother at nightChai Baolan said frankly that if you want to do things well, you can't be afraid of hardship.
There is one thing that Chai Baolan has always remembered. Once, during her cooking, the young mother's inexperience caused the baby to choke on milk severely, causing suffocation and purple complexion. Seeing this situation, Chai Baolan didn't bother to wash her hands, but directly picked up the child and took correct first aid measures to turn the child around. Her professional skills can save a life at a critical moment, which makes her love this profession even more.
30% intentions, 70% affection" is Chai Baolan's "six-character scripture". She believes that only by working hard can we do things well; Only by doing things with affection can we do things for a long time. Because of this, in the fiercely competitive confinement industry, she has always had no shortage of customers, made a "reputation", and won a "word of mouth".
One to ten, ten to hundred, Chai Baolan is becoming more and more famous in the industry, and there are more and more "treasure mothers" looking for her.
In order to provide better care for the mother and the baby, Chai Baolan will set aside a window period of 10 to 15 days every time she receives an order to prevent the "schedule collision" caused by factors such as premature birth of the baby.
Down-to-earth and considerate service.
Chai Baolan believes that she can only take care of children and do housework, and such a confinement lady can no longer keep up with the pace of development of the times. In her spare time, she not only consciously learns basic skills such as nutritious catering, scientific feeding, and cultivating baby living habits, but also pays attention to strengthening the knowledge of psychology and interpersonal communication, so that she can become a professional confinement lady who can not only take care of people, but also persuade people.
Since June 2016, Chai Baolan has taken care of more than 60 babies, and her salary has risen from the initial 6,000 yuan to 130,000 yuan. Life at home is getting better and better, Chai Baolan not only paid off her debts, but also graduated with a pair of children. In 2021, Chai Baolan also bought a commercial house and arranged a marriage for her son.
As a senior maternal and child caregiver, after winning the honor of "Hebei Fusao", Chai Baolan still maintains her original intention, full of awe of the profession, gratitude to customers, and down-to-earth intimate service.
In the past two years, the salary of the confinement lady has increased year by year, but Chai Baolan still charges 1The cost of 30,000 yuan, she said, "my today is due to the trust and word of mouth of customers, and I must be worthy of my conscience."
Chai Baolan not only got out of poverty by herself, but also drove the surrounding women to join the confinement industry. She actively shares her experiences to encourage and help them improve their skills and pursue a better life together. "No matter how difficult life is, with courage and determination, everyone is able to light up their new life. Chai Baolan said.
