A confinement nanny was found to have taken on four assignments in November, leading three of the pregnant women to file police reports against her.
Among them is Zheng, 27, whose baby will be born soon.
When Lianhe Wanbao interviewed her, Ms. Zheng said that she had found the confinement nanny through a Facebook group and the two began communicating.
The nanny shared photos of her with babies from previous assignments, as well as multiple images of confinement dishes that she had apparently cooked.
Ms. Zheng added, “She seemed very experienced and her confinement meals seemed appetizing, so I agreed to hire her for my lockdown in November.”
The confinement babysitter quoted a price of $ 3,200 and requested a deposit of $ 600, which Ms. Zheng immediately agreed to.
A few days later, the babysitter asked if Ms. Zheng wanted to buy ingredients for the seclusion meals, and the pregnant mother paid another $ 118 for them.
Having decided on a confinement woman, Ms. Zheng thought she might enjoy the quiet, but she did not expect to see a Facebook post in October about the same nanny.
The post was from another confinement lady surnamed Hu, who said she had covered five days of confinement for the nanny, but was still owed $ 500 for the work.
There were also three other mothers, all due in November, who had paid a deposit to the same nanny.
The husband of one of the pregnant women, Mr. Zhong, said that the confinement babysitter had accepted a deposit of $ 960 in August.
However, in October, the nanny suddenly claimed she was in poor health and said she would find someone to replace her.
Chen Kaihui, a 33-year-old homemaker, said she had paid a deposit of $ 660.
She added: “The babysitter agreed with everything. How can she go to four places at the same time in a month to do the lockdown?”
When Ms. Chen asked the babysitter to return the deposit, the other party said they had no money.
Ms. Chen shared, “She claimed she was being framed by other confinement babysitters and said that she had spent the deposit. To date, she has only returned $ 50.”
Ms. Zheng also said that she has only recovered $ 50, while Mr. Zhong said that she has not received a penny.
Since all the pregnant women had contacted the babysitter directly, they did not expect anyone else to deliver.
Sensing that something was wrong and questioning the nanny’s intentions, three of the women, including Ms. Zheng, filed a police report.
Police confirmed that complaints were filed and investigations are ongoing.
The nanny is said to be merely an assistant in a zi char position and has no professional experience as a confinement nanny.
When Wanbao contacted her, the nanny denied the allegations and said she had been misunderstood, but did not provide further explanation.
However, she said she was being framed and had reported the matter to the police.
