China Will Open Doors to Filipina Nannies in Five Cities, With Monthly Wages of USD1,950 Likely China Will Open Doors to Filipina Nannies in Five Cities, With Monthly Wages of USD1,950 Likely

(Yicai Global) July 31 -- China intends to hire Filipina domestic service workers in five big cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen, and has promised to pay them high wages, per a report issued by the Philippines Department of Labor and Employment.

The two sides are studying the possibility of paying a monthly salary of USD1,950 (100,000 pesos -- about CNY13,000 yuan) to governesses from the Philippines.

A Chinese delegation will visit the country in September to talk further about sending Filipina domestic workers to China, the official media Global Times reported July 31.

One factor prompting Chinese to hire Filipinas as domestic workers is their English mastery, which is helpful in enhancing children's English proficiency, said an official of the Philippines' Department of Labor and Employment. Also, "Filipinas are also gentler than nannies from other countries." Filipina domestic workers are senior servants from the Philippines, that is, domestic service professionals. Civil and adept at English and known as "the world's most professional nannies," Filipina domestic workers represent a famous brand in the world domestic industry, with global footprints.
