Why did Zuckerberg hire a nanny from China at a high salary?

September 15? Recently, a nanny recruitment news from Silicon Valley in the United States became popular on the Internet. The employer offered the nanny a high salary and asked her to be fluent in Chinese and English. According to the information provided, netizens speculated that this employer is most likely Facebook CEO Zuckerberg. In the face of generous salary, local Chinese in the United States have different reactions.

At the end of August, Zuckerberg's second daughter was born and named "August". Zuckerberg and his wife took photos of their two daughters together and attached a long letter, just like when the first daughter was born. "You are responsible for enjoying your childhood, and your mother and I are responsible for making the world a better place." The big man is a father, domineering and gentle.

Just two weeks before his birth in August, a job advertisement appeared on the Internet. We are a young entrepreneur family in the Bay Area, with several industries, charities and real estate. We are always busy. Now we need a nanny. I hope this nanny can provide a safe, loving and interesting environment for our children. Of course, the nanny's salary is very generous, including the annual salary of 1 1 10,000 to 1.3 million dollars, plus a full set of medical insurance and so on.

According to this recruitment notice, the family's team responsible for "housekeeping" is very complete, and the general manager, housekeeping manager and the ostentation and extravagance described are also quite similar to those in Uzac Berg. However, this job is particularly concerned by Chinese people, mainly because it requires the nanny to be fluent in Chinese and English. Of course, the requirements for nannies are not only language, but also high confidentiality, three years of nanny experience, simple rescue skills and so on.

So, what do local Chinese in the United States think of this well-paid job that requires both Chinese and English? The reporter found through interviews that many people are cautious about "dropping pies".

Wendy, who works in Silicon Valley, said, "If the salary is so high, I will definitely do it, but I think he definitely wants more than people in China. I'm afraid I can't meet the standard myself. Many people can speak Chinese. If they spend such a high price, they will definitely have higher requirements for the nanny's educational level. They should take care of their children and educate them at the same time. " Another female student also said that this job doesn't seem as easy as it looks. She said: "It is actually very difficult to be a nanny, and it is manual work, which is not so easy to do."

For those "rich" software developers in Silicon Valley, it seems that they want to do their work better. Fu Siyuan, an engineer in Silicon Valley, said: "I read the recruitment information and found the salary very meaningful. After all, he asked so much, but I don't think I can do it, and no one around me can. Moreover, if you want to be a nanny for Zuckerberg's children, how can the salary be the same as that of a general nanny? I don't think my English is good enough to teach Zuckerberg's children. My only specialty is writing code, but Zuckerberg can write it himself. As a code farmer, I should write the code well. "

However, some local Chinese are full of confidence and seem eager to try this job. Sun Kai, an overseas student, said, "The salary is very high. I want to go. Being a nanny is easy. Is to coax the child, make him happy, and then feed him. And I can also teach Chinese, not only Chinese, but also dialects; Isn't mother from China? (Oh, her Chinese is not very good) That really needs teaching. "

Others think that although hard requirements are difficult to achieve, there are other specialties to make up for. Shen Hao, another international student, said, "I was shocked at first because the salary was really high. I want to go regardless of my experience, but I'm really not good at raising children, but I can learn a lot from Zuckerberg. I can teach Chinese as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan accents and Cantonese. Besides these, I can play golf, sing and sketch, which can be taught to his children. Some friends around me think it will meet the requirements. Chinese in China is fine, and English in the United States is also good. The bachelor's degree is very simple and the work experience is not difficult to satisfy. "

It is reported that many families in the United States hope that the next generation will be bilingual (or more languages), but only going to language schools may have little effect, so many rich people like to hire bilingual nannies to live at home and "edify" their children anytime and anywhere. But this price is generally unaffordable-according to the price offered by Hollywood stars, the annual salary of a live-in bilingual nanny is generally in six figures. Even if she doesn't live at home, her annual salary is unlikely to be less than 50 thousand, not counting all kinds of benefits and overtime pay.

As for the choice of language, Spanish is popular in the United States, and there are also languages from developed countries such as French and German. But with China becoming more and more powerful, the "nouveau riche" in recent years must be from China. Last year, arabella, Trump's granddaughter, spoke Chinese and sang Chinese songs, which was not only loved by many people, but also discussed the popularity of learning Chinese in the United States. Nowadays, not only the children of American presidents can speak Chinese, but also Silicon Valley tycoons want their children to listen to Chinese as soon as they are born. The importance of Chinese cannot be refuted.

Of course, this job advertisement can't prove that it was sent by Zuckerberg's family, but considering that his wife is from China, learning Chinese can be regarded as "tracing back to the source". And if this is a job advertisement released by other Silicon Valley tycoons, it will further illustrate the importance of Chinese in the eyes of the rich Americans.
