A friend plans to go to the United States to have a baby next year. I wonder if the MEBO Confinement Center at home is reliable. Have you ever been there?

I have never stayed there, but a good confinement center will meet the following conditions:

1. Operating hours of the confinement center.

The long operation time proves that the confinement center has a mature service experience and management philosophy. There will be no too many conflicts with customers, and there will be no bankruptcy. It can guarantee that the confinement center can operate normally for a long time after you sign the contract. It can also prove that they are in good operating conditions. Generally, mature confinement centers in LA have about ten years of operating experience. Nowadays, confinement centers for children in the United States are just like fake ones. Many B&B owners also call themselves confinement centers. The owner of his house said that he had more than ten years of business experience only two years after he bought his house. As the industry chain for childbirth in the United States has matured over the years, many local confinement centers and intermediaries have also been eliminated. If a pregnant mother chooses a confinement center that has just opened, it may not be there before you check in.

Because the domestic industry of giving birth to children in the United States developed later than the United States. First of all, confinement centers in the United States only accept intermediaries for pregnant mothers who go to the United States to give birth, so this group of intermediaries registered relatively early in the country. Later, due to the popularity of "Beijing Meets Seattle", the industry of giving birth in the United States became popular in 2013, and the conflicts between local confinement centers and intermediaries in the United States became increasingly obvious at this time. In order to better serve pregnant mothers and use the price difference earned by agencies to serve good customers, most local confinement centers in Los Angeles chose this time to open branches in mainland China. Therefore, most of the business licenses of U.S. direct-operated confinement centers in mainland China are around 2013.

2. The area where the confinement center is located

This is very important. If you want to have a good confinement period, a safe and comfortable environment is essential. As far as Los Angeles is concerned, there are not many places that meet the conditions of safety, convenience, comfort, and beautiful environment at the same time. Some villas with mountain views are beautiful, but they are far away from the city and there are many mosquitoes. Some communities look beautiful, but in fact there is a pasture next to them and the smell is serious. Some of them look very convenient, but the traffic on the surrounding roads is very noisy. In general, there are many places in the United States suitable for Chinese postpartum confinement. But there is only one place that meets the requirements of safety, convenience, comfort, quietness and beautiful environment: Irvine! Of course, the price in Irvine will be more expensive than in places like Rowland Heights, Diamond Bar, Cucamonga, etc. Living in Irvine, you don’t have to worry about being sealed off, a bad environment, thieves and robberies (Irvine is one of the top ten safe and hygienic cities in the United States), and you don’t have to endure the bad ranch air.

3. Domestic service points

Generally, regular confinement centers will have branches in the country; it is convenient to receive guests, apply for visas, and provide follow-up services; it can also provide convenience for those in the country. Domestic customers feel at ease when signing contracts (monks who can run away cannot run away from the temple, there is no branch in the country, and they don’t know who to go to if there is a dispute). However, they will not set up too many branches in too many and some non-first-tier cities (setting up branches is an expense, and the wool comes from the sheep. The more expenses, the more expenses for branches in their package) . Most of them are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Because these places have a large population, there are U.S. consulates for easy processing, and transportation is convenient. If in some other cities, and only in that city. Most of them are undoubtedly intermediaries, that is, pregnant mothers who return to China after going to the United States to give birth introduce people to the places where they have stayed, and they act as intermediaries and get commissions. A good American confinement center will definitely not abandon super cities with huge populations and open branches in second-tier cities.

4. How active the confinement center is

A good confinement center is always full of people coming and going, and there will be dozens to hundreds of permanent residents. The living conditions and testimonials of pregnant mothers who go to the United States to give birth in confinement centers are the best advertisements. Regular confinement centers will broadcast live broadcasts of some of the more important things that happen in the confinement center basically every day to reflect their services and strength. Check it out on the official website of the confinement center, the sales circle of friends, Weibo, etc. If it is busy every day: people are checking in, having prenatal check-ups, giving birth, visiting pregnant mothers, flying back to the country, issuing visas, etc. This proves that this postpartum center is very active, and the pregnant mothers staying there are also willing to share. This proves that the confinement center has a harmonious relationship with its guests. If it were not harmonious, the pregnant mother would not let them send her photos and updates.

5. The professionalism of confinement center staff

The professionalism mentioned here does not mean the superb sales skills, but the professional knowledge of various processes in the U.S. childbirth industry. Familiarity. If an employee of the confinement center doesn't know everything you ask him, he is definitely not professional enough; in this case, either they have a high personnel turnover rate, or they lack relevant training; in short, they cannot solve all aspects of problems for pregnant mothers in going to the United States to give birth. . For example: visa, customs clearance, document processing, document replacement, household registration, MEBO education, etc. Would you trust such an organization to help your MEBO grow? Obviously impossible! Good confinement centers have relatively low employee turnover. When introducing themselves, they will introduce how many years they have served in their own company.

6. Complete service team

This is very important for a person who spends money to enjoy the services of a confinement center! A confinement center with specialized skills, a clear division of labor, and teamwork capabilities will add a lot of points to your journey to the United States to have a baby! A good birth and confinement center in the United States not only has a good sales team, but also a strong team of visa experts, an experienced customs clearance training team, a driver pick-up and drop-off team, a chef cooking team (pregnancy meals and confinement meals are separated), The certified gold medal confinement nanny team, maternal and infant care team, and finally the management team that mobilizes these teams in a reasonable and real-time manner! There are very few confinement centers that have teams with clear divisions of labor. And now there are many agencies and confinement centers that claim to be very powerful and talented. Basically, a few people are responsible for everything. What I have heard is even more outrageous: a couple who stay in a homestay are multi-tasking: visa experts, customs clearance training experts, childbirth consultation experts in the United States, advanced nutrition chefs, confinement nanny, certificate application, airport pick-up and drop-off... I said it would be fine if you only serve one or two people. If you want to serve more, will you be busy? Can the visa service level keep up? Can you pass the level? Will the certificate be issued on time? Can the follow-up service after returning to China keep up? These are all questions! There are also some B&Bs with bad character that directly ask pregnant mothers to come to large confinement centers like ours to defraud visa services, and then go to their homes after obtaining the visas through deception.

The abacus is pretty good, but not many pregnant mothers listen to them!
