Recently, a special baby rearing skill performance was held in Anren County, and thousands of rural women with nursery certificates from various villages and towns showed off their baby rearing skills to celebrate the International Women's Day of March 8. Finally, 15 outstanding contestants were selected to perform on the same stage to show their theoretical knowledge and practical operational ability of rearing baby.
Yang Liming, the sponsor of the event, introduced that in order to help many rural women at home, especially those from poor families, to master a skill, she took the initiative to go deep into 13 townships throughout the county to carry out training activities and provided employment opportunities for the women who are willing to work as babysitters and have the nursery certificates. After training, Longping, a poor household in Yongle River Town, told the reporter with emotion: "I used to be a waiter in a hotel with monthly salary of less than 2,000 yuan. After taking part in the training of babysitters, I can get 5,800 yuan a month now. What is more important is that this job makes me more loving, patient, responsible and more confident in getting out of poverty! "
It was reported that Anren County has offered free training to the vast number of rural women who are willing to work as babysitters since 2016. So far, the county has held more than 10 sessions and helped nearly 1000 staff members to obtain the "nursery certificates" and more than 400 women from poor families to be employed successfully at home to speed up the pace of poverty alleviation.
