This is beginning to change, however, with the government beginning to offer childcare subsidies in April 2008 and a continuing stream of alarming incidents happening under the watch of unlicensed nannies. Parents-particularly younger parents-are increasingly turning to trained, professional, and devoted nannies to be a "second mother" to their children.
不過這種情形在去年 4 月政府開辦托嬰補助，以及許多無照保母陸續出事、引起家長警覺後已開始漸有改變，兼具專業又有愛心的證照保母，現在已成為許多年輕父母「幫孩子找第二個媽」時的首選。
