    Looking for something else

    Every request is different. Tell us what you need, and we will let you know how we may be able to help.

  • Finding the right support is personal.

    So is our approach.

    Finding an Ayi, nanny or babysitter isn't simply about filling a position. The right match depends on your family's routine, priorities and the kind of support that works for you.

    At Ayi Matchmakers, we take the time to understand what matters to you and help you navigate the matching process.

    We listen first

    Every family is different. We start by understanding your needs, preferences and circumstances.

    We focus on the right match

    Rather than simply sending a long list of candidates, we look for people who could genuinely be a good fit.

    We know the local market

    Our business is built around experience and relationships in Shanghai's household-support market.

    Flexible support

    From longer-term placements to temporary childcare, we can help with a range of family and household needs.

    The process for finding your helper

    1

    Needs

    Tell us about your family, your schedule, your household and the type of support you are looking for.

    2

    Research

    We review our network and search for candidates who fit your requirements.

    3

    Interview

    We arrange interviews with candidates who appear to be a good fit.

    4

    Trial

    Once you have chosen a candidate, the trial period gives both sides the opportunity to make sure the arrangement works.

    5

    Contract

    If the trial goes well, you can proceed with the agreed longer-term arrangement.

  • Our story

    Built from personal experience

    Ayi Matchmakers was founded after our founders experienced firsthand how difficult it could be to find household support that was genuinely the right fit.

    We believed there had to be a more personal way.

    Today, we help a growing community of families — primarily in Shanghai,

    with selected opportunities elsewhere in China.
