  • How it works

    The process for finding your helper

    1

    Needs

    You send us the detailed requirements you have to your future cleaner, babysitter or maid.

    2

    Research

    Lean back, and wait for us to do the work!

    We will do the research to find your match.

    3

    Interview

    We bring candidates for interview that we both agree could be a good match.

    4

    Trial

    When you have identified the right candidate for your family, a trial starts.

    5

    Contract

    If you are happy with the performance of the helper, the contract is signed.

  • 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.

    That's why we take the time to understand what you're looking for before we start searching.

    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 support you need, when you need it.
