    Long term Ayi (nanny, babysitter or cleaner)

    For the everyday need

    In the routine of everyday life, a long term Ayi is the answer to your needs. She can be employed either part time or full time. The Ayi can either live in your residence, or live at her own place (live-out).

    Ayi Matchmakers offers services for placement of babysitters, nannies, cleaners, cooks, maternity matrons and maids.

    Short term Ayi (nanny, babysitter or cleaner)

    For the temporary requirement

    Sometimes you may need help with a one-time cleaning, one night of babysitting or maybe a one-month extra busy period in your household. Temporary Ayis can assist with this need.

    Yuesao (maternity matron)

    For the new mum and baby

    Having a newborn baby is a gift - But also a strain on the family and not least the mum. A Yuesao is a maternity matron that helps in the first busy month after the delivery with everything from baby's bellybutton care to special postpartum meal preparation for the new mum to speed up recovery.

    Babysitter / nanny

    When you need a break

    Everyone needs a night out once in a while. Some people have a regular babysitter for that weekly date-night; others require babysitting just for the random night out.

  • ABOUT

    The Story of AYI MATCHMAKERS

    Ayi Matchmakers offers services for placement of babysitters, nannies, cleaners and maids.

    Ayi Matchmakers was founded in 2018 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 find trusted support — primarily in Shanghai, with selected opportunities elsewhere in China.
