    Childcare

    Having a maid, or 'ayi' is very common in China. The salaries are relatively low and maids do not generally live in, so you will not need to find accommodation for her. Many maids do not speak any English and those who do will charge a premium for their services. Maids usually work 8 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week and their tasks can include childcare, cooking, shopping or cleaning. They are often willing to return to your home in the evening for baby-sitting, if required. They have a weeks holiday for Chinese New Year, for which it is also common practice to pay a bonus, plus 3 or more days of holiday for the National May Day and October Day holidays.
