We hear these questions all the time, “How much do you pay your ayi?” “Does your ayi do laundry?” and the most hotly debated, “Do you give your ayi an annual bonus?”
Part of life in Beijing involves finding yourself an ayi, someone to carry out those tedious household chores and help to look after your kids. For some, the concept can be difficult to adjust to; the idea of having a stranger doing all the tasks you are perfectly capable of performing yourself doesn’t always rest easy. For others, the transition to paying a reasonable wage for a clean home is a straightforward financial transaction.

Now in its 11th year, the Beijing Ayi Survey was started by our colleague Tobal Loyola. After asking around about ayi salaries and getting a variety of responses, he realized there was a need for a community resource to provide a basis for comparison.
Once again, we’re conducting the Ayi Survey to collect some much-needed information on an essential part of your life in Beijing.
To take the survey, scan the QR code in the poster below. Help us help you get the most accurate and up-to-date information about ayis in Beijing.
