Chinanews, Beijing, Jan.8 – Twenty-five university graduates introduced by a domestic service company in Beijing to work as housemaids have become the most welcomed by their employers, although the latter have to pay at least twice the salary of ordinary housemaids.

 

The domestic service company, just a small room in a far-flung suburb of Beijing, is filled with clients to "scare buy" these university graduates as housemaids.

 

"These students from colleges or universities have comparatively high comprehensive quality. They can help us in child care and education," said a client.

 

Ordinary housemaids only undertake simple housework, while these so-called "high-grade home assistants" mainly engage in initiatory1 education of preschool kids and tutorship of primary and secondary students. Therefore, they earn much more than those of the common run.

 

"We hope our employers know that as university graduates we will not merely provide simple housework service," said one of them.

 

It is believed that, with strengths in knowledge and etiquette2, these well educated housemaids, most of them born of rural families, will satisfy their employers.
