Chinanews, Beijing, September 10 - Senior housekeepers are in great demand in Beijing, and their average annual income has risen to the tune3 of close to 200 thousand yuan($25 thousand).

 

The employers of senior housekeepers are high-income earners like chief executives, movie or music stars, etc., who need housekeeper1's service as they don't have time to manage the housework themselves.

 

Housekeepers originated from France, and they used to be the symbol of luxurious4 life. This post disappeared in China long ago, but it has come back to the market to meet the urgent needs there.

 

It is never easy to get housekeepers certificates in China nowadays. Firstly, a capable housekeeper must be a well-educated person with moral integrity. Secondly5, they have to take more than 20 special training courses including cooking, nutriology, finance management, traveling, etiquette6, jewelry7, chromatology, etc. Only after the training can they get certifications at different levels.

 

Currently there are only a few families employing housekeepers in Beijing, thus housekeeping industry has a very good outlook in the city.
