Young, have a high education, but you are looking for a job as a "housekeeping aunt"? Recently, the job search information of "highly educated overseas returnee's housekeeping aunt" has attracted attention. Some netizens questioned, "Does the housekeeping aunts have such high requirements nowadays?" "Is it real housekeeping or tutoring?"...
reporters found that housekeeping companies have indeed launched "high-educated housekeeping" services. However, there are not many "aunts" who truly have high education and are engaged in "nanny-style" housekeeping work. The so-called "housekeeping services" provided by some "aunts" with high education are to tutor their children and do not undertake housework. Some tutoring institutions even publish relevant information through housekeeping platforms to provide door-to-door subject education tutoring.
researcher Chu Zhaohui told Red Star News reporter that the "tutor" who engages in subject-based extracurricular tutoring in the name of "housekeeping aunt" violates the " double reduction " policy provisions. However, due to its strong concealment, it is usually difficult to regulate. Chu Zhaohui said that in order to truly reduce the academic burden of primary and secondary school students, in addition to standardizing education and training institutions, we also need to focus on improving quality and efficiency, achieving balance, improving evaluation, and working together for the whole society to reduce the demand for off-campus training from the source.
Household agency
caused controversy among netizens due to the post
"Returned Auntie" has taken the initiative to request the deletion of job search information
This time the job search information that caused controversy is a post published on Xiaohongshu. In the post, the "auntie" is 26 years old and claims to have graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, USA. She is good at speaking and programming in English. She wears a red apron with "Swans to Home" and does not clearly write about her job search position, but the introduction is accompanied by topics such as "nanny", "caring for children", "housekeeping", and "parent-child travel".
. Why do overseas returnees who are good at speaking and programming in English, why do they look for jobs on the housekeeping platform? Those who meet this condition are housekeeping aunts or tutors? Red Star News reporter communicated with the agent who posted job search information as a customer, expressing his hope to find a housekeeping aunt who is like this returnee and has a high degree of education to tutor the children in elementary school.
However, the intermediary has repeatedly emphasized that the aunt’s education is not important. Most of the aunts he recommended have a bachelor's degree or below. As in the post, young aunts with outstanding resumes "have never appeared." Shortly after
attracted the attention of netizens, the job search information of the above-mentioned "returnee aunt" had been deleted by the agency. The blogger who posted the post said that because the post caused controversy among netizens, the "returnee aunt" took the initiative to delete the job search information. The reporter saw that most of the housekeeping aunts displayed on the homepage of the agency account have academic qualifications or junior colleges, and there are not many aunts with bachelor's degree or above.
However, many aunts are emphasizing their foreign language skills as an advantage in their self-introduction. Several of the aunts recorded videos and introduced themselves in English. An aunt said that she graduated from a junior college in early childhood education and worked as an English teacher for more than 20 years. She obtained a Level 8 English major certificate in in a certain Foreign Language College. An aunt said that she "has a high school English teacher qualification certificate, and has been an English teacher in the first grade of junior high school and an English teacher in the first grade of high school." An aunt claimed that she studied in the Chinese language and literature major of Normal University undergrad, holds a senior middle school teacher qualification certificate, English CET-4 certificate, Mandarin Level 2 A, and said a paragraph of English in the video to introduce herself.
shows that these resumes highlight not the "aunts"'s ability to do housework, but the subject teaching ability.
The reporter contacted the blogger as a customer and said he wanted to find a "high-education and high-end parenting aunt" who could tutor his children's English homework. Afterwards, the agent Mr. Li (pseudonym) called and said with some distress that many netizens have misunderstood the meaning of his post recently. "In the past two days, many men have come to me and say they want to find a girlfriend, but they are not looking for a housekeeper, which is so angering me."
Mr. Li said that he is a staff member of the housekeeping company of " Swan Home ". The information of the aunt displayed on the homepage of Xiaohongshu is true. He can recommend some suitable "teachers" according to the reporter's requirements. However, he repeatedly emphasized that high-end housekeeping aunts do not need too high education, and experience and practical ability are more important. Many aunts with college degree are also fully qualified. It is recommended that reporters should not be obsessed with "bachelor's degree or above" education, and consider more aunts with college degree but strong English teaching ability.
Mr. Li said that usually young people with high education do not do full-time jobs in the housekeeping industry, but choose to do part-time jobs, because most employers would rather find an experienced aunt to take care of their children. Young people are not "eat" as full-time nanny. "Fragrant". Most of the aunts in the company are around 40 years old, and only a small number of them are around 20 years old. Some of these young people have low education and have learned babysitting knowledge and want to find a job.
Mr. Li mentioned that not long ago, she recommended a teacher named He to customers on the platform. She graduated from a university in Northeast China and rented a house in Shenzhen to take the civil service exam. Her mother is the nanny of the Swan Home Departure Company, so she also wants to find a part-time job to tutor children for homework through the company. It costs 80 yuan per hour for 2 hours a day, hoping to reduce the burden on the family. Mr. Li said that the returnee aunt who caused heated discussion this time also does part-time jobs. "Some parents are busy with work, and after school, they need to ask someone to take care of their children, and that's all. Can people with high education not take care of their children? ” Mr. Li asked.
talked about the aunt who had been an English teacher for more than 20 years. Mr. Li explained that after some teachers in schools or training institutions were laid off or retired, they hoped to have a chance to re-employment, so they came to the housekeeping company to seek a job.
Then, Mr. Li recommended several aunts to reporters. However, most of the aunts recommended by Mr. Li graduated from ordinary undergraduate or junior college. There was only one aunt who held a master's degree certificate, majoring in applied psychology. His resume showed that before coming to "Swan Home", she worked as a junior high school English teacher in a training institution for half a year. These resumes do not look like the returnee aunt. "Stunning".
Under the arrangement of Mr. Li, the reporter "interviewed" an Aunt Wang (pseudonym) with a college degree. Aunt Wang can read picture books in English, and can also conduct a 2-minute self-introduction in English coherently and fluently.
talked about her past work experience. Aunt Wang said that she once brought a child over 4 years old to take the child home from the English interest tutoring class. After returning home, she accompanied the child to do exercises and complete the picture book check-in. In order to avoid boredom, she designed some small games to help the child better understand sentences and words.
Aunt Wang said that she is good at cultivating children's enthusiasm for English after class. Interesting, not school course-related test-taking content. If you only need to tutor your child’s English homework, the price for hiring her is 80 yuan per hour. If you need to conduct daily oral training, the price is 100 yuan per hour because you need to spend more time preparing lessons. In addition, she can also cook for her children and clean up the house simply.
According to Aunt Wang’s situation, the agency Mr. Li suggested that while asking Aunt Wang to tutor her children’s English, a hourly worker would also specially hire a hourly worker to undertake housework such as cooking and cleaning. He emphasized that if you want to sign a contract with Aunt Wang, the contract is written as a "nanny" rather than a "tutor".
High-education "housekeeping aunt" mainly accepts "tutoring" orders
There is a tutoring merchant "recruiting" on the housekeeping platform
The reporter further investigated the Swan Home Departure Company and found that some of the "housekeeping aunt" positions in the company have the shadow of "tutoring" teachers. A recruitment consultant said that if the reporter is a young returnee master's degree, the platform will recommend the reporter to go to Shanghai and other big cities to be tutoring teachers, and someone else does the housework. A business called "XXX Tutoring" recommends home-based tutoring teachers for employers through the Swan Home Departure Platform, and subjects can be taught including Chinese, mathematics, English, etc.
The reporter contacted several housekeeping consultants from Swan Home Delivery Company in other cities as an employer, and expressed his hope to find a teacher with a high education and good English for the child. They said that Swan Home is mainly based on housekeeping business, but they can also find teachers who do not undertake housework and provide full-time tutoring children's homework. Some are teachers with bachelor's degree and have been engaged in the education and training industry, which can meet the needs of tutoring children's language, mathematics, and external affairs.
In the resume of the aunt recommended by Mr. Song (pseudonym), one of the consultants, there are some former practitioners of education and training institutions who have transformed into "housekeeping aunts". An "aunt" claimed that he had been engaged in English teaching in off-campus institutions for 5 years. From 2018 to 2021, he tutored English for students in training classes in the community. This year, she posted her resume through the Swan Home Delivery Company, received training in housekeeping, and looked for a job through the Swan Home Delivery Platform. There is also a master's graduate whose undergraduate school is a well-known university and said that he "want to find a job to tutor and tutor children."

reporter "interviewed" a undergraduate student named Ms. Xue (pseudonym), who just graduated from university. Ms. Xue said that she worked part-time tutoring for primary school students during college, mathematics, and in addition to serving as a middle school chemistry teacher in training institutions. He tends to seek jobs that specializes in tutoring his children's homework, and his abilities in housework are not outstanding.
Mr. Song told reporters that the aunt of the "Swan Home" company is not an internal employee of the company. The company provides job seekers with a platform to find jobs and help job seekers deal with some problems encountered at work. The company, the job seeker and the employer sign a tripartite contract to protect each other's interests.
After the reporter left his phone number on the official webpage of "Swan Home" as a job seeker, the company's recruitment teacher Mr. Deng (pseudonym), called the reporter. When the reporter suggested that he had a master's degree and had overseas study experience, the other party said that for such job search conditions, "We have relatively considerable positions here, which are similar to tutors, to help employers take care of their children."
Mr. Deng told reporters that some families have special nannies responsible for cooking, housework, etc., and finding highly educated "aunts" mainly to help take care of their children. In big cities such as Shanghai, the monthly salary is expected to reach 20,000 yuan. Since the journalist has a college degree or above, he needs to bring his graduation certificate and other documents to the store, conduct face-to-face verification offline, and receive 2 hours of pre-job training before he can take the order.
Tianyancha shows that Swan Daojia Company was established in 2015 and provides users with family services such as nanny, cleaning, month old nanny through platform workers. Wuba Daojia Holdings Co., Ltd. 100% holding . According to the official website of Swan Home Delivery, on September 7, 2020, Swan Home Delivery underwent a brand upgrade and was officially renamed from "58 Home Delivery ". As of the end of 2020, Swan Home has a total of more than 16 million registered users, served more than 4 million users, and has more than 1.5 million registered and certified workers.
reporter noticed that as early as two years ago, the highly educated housekeeping aunt of "58 Home" company caused heated discussion. According to media reports, in 2020, on the 58 Daojia platform, there was a woman named Liu Shuang looking for a job and working as a hourly worker. His resume shows that Liu Shuang graduated from , Xi'an Foreign Studies University, and is proficient in French and English. He has worked in Africa as a large enterprise, and has also been engaged in premature education. Media reports said that the nanny Liu Shuang applied for was not a housekeeping service staff in the traditional sense. She did not participate in housework and was only responsible for taking care of the children's diet, daily life and study and education, and was a high-end housekeeping service.
The reporter searched for "tutor" on the Swan Home Delivery Platform and saw a merchant named "Xiaoshuojia Tutor". The merchant’s introduction reads, “Providing one-on-one home tutoring teacher recommendations…can provide on-the-job teachers, resigned teachers, college students, graduate students, subjects available for teaching: primary and secondary schools: Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, biology, piano, and kindergarten general education."
reporter sent a private message to the account and asked if he could recommend a tutoring teacher in Chinese, mathematics and foreign countries. The other party said he could, and then quickly recommended a teacher in Chinese, mathematics and foreign countries to the reporter. Some teachers said they had been engaged in extracurricular tutoring, while others claimed to be teachers from the school and worked part-time outside the school.
Education expert
engaged in subject-based extracurricular tutoring in the name of "housekeeping aunt"
violated the "double reduction" policy
Red Star News reporter showed his identity and called Tian The Goose Home Service Hotline expressed that it hoped that the company would respond and explain to the above phenomenon. The contactor wrote down the reporter's contact information and said that relevant staff would respond later. However, as of the time of publication, the reporter did not receive a reply. On
Xiaohongshu, some other brands of housekeeping companies also published job search information of "family children's companionship teachers" and "family housekeepers" with high education and strong English skills. A housekeeping company's account posted a video saying that there is a high-end housekeeping nanny, "speaking fluent English, being able to make Western food proficiently, and knowing how to maintain luxury goods. "The company's staff said in the video that the housekeeping aunts in the company have academic qualifications ranging from junior high school to doctoral degree. However, there are very few aunts with master's and doctoral degree, because "people with high education generally do not choose to do the housekeeping industry."

, Mr. Zuo, a manager of a housekeeping company in Zhengzhou, forwarded the job search information of "aunts" who had received controversy this time on Xiaohongshu, saying that his company would also recruit such "aunts". Mr. Zuo told the Hongxing News reporter that in fact, compared with academic qualifications, professions such as confinement nanny, nanny, nanny, cleaning, etc., the experience, service attitude and reputation of practitioners are more important than those of professions. Some young people who have just entered the industry, even if they have a high degree of education, The salary may not be as good as some aunts who graduated from high school but have rich work experience.
Mr. Zuo believes that the housekeeping company posts such high-education returnee "aunts" for the purpose of "promotion". Young "aunts" with such resumes usually do not work as nanny, but will take some tutoring orders. There are also some highly educated housekeeping personnel engaged in "advanced early education". "Parents are willing to invest in children's education. "Mr. Zuo said.
Several internal recruitment information displayed by Mr. Zuo to the reporter showed that for housework aunts, employers will mostly make requirements in terms of experience and qualifications, and for education, they only require high school or above. For tutors, they require undergraduate or above, or graduate from prestigious schools.
Mr. Wang, a staff member of a housekeeping company in Shaanxi, told the Red Star News reporter that he had worked as a physics teacher in a teaching and training institution for many years. "Double reduction" After the policy was implemented, the training institution he worked in closed down, and he and his colleagues tried various ways to re-employ.
Mr. Wang admitted that at the beginning, they also tried to sell dog meat with sheep's head, and opened classes in the name of extracurricular interest tutoring classes such as calligraphy. In fact, the tutoring of subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, and foreign affairs was still carried out. However, this "try" lasted only one or two months, and it was stopped due to investigation and punishment by relevant departments.
So, Mr. Wang and his colleagues Decided to find another way out. Since most of the previous customers were junior high school students, they planned to open sports training courses for high school entrance examinations to conduct long-distance running and ball training for students. However, after market research, they found that the demand for such courses was concentrated in the first three or four months of the exam, which could not support the continuous operation of the training institutions. Later, they wanted to combine sports training for high school entrance examinations with indoor golf training for young people, but due to insufficient funds, they had to give up.
In the end, Mr. Wang decided to join the housekeeping business Industry. Mr. Wang said that when reemployment is available, we must choose an industry that conforms to national policies. He feels that the domestic affairs industry has a long history and still has room for sustainable development. He is determined to make a world in the domestic affairs field with his colleagues.
Mr. Wang told reporters that according to his observations, housekeeping companies in some big cities also do tutoring business under the name of nanny aunt and play "border ball". "Although it is a tutor, it is not written about a certain teacher, but a certain aunt. "Some tutoring institutions attract customers by relying on the housekeeping platform.
In 2021, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Interpretations on Further Reducing the Homework Burden of Students in Compulsory Education and Off-campus Training Burden ". The "Opinions" stipulate that "adhere to strict governance and comprehensively standardize off-campus training behavior." "National localities will no longer approve new subject-based off-campus training institutions for students in compulsory education stage, and existing subject-based training institutions are uniformly registered as non-profit institutions." "It is strictly prohibited to exceed the standard and advance training, non-discipline training institutions are strictly prohibited to engage in subject-based training, and it is strictly prohibited to provide overseas education courses. In accordance with the law and regulations, outstanding problems such as training beyond the scope, uneven quality of training, vulgar and illegal content, and piracy infringement." etc.
According to China News Network , in September 2021, the Ministry of Education held a briefing, requiring strengthening liaison and coordination with relevant departments, coordinate the use of various methods, and increasing the investigation and punishment of invisible and mutated violations such as "one-on-one", "high-end tutoring", "crowdfunding private tutoring", and "residential tutoring".
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, told Red Star News reporters that the "tutoring" who engages in subject-based extracurricular tutoring in the name of "housekeeping aunt" violates the "double reduction" policy provisions. However, one-to-one private tutoring is usually highly concealed and difficult to implement supervision. Chu Zhaohui pointed out that based on the actual situation understood by various places, the market demand for off-campus training still exists. To implement the "double reduction" policy and truly reduce the academic burden of primary and secondary school students, in addition to supervising "education and training" institutions, we also need to focus on improving quality and efficiency, achieving balance, improving evaluation, and working together for the whole society to reduce the demand for off-campus training from the source.
The reporter then called the complaint hotline of the Market Supervision Bureau where the above-mentioned tutor merchant is located as a citizen. The wirer said that screenshots of relevant web pages can be uploaded through the reporting link, and staff from the Education Bureau or the Market Supervision Bureau will intervene in the investigation and make a handling based on the actual situation.
