What is an Ayi?
Ayi (“eye–ee”) means auntie in Chinese.
A trusted, steady person who keeps a home running.
In London, it’s something even better:
a second you.
The one who does the second shift.
The, meal prep, cleaning, laundry, errands, organising, returns, dog walks.
Big jobs. Small jobs.
The domestic & mental load you’ve been carrying.
No overwhelm. No guilt.
Just real help.
Everything your home needs
You’re already managing work, kids, life. We’ll handle the rest.
Cleaning
From scrubbing the tub to folding laundry (and putting it away!), your home will shine.
Food Prep & Grocery Runs
Meals prepped. Kitchen clean. Weekly staples stocked so you’re never caught out.
Pets
Walks, play, belly rubs.
Life Admin
Returns, errands, gifting, tradespeople, the “I’ll do it later” tasks. Whatever your errands, handled.
More calm. More connection.
More time for what matters.
Because home shouldn't be a second shift
The second shift starts when you walk through the door. But it doesn’t have to. ​
There’s the workday you’re paid for…
and then there’s everything else. ​
​Dinner, school stuff, returns, the PE kit drama, "what’s for dinner?” on repeat.​
No wonder you feel close to dropping the ball.
You don’t need another app or person to manage.
You need one person you can trust to help do it all.

"I don't know how I managed before"
Our Ayi June has become part of our family. Before we started using her, I would spend my weekends cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and grocery shopping. In the evenings coming home from work, I would rush to make dinner and dash off a quick check of the kids' homework. Now I can use that time to properly relax and spend more quality with my kids.
