"It wasn't a luxury — it was sanity."
Jessie, Founder of Ayi
When I lived in Shanghai, I had an Ayi who kept our home running so I could breathe. When I came back to London, nothing like it existed. So I built it.
Read our story →You're managing work, kids, life, and the mental load that comes with all of it. We handle the rest.
01
Surfaces clear, laundry tackled, kitchen turned around. The daily chaos, undone — so you come home to calm.
02
Meals prepped. Kitchen clean. Weekly staples stocked so you're never caught out at 6pm on a Tuesday.
03
Returns, errands, gifting, tradespeople — the never-ending "I'll do it later" list. Handled.
04
Wardrobe switchovers, holiday prep, decorations. The seasonal chaos sorted so it doesn't eat your Sunday.
Dinner prepped, kitchen clean. Living room peaceful. Laundry washed, folded, put away — the holy grail. Dog walked, fridge stocked. Parcels returned. Uniforms checked. Bake sale cookies baked.
A smooth four-step process designed to take the domestic load off you — so home feels like home again.
A quick chat to understand your home and where the load feels heaviest. No forms. No faff.
We hand-match you with a fully vetted Ayi based on fit, style, and your household's needs.
We map your rhythms and preferences. Your Ayi learns exactly how your household runs.
From food prep to laundry to life admin — your Ayi quietly handles what usually eats your time.
Not a rota of cleaners and dog walkers. Not another app. One trusted home manager who knows your household inside out.
Every Ayi hand-picked for skill, initiative, and trust.
Flexible hours that fit your family's rhythm and schedule.
Start and scale as you need. No lock-ins, no surprises.
One relationship, everything handled. Benefits that grow with you.
More calm.
More connection.
More time for what matters.

"I already outsource a lot but I still feel like the household operations manager. Ayi changed that completely."
Lyndsay · Maida Vale
"The overwhelm I used to feel walking through the door at 7pm is just... gone. I can actually be present with my kids."
Alex · North London
"Having no family in the UK, I'd forgotten what it feels like to have someone in your corner at home."
Sonja · Crouch End
"The body-doubling element and having someone I trust who just quietly gets things done — it's transformed our week."
Jayne · Highbury
I'm a single parent raising two daughters in London with no family nearby. No village. Just the full load — work, kids, home — and the mental hum of trying to hold it all together.

We all need a village. Most of us just don't have one anymore.
