Hello!
Ni Hao!

I'm Jessie, the founder of Ayi. ​

​

Ayi began in Shanghai, where I was raising my family and working full-time. Like so many parents, I was doing two shifts — one at work in the office and the unpaid one at home. 

 

Then I hired my Ayi — a trusted, caring woman who made our home run smoothly so I could actually enjoy it. It changed everything. I could actually sit down and focus on the kids (and even myself once in a while!) while the dinner she left for us reheated in a clean kitchen. It was bliss. 

 

When I moved back to the UK, I searched for that same support — but it didn’t exist. Housekeeping here was for the privileged few, not the many who need it most.

 

So I built Ayi — modern housekeeping for modern families. Warm, reliable, human. Help that brings calm back home.

Giving you more time to focus on the things that matter the most.
