With the development of the housekeeping industry, the market can be subdivided into helper-type family services, intelligent family services and housekeeping-type family services. The housekeeping service is more advanced than the home service.

Most of the reasons why babysitters use fake IDs are:

I want to conceal my true age and worry that I cannot find a job because I am too old;

The current nanny market is a malformed star

In February 2012, the Beijing Municipal Government reported to the Minister of Commerce that there were 2,451 domestic management companies registered in Beijing.

From the statistics from Beijing Housekeeping Association, we can see the rapid rise of the housekeeping industry: there were only more than 10 Beijing housekeeping service companies in the 1980s, and there are currently more than 1,000 registered households, of which about 500. Zhang Xianmin of Beijing 38th Service Center estimates that there are about 150,000 nanny in Beijing.

However, the domestic service industry has not absorbed more than 5 million jobs. Zhang Xianmin said: "In the Spring Festival, the news of the shortage of babysitters in big cities was skyrocketing, which was only a manifestation of the contradictions. Babysitters ^{[2] were} usually lacking and the domestic market was always hungry.

From the fifth day to the present, Beijing 38 service center has recruited more than 10 batches of babysitters from outside, about 800 people, all of them are new waiters, and soon found a job. "What makes the housekeeping company anxious is that," Zhang Xianmin said, "The number and quality of nanny demand for urban users has skyrocketed, but the number of nanny can't come up, and the quality of nanny can't meet the requirements."

Due to the small number of available nanny and the demand of users, the quality of nanny has further decreased. Beijing stipulates that junior high school education level is required for domestic service. But this cannot be done at all, and illiteracy can be picked up by users.

On the one hand, there are many people who cannot find work, and on the other hand, there is no one in the housekeeping industry who needs people. Who will build the bridge between the job seeker and the housekeeping position?

Zhang Xianmin suggested that in the face of the general trend of migrant workers moving to cities, it is necessary for government departments to come forward and establish a network of urban and rural household information channels; the government must also organize farmers to undergo an orderly flow to urban units after training.

"Society must provide a relaxed employment environment for the domestic industry." Zhang Xianmin said, "As the socialization of labor becomes more and more detailed, the domestic industry will become more and more prosperous. Nanny is rising as a type of occupation. It is honorable to be a nanny "He called for public opinion to properly publicize and guide the domestic service industry, so that the whole society respects the profession of nanny. At the end of 2003, the 38 service center evaluated 600 outstanding domestic helpers. The company held a meeting and issued prizes and certificates. The nanny was very proud.
