"Buying spree" for well educated housemaids

Twenty-five university graduates introduced by a domestic service company
in Beijing to work as housemaids have become the most welcomed by their
employers, although the latter have to pay at least twice the salary of
ordinary housemaids.

The domestic service company, just a small room in a far-flung suburb of
Beijing, is filled with clients to "scare buy" these university graduates
as housemaids.

"These students from colleges or universities have comparatively high
comprehensive quality. They can help us in child care and education,"
said a client.

Ordinary housemaids only undertake simple housework, while these
so-called "high-grade home assistants" mainly engage in initiatory
education of preschool kids and tutorship of primary and secondary
students. Therefore, they earn much more than those of the common run.

"We hope our employers know that as university graduates we will not
merely provide simple housework service," said one of them.

It is believed that, with strengths in knowledge and etiquette, these
well educated housemaids, most of them born of rural families, will
satisfy their employers.
