Hourly maid service, salary up to 100,000 VND/hour near Tet
During the Tet holiday, people's demand for house cleaning increases. This is also the time when hourly maid services 'make money', especially in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Demand for hourly housekeeping jobs in Hanoi
Vietnam is a big market for domestic help, while there is a lot of idle human resources. From an insider's perspective, the domestic help market in Vietnam is still quite new and not as professional as Singapore or the Philippines.
On the occasion of Tet, hourly housekeeping service has become a "savior" for many busy young families.
The main reason comes from the fast-paced lifestyle of young couples, who spend most of their time working and cannot arrange to take care of the house. Not only cleaning and cooking, this service also extends to the field of childcare, elderly care, and even support at companies, schools or hotels.
The market potential is also shown by the fact that more and more investors are jumping in to provide mobile application software for renters to book services such as Viecnha.vn, Taske.me, JupViec.vn (received capital from Japanese Investment Fund - CyberAgent Ventures)...

Careful, meticulous and not petty
Despite its great potential, the hourly maid market still faces many barriers. Families often have difficulty finding reliable, skilled personnel.
On the other hand, workers also struggle with accessing transparent job information. Figures from Muaban.net show that in the first 6 months of 2024, the number of job seekers increased by 20%, but only 60% met the requirements.
Lack of experience, communication skills, or ability to handle situations has caused many people to miss opportunities.
80,000-100,000 VND/hour weekdays, 10% increase on weekends
Attractive salaries are a big incentive to attract workers. On weekdays, each working hour is paid from 80,000 to 100,000 VND, depending on the area. On weekends, prices increase by 10%, and during Tet or holidays, they can increase by up to 50%.
Ms. Y., a long-time domestic worker, shared: "Thanks to a fixed relationship on weekends, I earn about 20 million VND per month. Especially near Tet, if I take 3 shifts/day, my income can be up to 30-40 million VND."
Ms. LTT's story (more than 10 years of experience) further confirms this: "The closer to Tet, the more the need for cleaning doubles. If you work hard, your income will be very good."
To avoid risks such as broken furniture or theft, families who have to book a maid service through an application should choose reputable companies and service brokerage centers and be careful with information about services posted online.
In particular, before hiring, it is necessary to make a clear contract and check the ID of the person receiving the job. Absolutely do not pay 100% of the agreed amount if the worker completes the job on time.
