Bad nannies face blacklist in Shanghai

A district of Shanghai has introduced a blacklist for nannies and housemaids who breach a new code of conduct or have a criminal record.

According to the home service industry association of Changning district, domestic workers will be banned if they provide employers with false information, such as on resumes, health records or a fake ID card.

They will also be singled out if they miss three job interviews without a suitable excuse, try to break a contract to secure a pay rise, or ask to borrow money from an employer.
