Housework is a very important profession in modern society. In urban areas, the demand for skilled housework is high, but the quality of the labor force is low, resulting in a shortage of labor. The scope of the report is the women who work as a maid in Binh Tan District. This is a suburban district where many young couples choose to settle and they have a high need for helpers. The maid is also "liberated" when they participate in the job to earn their income. The research team is interested in two groups of female maids who currently live and work in two different spaces (apartment buildings and residential area). With qualitative research methods, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with 15 female assistants in Hai Thanh apartment building and residential in Binh Tri Dong B ward, Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh city. Each interviewee was approached by the authors at least twice with the observation method. The authors obtained the results of the self-help of the female assistants by 05 contents: resolving the conflict between housework with the owner; make income of housework; building social relationships; know and enforce labor law; planning future plans of housework.
