A 22-year-old Chinese student working as a chaperone in Canada discovered that his client had all kinds of strange requests.
Although modern people are busy with work, many people are lonely inside. According to internal media reports, 22-year-old Helen Li from Chengdu, Sichuan, developed a strong interest in the emerging profession of “accompanying teacher” after completing her studies in Canada. In August last year, Helen Li, who majored in psychology, entered the Chinese market in Toronto. I tried it in the social circle, saying that I could “rent out time” to accompany girls to do some “things I don’t want to do alone.” Unexpectedly, as soon as the post was posted, it was fully booked in just two weeks.
Helen has two conditions when choosing to accept an order: first, the client must be female; second, the client must be able to accurately express what kind of companionship service she needs. However, she revealed that she received a total of about 590 private messages from August last year (2023) to December, of which about 260 were about consulting services, and she actually received a total of 70 orders. “Most people who inquire about companionship services don’t know what they need me to accompany them for.”
The client’s requests are all kinds of strange
“Red Star News” reported that Helen received a variety of strange companionship requests. After working as a “accompanying teacher” for more than half a year, she has accompanied people to have surgeries, cervical examinations, clean rooms, and even accompany them to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and get wet in the rain in the park… Every time after receiving an order, Helen will Write down your feelings.
Not long after becoming a chaperone, Helen received a commission to “organize a room”. The client had a spinal injury and was unable to complete the tidying work of his new home by himself, so he hired Helen for two days to help tidy up.
Helen recalled that it only took 6 hours to actually tidy up the room. However, during the process of tidying up, she learned that the client had just broken up with his lover and accidentally injured his spine. He was at a low point in his life. While tidying up the room, he commissioned Helen was also taken to restaurants and parks where she loved to go alone, and even visited the campus where she once studied.
Helen analyzed that the clients are mainly between 25 and 35 years old. They are basically highly sensitive and please people. They are unwilling to cause trouble to the people around them. “Perhaps on the surface, they asked me to accompany them to do something. But in fact, they have great emotional needs, and I provide emotional value in the process of accompanying them.”
Helen said that the profession of chaperone also gave her a lot of nutrients and allowed her to grow rapidly. “This job brings me so much feeling of being trusted and recognized… Chaperone is a way for me to experience life. While helping others, I also receive gifts.”
