Why Au Pair in China?
We think everyone should get the chance to experience the craziness that is China at least once. But that can get very expensive, very quickly. Au Pair China is a chance to discover Chinese life from the inside, gain some tutoring experience, and have all of your expenses covered. With monthly start dates and a minimum duration of just 8 weeks, this is our most flexible program.

Your completion bonus will depend on how long you decide to au pair for, as au pairs available for longer durations are in higher demand. Obviously, timing constraints may not allow you to au pair for longer than a few months but if you have the luxury of time we highly recommend staying longer. You’ll get to know your host family better, have more opportunities to improve your Mandarin, and have more time to travel and discover China.

My favourite part is getting to meet the other Au Pairs who are all extremely friendly and interesting. With the wide variety of nationalities and languages, I find myself able to practice my French and Spanish on a regular basis while simultaneously improving my Chinese. As a language lover, it is heaven!
