Being an au pair is a very safe and nice way to explore China. Living with a Chinese
family will help au pairs learn the Chinese language and culture. Host families are carefully
selected and screened. Au pair rooms are inspected, to guarantee the au pairs
live comfortably.
Because of the "one child" policy, the majority of the families only have one child. So both the
host parents and the child are eager to have a big "sister" or "brother" living with them. Also all
the families are well educated, active and enthusiastic. Some of them had been living, studying
or working abroad for several years. So they are very open minded, sociable. They welcome the
au pairs coming to their homes very much!
