Au Pair in China

More about the program

Are you curious about the East and fascinated by its people and languages? We have an opportunity for you! Come spend three months in China, living as an au pair with a Chinese host family!

Many Chinese host families are looking for au pairs who can tutor their children in the English language. If you are a native speaker or highly proficient in English and can teach children languages, then look no further! You can have a cultural exchange experience living with a Chinese host family for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months! Imagine learning Mandarin, expanding your vision, and experiencing its culture firsthand!

This is an opportunity of a lifetime! Most hosts are from big cities, like Shanghai or Beijing. However, we also have host families who are from populated cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, etc.
