Job description

Imagine waking up in a Chinese home and becoming part of a local family while sharing language and culture! This unique au pair program offers you the chance to spend 3, 6, 9 or 12 months in China, living with a welcoming host family. You will teach English to the children while experiencing authentic Chinese culture firsthand and learning Mandarin along the way. Chinese host families are eager to open their doors to foreigners interested in their culture and language. 

Most host families are from big cities like Shanghai or Beijing. However, we also have host families from populous cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. Each of these cities offers a unique opportunity to experience the diversity and dynamics of urban China. Discover the rich culture, bustling markets and impressive architecture that make each city unique. 

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand your horizons, gain valuable experience and create memories that will last forever. The program includes comprehensive support before and during your stay, including visa assistance, airport pickup, orientation and monthly cultural activities. In addition, you will receive a monthly stipend and flight allowance at the end of your stay!
