Program Components

The term “Au Pair” comes from the French “on a par,” meaning “equal to.” Unlike traditional Au Pair arrangements, our program focuses on language learning and cultural exchange.Participants are not expected to do household chores for the host family or provide cleaning or domestic services. They are, however, expected to keep their own bedrooms clean and tidy as part of everyday living.Our Live-in Language & Cultural Exchange Program offers young people the opportunity to experience everyday life in China through cultural immersion, language exchange, and meaningful interaction with a Host Family, with placements available in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, and more.
As a Participant, you may attend Chinese language courses through the educational institution .You also will become part of your Host Family’s everyday life and experience Chinese family culture from the inside. Rather than taking on the role of a nanny or household worker, you are welcomed as an older sister or brother and a language and cultural exchange companion to the children.
Through everyday interaction, you can naturally share your language and culture with the children through conversations, games, music, drawing, reading, outdoor activities, sports, walks, and other shared interests. The focus is on genuine communication, cultural exchange, and building a meaningful connection with your Host Family.This provides an opportunity to improve your Chinese, discover more about Chinese culture, and make your time in China both educational and culturally meaningful.
