Global Youth: Au Pair Program in China

originally was in a different host family and mars helped me throughout the whole family and agency change and placed me in a good family and was available very quickly :) helped with even doctor appointments and gave au pair gifts

After years of wanting to visit China, I’m so thankful to Mars and Global Youth Au Pair for helping make my dream come true! They assisted me with my visa application, collected me on arrival at the airport and provided constant support during my four month stay. My host family were so kind, respectful of my privacy but always inclusive. After several au pair experiences in Europe, it was a challenge to take on a teaching role this time instead of just childcare, but a great learning experience!

My au pair journey started rocky, but when my agent matched me with a new host family in Beijing, everything changed. I spent four amazing months with a warm, loving family — mom, dad, their son Lucas, and his aunt. Lucas and I became like siblings. Through teaching him English and learning patience from him, I grew more than I ever imagined. The family made me feel at home, and I discovered not just China — but myself. On my days off, I explored, met new people, learned Chinese, and fell in love with the country’s rhythm. It’s never easy leaving home, but this experience was worth every moment. If you’re young, unsure, or just craving growth ,take the leap. You might just find a second family and a clearer version of yourself. Thank you, Global Youth Au Pairs, for changing my life. ❤️
