Global Youth: Au Pair Program in China

I spent 1 month in Hangzhou, China as an au pair. It was a wonderful experience and this agency and Mars helped me from the start until the end. It was a life changing experience getting to experience the life in China from the perspective of a native. Getting to teach English was a rewarding experience as it also showed me what I needed to improve on as well. I would recommend this agency as they were so lovely to me the entire time, for instance from helping me set up mobile apps to the visa application.

This Au pair was an undeniably wonderful and life-changing experience. It enabled me to greatly develop my Chinese, truly understand on a personal level the lifestyle and culture of Chinese people and get to know a whole bunch of new people and new opportunities in China. I developed such a strong and caring relationship with the family and especially the children which I will definitely cherish forever. Global Youth and their team never failed to help me when an issue arose and always did so very quickly and always with the upmost compassion and empathy.

My time with Global Youth has been incredibly transformative. Going into the program, I already had years of experience with the Chinese language, but living in China has really allowed me to be fully immersed in the culture. I’ve learned so much more than I could’ve ever learned from just a textbook. Not only that, but I’ve also grown a lot and matured as a person, as working with kids challenges you to be patient and understanding. Living with a host family gives you a look into what life in China is like, while also giving you the freedom to explore this beautiful country on your own. Mars has also been such an important part of this journey. He is always available to help when I have any questions at all, and I’ve felt supported since before I even arrived here. He even treated me and a few friends to Haidilao! The generosity and hospitality is unmatched, the memories are priceless and I would really recommend becoming an Au Pair through Global Youth.
