9 months in Beijing

I strongly recommend LoPair for an experience as an au pair in China! The staff has always been helpful whenever i had questions, and they were extremely supportive throughout my experience. Not only is this an amazing opportunity to learn more about the culture, history and traditions of the country, but it’s also an excellent way to learn Chinese and make new friends. Every month the staff will also plan a cultural activity for all au pairs, giving us the chance to try different crafts and meet up together.

Exhilarating New Experiences

One thing I appreciate about this program is that you are able to focus on just living. Before taking the leap, I constantly made decisions around bills and working. For the time I have been here, I have met amazing people that have changed the course of my life and learned from teachers who taught me lessons beyond just Chinese. I am not saying that your experience will always be easy, but the plot is well worth it.

Perfect Balance: Work, Study, and Travel with LoPair

If you’re looking for a safe way to travel while earning some money, I think being an au pair is one of the best options. You get a great homestay, your meals are covered, and there’s a good balance between duty hours and free time. With LoPair in particular, you also have the chance to seriously study Chinese at one of China’s most popular universities, especially if you’re placed in Shanghai. It is an such an amazing opportunity for both personal and even professional growth. Shoutout to Alison and Erica, who have always supported us whenever we faced any kind of issue, from visa problems to host family situations.
