Learning through Living Together – LoPair Au Pair China

Having completed my 6 month program in Hangzhou, I can say with certainty that I have no regrets about my decision to participate in this program and I am so grateful for this experience. From the beginning, Lopair supported me and eased any of my worries, they made the application process very streamlined and matched me with a wonderful family! I have experienced things in China that I would never have been able to alone, and I really felt like I could integrate into life here. Despite the initial culture shock, I was lucky to have a good support system here, through the agency, my host family and close friends I made through the program. Even when there were hardships, I was never made to feel like I made the wrong choice coming here, and I feel that, above all else, I have grown so incredibly much as a person thanks to my time here! I couldn't recommend it enough, especially to others who may have been like me, finishing high school without a clear sense of direction and wanting a new environment. There is no better way to truly observe Chinese life than by becoming a part of a family, and Lopair facilitates that so well. As the days before my departure tick down, I am sure that I will work with Lopair again to come back to China, and I would recommend this agency without reservation.

AuPair in Beijing I have only been in the program for not even 2 months, but I am really enjoying it. The LoPair stuff is really kind and helpful. If you have any issues or questions, they are always there for you and try their best to help you. In addition, the organization plans monthly meetups with other AuPairs in your city, which are very fun. Some examples of those meetups, which I attended are a photoshoot in traditional clothing and doing pottery. It is not only fun to do those activities, but also learn more about the culture and are able to exchange your experiences with other AuPairs and make contacts. Another great point is the language course. You get to learn more about the language and culture and meet new people with similar interests. And it is very helpful to improve your Chinese to understand the culture better and to navigate through daily life. Lastly staying with a hostfamily is also a great experience, although it can come with some challenges. It gives you the insight of the local life in China and they accompany you on your journey. You get to eat a lot of local dishes, learn about the culture like Chinese new year and get to learn how things can be different in other cultures. You can also travel with your hostfamily. Mine for example took me to Hangzhou and Anji for Chinese New year. But also know, that language barriers and cultural difference are also part of the experience and one can struggle a bit. Just be sure to be open and accept the differences, try to communicate and learn. But don't worry, the company will even help you with that. Overall LoPair will give you a great service and always tries their best to help you.

I am a 19 year old French girl who arrived in Beijing in November 2025. I had a first experience with a family which I thought was perfect for me but turned out that I was not the person for them. Lopair found me a new family really quickly and now it is going really really good. I thank them so much for their reactivity and I see this family change as a positive and great thing. It doesn’t have to be perfect right away!! Right now it’s going so good with the children, I love them like my own. I absolutely love my Mandarin classes : I’ve made good friends from all across the world and I’m so happy about it. We learn very fast and my curiosity keeps growing bigger and bigger everyday about this language. The teachers are really nice, such as all the school staff in general. I’m really glad I’m getting more and more autonomous, I know it will help me for the rest of my life. Of course, at some point my family and my habits are starting to be missing a little but I think about the great holiday I’m going to take next month ;) Thank you Lopair for this crazy enriching experience !!! 谢谢 ！
