Yes, I recommend this program

my ten months in China were enriching and rewarding.

As a high school graduate from the Netherlands unsure about my future academic path, I decided to embark on a gap year in China as an au pair. After comparing various agencies online, I chose Star Exchange for its exceptional benefits for au pairs , including work hours, flight tickets, and bonuses.My experience with Star Exchange was great . They matched me with my lovely Chinese host family. From handling visa procedures to organizing training sessions, their commitment to ensuring a smooth and enriching experience is evident.
Despite initial challenges adjusting to cultural differences, such as crowded public transportation, my ten months in China were enriching and rewarding.

Great experience

I participated in the Star Exchange program and traveled to China in the summer of 2023. My journey with this program began back in 2020 when I first applied, but due to the pandemic, my plans were postponed. However, Star Exchange had already matched me with a wonderful Chinese family back in 2020. Unfortunately, by 2023, they no longer required an au pair. Upon learning this, Star Exchange promptly reached out to me and quickly found another suitable family for me.

Just like the first family, the second one welcomed me with warmth and sincerity, making me feel right at home. My ten months in China were incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable. The training provided by Star Exchange proved invaluable, making my transition to life in China seamless. I highly recommend this organization; they are reliable and truly care about their participants' experiences.
