Au pair in China

I had a fantastic experience with my au pair agency, thanks to the incredible support from my agent Mars . He was always kind, helpful, and there whenever I needed assistance, he even helped my mother surprise me by coming to China for my birthday. From the visa application to making my travel arrangements smooth and stress-free, he guided me and supported which made the entire process so much easier, especially as it was my first time and I was super nervous I enjoyed my time so much that I decided to extend my stay, and he continued to be supportive and helpful every step of the way. He also went above and beyond by organizing dinners for the au pairs and taking us to a famous tourist attraction in Beijing. Thanks to him, I met more people, including other au pairs, which made my experience even better. I highly recommend this agency for their professionalism and kindness!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Stinky tofu was certainly one of the craziest things I’ve eaten but tasted better then it smelled definitely give it a try !!
Pros
  • Everyone is friendly
  • Affordable living
  • So much too see and experience
Cons
  • The language barrier

I had a really life changing experience with my AuPair program, it was my first time doing AuPair and I felt very secure by the agency. I could always count on my Agency if I needed anything and they also kept in touch asking about my wellbeing during my whole 6 month stay (my contact person was Mars). The agency takes into consideration your personality and interests and really makes an effort to match you with a family that shares things in common with you to make the process as smooth as possible. I learned a lot and made very meaningful relationships during my time here. I feel happy with what I’ve experienced and I’m grateful for getting to live Chinese culture in a first hand environment.
Thank you so much Global Youth for making me feel so supported and cared for !

Great experience

I had a very nice experience being an au pair with the agency.
From the start until after I stayed with the family, the agency (my contact person was Mars) contacted me frequently to ask how I was doing and if everything was alright. Apart from that, they’re also one of the few agencies I know that don’t charge the au pairs.

The contact with my host family was good, and I got to experience a lot about Chinese culture and the daily life of the family. Being in a Chinese family helps greatly with the process of learning Chinese as well, so I thank them dearly for that.

Thank you for the great experience!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I think being open and respectful of each other is a very important treat to have while doing an au pair project, both for the au pair as well as the host family. Both have a way of living, traditions and habits, and it’s important to have a balance in between, and accept the differences, since they may come from a culture different than yours.
Pros
  • Support throughout the programme
  • Great adventures in the country
  • Learning social skills, and deepening cultural knowledge

A wonderful experience

My experience with GlobalYouth exceded my expectations from the start, with a kind and patient agent who strived to help me find a family that was the best match and who ensured my safety even months after I arrived to China. Contrary to other agencies I had contact with when trying to find a family, GlobalYouth does not charge fees to the AuPairs, which I am incredibly thankful for. The family I was matched cared for me as their own child and welcomed me with open arms, giving me a wonderful experience.

Pros
  • Support from the agency on every step
  • Chance to attend Chinese language classes
  • Exploring the Chinese culture from the inside

Review ✨

In the beginning of my Au Pair Journey I was skeptical of going through an agency. However, Global Youth changed my mind. My agents name is Mars, he has had my back through it all. He is patient, honest, kind, trust worthy and so much more. He truly cares about the Au Pairs, and is so incredibly helpful. When you chose Global Youth you chose to work with him and he won’t let you down, he’s spectacular at English and will be able to answer all of your questions. He checks in on you often, and has steady communication with your host families. If you have any issues you can talk to him about it and he will no doubt assist you.

If you’re young and worried about moving abroad, chose Global Youth. You will never feel alone.

China is a beautiful city, the public transportation is quick and easy to learn, the people are generous and there’s so much to see and do! Traveling to other cities on your off days is simple and so exciting.

The agency assists with the visa application making it a very simple process.

Moving across the world can be scary, so choosing the right support is crucial. I never doubting choosing global youth, I always felt protected and heard. I can ensure you will feel the same.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I visted Shanghai and we went clubbing till 8am. Oh and in Hangzhou they have a light show at urban balcony, it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
Pros
  • Good support from agency
  • Public transport is cheap and easy
  • So much culture and traditions to learn about
Cons
  • The language barrier, but it’s fine just use google translate

Au pair experience with Global Youth

My experience as an au pair in China with the agency "Global Youth" was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I decided to embark on this journey, the agency provided unwavering support and assistance. They guided me through the process of obtaining a Chinese student visa, meticulously helped plan my trip, and facilitated detailed discussions with my host family prior to my departure.

The head of the company is a young professional with impeccable English skills, always available to answer questions and dispel any doubts, making the entire process seamless. Upon my arrival in China, my experience continued to be wonderful. My host family welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed my time with them and my Chinese language teacher immensely.

The cultural exchange was enriching, and I received a monthly salary that was appropriate for the amount of free time I had. Teaching English to the child in my host family has been a rewarding experience. Overall, my time in China has been fantastic, and the straightforward visa process, thanks to Global Youth, made everything even better.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Silkworms. It was a delicious meal!
Pros
  • Learning Chinese language and culture
  • Building life-long relationships
  • Gaining experience as an English teacher
Cons
  • Language barrier
