6 months as an au pair in Shanghai

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
After my 6 months in Shanghai, I understand that the most important point for your stay to go well is communication. This is very important, because you are in a country that is not yours and certainly it can be scary at first and you can have a lot of questions and apprehensions, which is quite normal, but the agency is there to guide you and help you with the slightest problem.

And if you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to talk about it with the family and the agency, don't keep your problems and doubts to yourself. You will never be alone, there will always be someone to help you, whether it is the agency, your family or the other au pairs you meet at school or during activities. So don't forget the communication during your stay and everything will go well, you would just have to enjoy :)
Pros
  • A total immersion in Chinese culture
  • Learning Mandarin quickly
  • Meet new people
Cons
  • Children can be complicated, but it gets better with time
  • Have a culture shock, which is normal, don't worry
