My life in Shenzhen

Hi! I'm really happy to write this review about my stay in China! I had a lot of fun and I also got to know a new culture. At first, I had a hard time adjusting to the new life but the host family, the agency, and the friends I met there helped me a lot so I didn't feel too alone! I was in Shenzhen and I stayed there for three months. The city is really nice and really safe I could go around the city with no worries which also helped me feel more relaxed during my stay. The most difficult part of the whole program was the teaching because at first I had to get used to the kid's routines and I also had to make the lessons fun for them so they didn't get too bored. With time I really got to love the kids and understand more of their culture and behaviors. This trip has taught me so much, mostly it taught me to be patient and kind to everyone. China is such a distant and different country from mine so at first I thought it would be really difficult for me to stay there but in the end, I felt more relaxed and calm than I thought.

What was your funniest moment?
The funniest moment for me was when I had to create a menu with the kid for his English class and we ended up covered in glue and pieces of paper all over. It was a mess to clean but I must say it was worth it.
Pros
  • I got to do a thing that I love doing which is teaching English
  • I got to know a new culture and immerse myself in the life
  • I also got to meet beautiful people that all left a trace in my heart and in my life
Cons
  • I felt homesick often as I've never left my country for so long
  • Sometimes the culture barrier created some incomprehensions and some hard times
  • Sometimes I had to fight with the kids to make do their homework but they're kids so it's normal

Yohoo Au Pair China Program Review

From the moment I arrived, Yohoo provided outstanding support, making my transition into a completely new culture smooth and enjoyable.

The host family I was matched with in Hangzhou was warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to share their culture with me. Spending time with the children was a delight—they were curious, playful, and excited to learn English. It was heartwarming to see their progress over time, and I felt like I was making a meaningful impact in their lives.

Yohoo’s monthly cultural activities were a fantastic way to bond with other au pairs and explore China’s traditions. One of my favorite moments was trying traditional Chinese calligraphy during one of these events—it gave me a deep appreciation for the country’s rich history.

The weekly Mandarin classes were another highlight, as they not only helped me communicate better with my host family but also made navigating daily life in China much easier.

Yohoo’s team was always available for guidance, whether it was helping with paperwork or simply checking in to make sure everything was going well. Their professionalism and genuine care set them apart.

I wholeheartedly recommend Yohoo Au Pair China to anyone considering an au pair experience. It’s not just about teaching and learning; it’s about building lifelong connections and growing in ways you never imagined. Thank you, Yohoo, for making this journey unforgettable! 🌟

An unforgettable au pair experience in Hangzhou

I spent one of the most amazing 6 months in my life here in China. The family was nice to me all the time and their kids are so adorable, we even travelled in China a lot. We went to a temple for some religious traditions and the westlake. We visited a bamboo and panda park, as well as an amusement park in Shanghai! The food here is also amazing and I definitely gonna miss them when I am home. Meanwhile, the agency called Yohoo provided me assistance during the whole program, which made it a pleasant and comfortable experience for me. I will definitely come again or even visit my host family in the future!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I'm having a good time at my Mandarin class and I'm glad to see some improvements in my studies.My host mother also occasionally tries to teach me things, like for example not embroidery. I'm very grateful for everything new I have learned here. And I had a Taichi experience with other au pairs in hangzhou. It was so much fun!!!

Extraordinary and heartwarming experience in Yohoo Aupair China

Embarking on an au pair program in Hangzhou, China was an enriching and transformative experience that surpassed my expectations in every way. From immersing myself in the vibrant culture to forming deep connections with the host family, every moment was filled with learning and growth.Living in Hangzhou provided me with the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The city's rich history was palpable as I explored its iconic landmarks such as the West Lake and Lingyin Temple. Each outing was an opportunity to delve deeper into Chinese customs and traditions, from savoring authentic cuisine to partaking in traditional tea ceremonies.The highlight of my experience undoubtedly revolved around my interaction with the host family. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me with open arms, treating me not just as an au pair, but as a member of their family. Through daily interactions, I not only improved my Mandarin skills but also gained valuable insights into Chinese family dynamics and values.As an au pair, my responsibilities ranged from assisting with childcare to helping the children with their English studies. These tasks not only provided me with a sense of purpose but also allowed me to bond with the children on a deeper level. Witnessing their growth and development over time was incredibly rewarding and served as a constant reminder of the impact I was making.

Beyond the confines of the host family, the au pair agent Yohoo in Hangzhou provided me with a support system like no other. With other au pair members in Hangzhou, we shared experiences, swapped cultural anecdotes, and formed friendships that transcended borders. Together, we navigated the challenges of living in a foreign country while celebrating the beauty of cultural exchange.In conclusion, my au pair experience in Hangzhou, China was nothing short of life-changing. It broadened my horizons, fostered cross-cultural understanding, and left me with memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. For anyone seeking to embark on a journey of self-discovery while making a meaningful impact, I wholeheartedly recommend the Yohoo au pair program in Hangzhou.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments during my au pair program in Hangzhou happened during a traditional Chinese cooking lesson with the host family. As we attempted to recreate a famous local dish, chaos ensued in the kitchen. Flour flew everywhere, vegetables rolled off the counter, and even the dog managed to sneak a taste of our culinary creation. Amidst the laughter and mess, we realized that our cooking skills might need some improvement, but our bond as a family was stronger than ever. It was a hilarious reminder that sometimes the best memories are made when things don't go as planned.
Pros
  • Living with a host family allows for deep immersion into Chinese culture, language, and traditions.
  • Building relationships with the host family and the local community enriches the experience and creates lifelong friendships.
  • Constant exposure to Mandarin in everyday interactions helps improve language skills significantly.
Cons
  • Being away from home and familiar surroundings can lead to feelings of loneliness or longing for loved ones.
