Program Reviews

If you want to be an aupair in China, just avoid this agency for your security.

The experience to be an aupair was at first a nightmare... I was mistreated physically, and mentally by my first host family. When i informed the agency, they clearly said it was normal for them and they will not change anything. Let me pay everything by myself whereas i win only 2000rmb per month?

Hopefully some girls who was fired, succeeded to help me. I change my family but it was clearly not thanks to the agency.

They prefer defend horrible host family to get their money, and don't care about their aupair rights.

Whereas we are in a new country that we don't even know. We are very young some are only 18.

So many story about aupairs sleeping outside because the agency don't know how to settle a rematch, or just let them being kick out from their family.

Some aupairs just letting by themselves alone to go in an another city by train ? everything is in chinese, its really difficult for aupairs just arrived.

If you complain about something they will make a pressure on you and try to don't give you the stipend money, even if you finish your contract :)

.... So many stories i am not even able to tell everything just run away.

I've only been here for two months, but I can say that I've been too many places in two months, both with my host family and by myself. It was a dream for me to be in China since I was a child and this program was an incentive for me to come to China and discover China. Thank you very much and I suggest everyone who likes China to apply for this program because this is a good way to discover China.I also want to talk about the Chinese teacher, very kind, I can say that she was not just a teacher for me, but also a friend. It was also interesting for me that people were very kind on the street, when I was walking they made comments to me and said that I am very beautiful and also that my Chinese speaking is very good.I don't think this was a funny moment but at the same time we were laughing,but there were very interesting and beautiful moments when I was walking on the street, everyone told me that my nose and eyes were big and that I was very beautiful, and I was happy with every word. The program was very interesting on my free days and by myself I visited interesting places together with the host family, I discovered Beijing, which aroused great and beautiful interest in me and my love for China grew even more. Thanks to this program, I came to China, which was my dream. And I think I will try to come to China again with this program in the future

Wanderlust has been super helpful along the whole way of my program! They always reply to messages super fast! Definitely a great experience I think anyone would enjoy! I got to see so many amazing sights and try so many amazing foods. Definitely an experience I will never forget! I think one of my favorite parts of the program is getting to truly bond with the kids and have a family like relationship with them. I would recommend this program to anyone who has ever been curious as to what Chinese culture is all about.

My overall personal experience with the au pair program has been nothing short of amazing! The company did well in getting me in contact with families, choosing a family, figuring out how to get my visa, and setting up my stay with the necessary items and information needed to be successful. Any time I needed help, the company was right there to do so every step of the way. Thankfully, I was lucky to get a family I work extremely well with, so everything has been nothing short of fun! I would do this again in the future for sure.

My experience with wanderlust has been an overall positive one. Communication is very efficient and they are reachable at all hours of the day, which was very reassuring.
I never had any issues with my host family but I felt confident they would respond quickly if I did.
The main communication I had with them was before I arrived in china - arranging the family. And as I was about to leave - arranging the stipend.
The school they arranged was very good, I only wished I received more information before I arrived. I was only told the location and the schedule a week into living in china.
Again my experience was positive but this was down to my host family being so accommodating. I would defiantly recommend taking time to find the right family for your lifestyle.

Wanderlust Exchange's au pair program was not an easy experience, but the most difficult part has to be going back to my home country! It has been so incredible going to China for the first time, making so many new friends, and learning so many new things. It's not easy learning to live together with a host family and, with limited experience like I had, learning to teach children. Ultimately, though, my time with the program has been truly invaluable, and all I can think about is when I'll be able to go back again. The incredible people at Wanderlust Exchange also made me feel supported the entire time I was there. In particular, when I was facing some health issues, I was so grateful to the team that stayed up late to assist me in arranging a visit to the doctor. This program was so fun, so safe, and really helped me grow and improve so many skills.

Hello, I'm Silvia. I did the Au Pair program with Wanderlust in Shanghai for 3 months. I recommend this program for college or university students as it's a good way to experience and learn about a new country, language and culture. The company is also extremely helpful when you need something! This is my second time doing an Au Pair program here in China and I really enjoy visiting. As a college student who enjoys traveling and learning languages and cultures, I think this is an experience that you'll remember.

Thank you,

Silvia,

I spent one year in Beijing. When I first came to China, I did not know what to expect. I heard a lot of things, and had a lot of expectations but when I came to China I found it to be quite a comfortable experience. The company and the family were both extremely supportive towards me and made my experience totally worth it. I learned a lot and made many long lasting friendships. Overall a great experience. One that opened many new opportunities for me in the future. I will definitely come back to china.

Wanderlust Exchange has been a lifeline during my time as a homestay teacher in China. The program's cultural immersion, language support, and travel assistance were invaluable. As I prepare to return home, their logistical aid and emotional support have made the transition smooth and comforting. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making my experience in China truly memorable.
I won good friends and beautiful memories so I'm happy because I had the chance to come.
For me I don't want to say goodbye Because i will come in the future for sure

Living in Shenzhen and sharing a household with Nadya’s family has truly been the best decision of my life—and I’ve made dozens of significant choices before this. Nadya and her family are incredibly sweet, understanding, and flexible, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made my stay unforgettable.

The children were absolutely delightful, and I know I will miss the oldest daughter for the rest of my days. We've journeyed to over 10 incredible locations, delving into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and savoring a myriad of delicious cuisines. These past two months have felt like living a dream, with each day offering new adventures and unforgettable experiences.

I am deeply thankful for this amazing opportunity and the wonderful memories we created together. This experience has truly been life-changing, and I will cherish it forever.
