I absolutely recommend this program!

The company itself is great. The host families, however, are not always what you may expect. Some other aupairs have had issues with the families that have made their stay less than enjoyable. Do not expect to be able to save money during this program as the monthly allowance barely covers the full month. While this does greatly depend upon your spending habbits, if you do activites with other aupairs mutiple times a week it is not likely that you will have money left over at the end of the month. I have found the company to be extremely helpfull in any issue that I have had. Though this program is technically free, I would still like to see an increase in the monthly allowance. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone wanting to travel to China and have a chance to learn Mandarin! I also would like to advise that you do not immediately agree to a long term contract. Instead, you should choose the short term stay, due to the fact that you can always extend your stay once here.
