Alex's Time as a Aupair

I was very fortunate to have a fun and understanding family. The host mum was very considerate and opened with my experiences in Beijing, ensuring that I was given ample opportunity to explore and do what I wanted in the city. The duty schedule with the host child was organised between myself and the host child. However, this may differ among other families. We were set up with our main necessities - our mobile phone service and our transport ticket.

Furthermore my host mum also helped me setup my bank card which allowed to me use WeChat pay which made the transition into Beijing smoother. Overall, i would definitely recommend this program to anyone who would like to explore Beijing as a City, immerse themselves in the language of Mandarin and experience being part of a contemporary yet still have the traditional style of a Chinese family.
