6 month au pair

Early Bird is a good place to go, it's quite the experience to live with a Chinese family. Communication with the Chinese host family, especially if you can't speak Chinese, can be very difficult. Thankfully EarlyBird's staff knows Chinese and English very well, making it easy to solve problems between you and your host family. I didn't live near any EarlyBird office, so I wasn't able to participate in many of the activities they plan, but It was usually a fun experience to hang out with the other foreigners and talk about our different countries. I would actually recommend only doing 3 months to start with, because it can be really hard on some people. My host mom didn't actually read the contract and because she didn't speak English well, things happened and I ended up working everyday for at least 7-9 hours. I love my host family though, and I appreciate how much I've grown through all the hard work. Still, I think it would've been much easier to do 3 months first.
