We provide the au pair’s service for free. Are we crazy? No. This is a win-win situation between you and the host family. Nowadays in China, many well educated, middle class families are planning to improve their children’s education, instead of emigrating, they are willing to pay for a language tutor or Au Pair from a developed country to be a brother or sister to their children and to coach them in a second language and sports or music.

The host family will have at least one person who can communicate with you in English. They are normally a middle class Chinese families, and they will provide you a comfortable living environment. At the same time, a good match for each candidate to ensure you are going to get along well, so that both parties can enjoy life.

If you like, you can take a Chinese language class that will be paid for by the host family. The classes are a minimum 4 lessons per week (for more details of your language lesson please contact us).

Our program is different from professional language education in Chinese schools. The teachers in these programs have salaries. They are university graduates with 2 years of working experience. They are native English speakers with high TOEFL scores. The average monthly disposable salary (after tax) in Beijing is between 3000 and 6000 CNY, and people have to pay for their living expenses and rent.
