Chinese Au Pairs
|
China is the most populated country in the world with over
1.3 billion people as of July, 2009. The growing population
offers a variety of ways to gain
child care experience. Most
of our Chinese Au Pairs have worked or volunteered as tutors
for younger children. Nearly all of our Au Pairs from China
are qualified to work with infants based
 on
their daycare and babysitting experience.
English is now a compulsory subject in Chinese primary and
secondary schools. Fluency in English is a highly prized
skill in the Chinese job market and that is one of the
reason Chinese Au Pairs choose to come to the U.S. instead
of other countries.
Education is very important in Chinese culture and new steps
have been taken to increase opportunities for higher
education. All of the Au Pairs from China currently placed
in the U.S. were either enrolled in college or already held
a degree prior to their arrival. The education component of
the Au Pair program is often appealing to our Chinese Au
Pairs.

pretty compatible. She was very courteous and enjoyed eating
similar types of food as well."
What cultural differences did you encounter?
"I didn't find any major differences that caused any
problems. We were both very respectful of each other's
culture."
Would you ever choose another Au Pair from China?

our relationship and loves our children, I think we would
get along just fine." |
