China
The typical Chinese au pair will be eager to learn about the American way of life and our Western culture. Being very respectful of her host parents, she might seem shy at first, but will warm up to her new family after a few weeks of adjustment.

The typical Chinese au pair will be eager to learn about the American way of life and our Western culture. Being very respectful of her host parents, she might seem shy at first, but will warm up to her new family after a few weeks of adjustment. Many Chinese au pairs love to cook and will be happy to share the traditional Chinese cuisine with you and your children. In China, punctuality is considered a virtue - your Chinese au pair might even come a bit earlier to a scheduled appointment to show her sincerity.
In general, the modern Chinese family consists of the parents and 1 or 2 children. Family members like to live in an independent way, but enjoy spending time together, sharing thoughts or visit with other relatives of the family. Chinese people like to eat, so gatherings with friends and family are usually combined with preparing and sharing big meals.
In China, primary and secondary education takes 12 years to complete, divided into primary, junior secondary and senior secondary stages. Most of our Chinese au pairs have earned a university degree, often in teaching positions or foreign languages. Even though they might still live at home while attending university, they are used to helping in the household and preparing meals for the whole family.
Chinese au pairs often look after their neighbor’s or friend’s children as well as after their cousins or nieces and nephews. The majority is infant care qualified and can take care of children under the age of two. Education is very important, so your au pair from China is used to teaching children even at a very young age how to count, read and speak a different language.
In order to get the driver’s license in China, one needs to pass a written and a driving test after having taken driving lessons. While your Chinese au pair will have a driver’s license upon her arrival to the United States, she might not be a very experienced driver. Usually living in big cities, most young people in China do not own a car and are using public transportation to get around. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with au pairs during the interview process.
Chinese people are enthusiastic about studying foreign languages and English is the top foreign language learned in the country. Students in China start learning English as a compulsory subject in the third grade of elementary school. Your Chinese au pair might also know how to speak Japanese and/or Korean.

I would like to use this time to have a meaningful experience and the prospective of engaging in a cultural exchange while also being useful in things that appeal to me--like child care. I feel the need to constantly learn and experience new things. I feel lucky and proud of being raised in a home that values respect, tolerance, love, and honesty so I know how to use these beautiful things to take care of children. Besides that, I would like to use this opportunity to discover new things, meet new people, and be able to share my knowledge and skills in new places. My wish is to make this experience abroad a to enhance my scholar knowledge and professional experiences, and also to be able to meet and help new people, especially my host family.

***Qin would like to care for children older than 1*** I want to be an au pair because I like children very much and think staying with them is a wonderful time. I am very happy to see their smiling faces. In addition, I also want to know about American culture and to share my own country's culture. I devote myself fully into children's worlds to understand their thoughts and behavior because I am a firm believer that learning from the perspective of the children can help us better understand their real needs.

I am first aid certified. I want to become an Au Pair because I love spending time with children.. I believe that the au pair experience would have a great influence on my future life. I live alone so I am independent and capable of taking care of myself and easily dealing with the new environment. I can totally handle cultural adjustment and/or environment differences if I go abroad as an au pair. If you want to find a competent and trustworthy au pair, then I am absolutely your best choice and I would be truly grateful.

First of all, I think this is a good opportunity to grow independently. Second, I like children very much. I like to get along with children and I am willing to be a companion to them during their growth. In China, young people are under tremendous pressure and there is a very fast pace of life. I hope that I can use my own independent abilities in another country and have a completely different experience than my current lifestyle.
