Families looking to hire an Au Pair want to expose their children to the English language as well as widen their cultural education. You will work with OM-Au Pair prior to departure to ensure that you are matched with a suitable family. There are 3 different program lengths to choose from; three months or six months or more. You can also extend your stay up to 12 months once you are in China and loving it!  One of the great things about being an Au Pair is the variety of responsibilities it offers. Each host family is unique and has their own schedules, traditions and hobbies - no Au Pair experience would be exactly the same. OM-Au Pair will strive to match you with your host family based on shared interests and expectations as part of your individual service.

Wherever you're located, your local coordinator will create social opportunities so you can meet other Au Pairs. Your assigned coordinator will ensure that you make friends with others in your area, so you always have groups to hang out with in the local coffee shop! There will also be organized trips to see the local sites and explore the wonders China has to offer. You will be going through your arrival orientation with other Au Pairs and will spend this quality time together as you adjust to life in China. You will also be able to meet up with your new friends at your Mandarin lessons and culture courses.

You will work as an Au Pair for 25-30 hours per week, with responsibilities such as playing with children, taking them to and from school and preparing snacks for them. The main purpose of the position is to develop the English language skills, of those you are Au Pairing, through tutoring and conversation. You will be a role model for the children in your care and they will look up to you for guidance and support. As part of the Au Pair program, you will receive 4 class-hours of Mandarin classes per week stay. Having the ability to speak the worlds most widely spoken language will certainly enhance your CV for future employers and will give you a competitive edge. With additional support of a small classroom size and great teachers, your Chinese will improve at a fast rate.
