While numerous au pair agencies exist all over the world that can send applicants to China to live and work, it may make more sense to find a great au pair agency in China itself.

 

There are a number of different reasons for this. First, a Chinese Au Pair agency will know families, neighborhoods of cities where clients will be living and details of the culture much better than an agency that is based in another country. Since communication is key when setting up these living situations abroad, a Chinese au pair agency will be able to help you communicate with your host family before you arrive and vice versa, making sure you are a good fit for each other before you even arrive.

 

Just think about it: having locals set up everything you need before you live for many months makes much more sense than someone else doing so from afar.
