Au pair in China is increasingly popular. Demand comes from urban families seeking daily English exposure for their children and from students or graduates who want affordable immersion in Mandarin and Chinese culture. What sets China apart from classic au pair destinations is the focus on English tutoring rather than housework, the intensity of children’s study schedules, and the big-city lifestyle—high-rises, fast transport, and family-centred routines. The appeal is strong for learners of Mandarin and those curious about contemporary Chinese life, though interest can fluctuate with visa rules and education policies.
