My experience of being an au pair

I have been an AU Pair in a Shanghai family for 6 months. I started to seek a Japanese family from Nov of 2013, then I noticed that the Japanese people are kind of conservative and are not willing to host a FOREIGN AU Pair, so I choose the country of China in stead since I learned Japan just heritaged the culture and art from China. (Which I choose to believe in)
I applied the tofriend Shanghai program online. It didn't take long to get myself a family and then I flew directly to Shanghai. I have to say the family was great, and we were quite getting along well when I stayed there. But as a reference, there also have a chance you meet a family with the unpleasant journey. (You may notice as an au pair if you failed to make a change of host family you may need to afford your own trip back home) So I deem myself as lucky. I still keep texting with the family on we chat even I left them for 7 months. I knew they plan to visit me this october, that is amazing!
