The world has become so global in the last several years that it has
become increasingly important to expose our children to other cultures
and languages. Children who grow up understanding other cultures and
who can communicate with people of other countries have so much more the
advantage as they grow up and go into the real world to begin their
careers.
China has become a huge global economic
leader. More and more we will see the need for people who speak
Mandarin to be our business leaders, teachers, doctors, etc. There will
also be a need for people who understand the Chinese culture and way of
life. Without an understanding of the people you are working with,
there can be misunderstandings and barriers. A simple high school or
college course is great, but what if your children could grow up with
the language and culture right in their homes? That is an advantage
that cannot be replicated in any other way.
Also, with so many families adopting little girls from China, it's no
wonder that so many people are looking for a childcare provider that not
only speaks Mandarin or Cantonese but can share the beautiful Chinese
culture with their family in the process.
As people become
aware of the advantages of finding childcare providers who can teach
their children the Chinese culture and language, Go Au Pair is seeing a
huge increase in demand for Chinese au pairs.
They
have a large pool of applicants to choose from--many of which are
infant qualified and/or have driver's licenses. The average age for a
Chinese au pair right now is 24, so you also get someone who is mature
and ready for a cultural experience themselves.
Since
there is such a great demand for Chinese au pairs, Go Au Pair has
selected China to be the Featured Country for the month of April.
Families who match with an au pair this month will receive $100 off
their program fees. The embassy appointments are usually about 2 days
out, so there is not a long wait time, which means people looking for
someone to start before summer have plenty of time to select the au pair
that best fits their families needs.
