我很幸运，和Au Pair Ren一起，漂流了大半个中国。
I’m fortunate to have traveled across more than half of China with Au Pair Ren.
Today, I want to tell you the story of a French au pair who worked with four host families in China within less than a year.
Andrea是一个我家找的第一个互惠生，我很幸运遇到这么好的一个姑娘，而且我把她留在了中国。
Andrea was the first au pair our family had. I was lucky to meet such a wonderful girl—and I even managed to keep her in China.
梅丽莎来自德国，来华做互惠生之前是在读大学二年级，他在大学选修了中文，面试的时候我看到他卧室里面挂了个横幅“天道酬勤”，我就知道这个女孩稳了，这么喜欢中文，英语又很流利，肯定能匹配个彼此喜欢的家庭。Melissa came from Germany. Before coming to China as an au pair, she was a sophomore in university, where she had chosen Chinese as an elective. During the interview, I saw a banner in her bedroom that read “Tiān dào chóu qín” (Hard Work Pays Off), and I knew this girl was a perfect fit. With such a passion for Chinese and fluent English, she was sure to match with a host family that adored her.
电影里的“互惠生交流中心”，现实中真的存在！
还记得电影《洋妞到我家》里那个把中式幽默、哥伦比亚热情和鸡娃家庭日常搅在一起、制造出一连串笑料的“互惠生交流中心”吗？
它就是我们——仁互惠 AuPair Ren！
The “au pair exchange center” in the movies actually exists in real life!
Remember the “au pair exchange center” in the movie My New Sassy Maid that mixed Chinese humor, Colombian enthusiasm, and the daily life of a “tiger parenting” family, creating a series of hilarious moments?
That’s us — AuPair Ren!
Good communication is the cornerstone of a successful au pair arrangement. Be proactive in explaining your expectations regarding duties and schedules, and invite your au pair to share their thoughts. For example, one host mom admitted she was unhappy with certain things but stayed “friendly” and never told the au pair, so the au pair assumed “everything was fine” (Confused First Time Host Family : r/Aupairs). The lesson: don’t bottle up issues—schedule regular check-ins to talk. A weekly chat to ask how your au pair is adjusting and to offer feedback or praise can work well.
It is an exciting and meaningful journey to become an au pair in China. Along with the excitement, however, you may experience some emotional ups and downs. In psychology, there is a concept known as the Cultural Adjustment Curve (文化适应曲线)
第一次做了半年回去，P觉得没做够就又申请来华了。
“回去了我在梦里面一直回中国，我猜再来半年，就好了，是梦把我带到中国。”P很搞笑“或者说，这是我的中国梦。”
The first time, after staying for half a year and going back, P felt that it wasn’t enough and applied to come to China again.
“I kept dreaming about China after I went back. I guess if I come for another half a year, it will be fine. It’s the dream that brings me to China.” P is very humorous. “Or rather, this is my Chinese dream.”
