It’s a cultural exchange where you live with a welcoming Chinese host family, help with childcare and language practice, attend Mandarin lessons, and explore China—all with 24/7 support from 99aupairs and our in-country partner.
Anyone aged 18–30, in good health, with conversational English and a love for children and new cultures.
Placements usually run for 3 to 6 months, though longer options (up to 12 months) are available.

Free accommodation and meals, Mandarin lessons, monthly cultural activities, program insurance, local support, and a completion bonus.
Help children learn English, assist with school routines, play, and share your culture. You’ll work up to 30 hours per week.
Every family is interviewed, screened, and matched to ensure safety and cultural fit.
We guide you through applications, visas, interviews, orientation, and settling in—with a local coordinator available during your stay.
You’ll need a police check, medical report, references, photos, and a completed application.
You’ll have mediation support and, if needed, a rematch option handled by our team and partner agency.

All placements include 24/7 emergency support, insurance, and pre-departure training. Host families are thoroughly screened for suitability.
You’ll take part in local excursions and workshops—from tea ceremonies to calligraphy and traditional festivals.
Most participants say they return home with greater self-confidence, global awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Absolutely. It shows resilience, adaptability, and cross-cultural communication—skills highly valued in global workplaces.
Ideally, 3 months before your intended start date to allow time for matching, documentation, and visa processing.
Yes, you’ll receive a monthly stipend/scholarship, plus accommodation, meals, and bonuses—so your main expenses are flights and visas.
Your key costs are flights, visa, and personal spending. The rest—housing, meals, classes, support—is covered by the host family and program.
We understand. All families are verified, insurance and emergency support are included, and we maintain close communication with you and your coordinator throughout.

Posted on Alice MariottiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found the process of finding and securing a host family with you very smooth and clear. You were helpful, responsive and made everything easy to understand, which was really important for me coming from Italy.Posted on Charlotte BurkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with 99 AuPairs and am lucky to have come across it online. It may not be the best known agency but definitely seems to me the most professional, competent and organised. Irene was amazing - really listening to me and my hopes for living and working in Australia, she matched me to an active family and the kids are just great. The whole process was smooth and detailed, leaving nothing to be left unanswered. Initially, I had a call with her to discuss my aspirations, then multiple calls with the family, so it felt I already somewhat knew them before arriving. I met them in person with the assistance of Irene and the team, and they remain in the contact to ensure my wellbeing and enquire about how I’m doing. Even the video calls were professional and set up well. Thanks to 99 AuPairs.Posted on Anna TilgTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The process of finding and securing a host family was very easyPosted on DanniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 99Aupairs has been a super easy process, Irene and her team are very supportive. Really happy with my experience with them!Posted on Jenny LautenfeldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional agency, I felt like they knew exactly what they were doing and how to connect you to the right family. They help you how to introduce you to the parents and are just overall very supportive. You get lots of heads up and everything gets explained. They got your best interests at heart, special thanks to Irene! She was just lovely! Nice, competent and funny, just the whole packet. I felt really safe with her and like making the right decisions. When you video chat with your host family, they are still there to eventually help you and ask questions to further connect and find solutions if there are any problems, like planning how to get to the family. So if you're considering to become an Au Pair, I can definitely recommend 99aupairs.Posted on Tamara BennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used 99 au pairs to find our first au pair to join our family of 5. We thought the biggest advantage using an agency would be finding a candidate that was appropriately vetted but honestly that was just the start! There are so many details that we hadn’t even considered that using 99 au pairs took care of effortlessly. So much care was taken facilitating us getting to know candidates, we even had personality profiling to help align our different communication styles with our new au pair. I know Irene and the team are only a phone call away when I’m not sure how to handle certain questions or scenarios. And I love knowing their advice comes from a place of supporting us but also ensuing the right conditions for their au pairs. I cannot recommend them enough, worth every cent.Posted on Carole GrausemTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to all the team, they were very reactive and friendly ☺️!Posted on Roxy CreamerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such an amazing experience with 99AuPairs! They helped me become an au pair in Melbourne, Australia, and the entire process was quick, smooth, and so well-organized. The team was incredibly efficient and supportive every step of the way, from matching me with the right family to guiding me through all the details. I always felt cared for and confident thanks to their help. I couldn’t recommend 99AuPairs enough to anyone thinking about becoming an au pair!Posted on Pia TemmenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with 99aupairs was great! Irene and her team made the process very easy and helped me find an amazing host family!Posted on Lee MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The organisation seems unprofessional. The initial consultation was booked half a month in advance. One hour before this appointment I received an email, stating that I've changed the appointment to one month later, which I did not. After emailing the support team, I was advised that they had to change the appointment, and that I was placed on the waitlist for the following month.
