[quote=APAULT,408585]From a western perspective, a person thinking of becoming an au pair should not pay anything at all.  It is totally against most law in western countries, so the young people are not likely to apply.  From a Chinese perspective, westerners who seek jobs in China are not asked for any fees, so why for being an au pair?

I strongly advise potential au pairs NOT to pay any money..... there are just many, many Chinese who would happily provide you with free accommodation and food and probably some some pocket money in return for helping with children and teaching them English.   As a near retirement male I have received free accommodation and food for providing a couple of hours English contact a day...and I know I could find new opportunities anywhere.

Of course, Ivyz can help with introductions etc and make it so much easier, but let your perspective hosts pay the fees.  And still, good luck Ivy.... just don't ask for money from the young foreigners, get the Chinese parents to pay...those who seek au pairs can afford it!![/quote]
