Bella Vista Au Pair
Guided Arrivals, Genuine Belonging.
What You’ll Experience
🏡 Live with a Real Family
Not a dorm. Not a hotel.
A home — with a real Chinese family, in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and beyond.
🧠 Culture That’s Lived, Not Framed
Not a performance, not a tour.
Just life — through shared meals, quiet gestures, and daily moments that speak for themselves.
🗣️ Mandarin, Picked Up Naturally
You’ll pick it up in class.
But you’ll keep it — through conversation, habit, and the rhythm of everyday life.

Is This Program for You?
This might be for you if:
- You take initiative, and don’t wait to be told what to do
- You notice things, and help without being asked
- You’re not afraid of new cultures — especially when it gets uncomfortable
- You’re ready to face small conflicts, and handle them gently
- You don’t just want a new place — you want to adapt, engage, and grow
It might not be a fit if you expect everything to feel easy, or familiar.
Why Bella Vista?
- We work with fewer families — and stay involved long after the match
- We prioritize mutual clarity and cultural fit
- We don’t sell “adventures” — we support real people with wholehearted services About Us Contact
