C
One of the latest trend（趋势）in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au
Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au
pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.
“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph
Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at
least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six
months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already
understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American
husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want
her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I
wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture.” she says.
“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a
classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children. “But
parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce
wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”
The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing
numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to
learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise
in the next few years.
