i want to be an au pair in china for a year.

Question

I want to be an au pair in China for a year. I have a Chinese family that want me to come over, and I've sorted out insurance/ flight costs/ etc, but I dont really know if that counts as work in a traditional sense. I'm being paid pocket money really, and even though I'm a native English speaker, I've not been to Uni yet (this is my Gap year project!) so I'm not a specialist yet... Do I go on a tourist visa, or a work Z, and how would I justify my choice if I'm questioned by an authority?

That is to say, you want to stay in China for a year as an au pair worker, right? If yes, the Tourist (L) visa is not applicable. you may need to apply for a work visa instead.
