Our Former au pair She is our Second Au Pair in America. She joined our family last December. She is very confident and responsible and has formed a very strong relationship with my son who rely on her for their care, but also fun and companionship. We have tried to provide her with many freedoms and amenities to make her stay with us comfortable, help her make friends and stay connected with her family at home as well as give her access to see as much of our city and country as possible during her year in America. She was very curious and eager to experience life in America and become part of the family and I think she has taken full advantage of her opportunity to do that.
What do we enjoy about having an au pair?
We loved having an au pair because of the flexibility and intimacy it offers compared to babysitters and nannies. My job sometimes requires me and sometimes i Work in the evenings and Mainly As a Nurse I'm always on a NIGHT Shift... I like the fact that there is someone other than myself and who know my son so well as individuals and is familiar with the rhythm of the family. Also, we love learning first hand about other countries and cultures as well as sharing our own country and culture with someone new. I believe we learn more about ourselves and our culture by seeing it through the lens of someone unfamiliar with it.
( we Have some special stories that you’d like to share to our New Au pair )
We have really appreciated and enjoyed an opportunity to have our au pairs travel with us. All 3 have been able to go with us to Paris and Las Vegas. I have just loved watching how they react to LasVegas which is a truly unimaginable spectacle for people from other countries..
