What our au pairs say

“I learned how to be a big sister and second mom. I now have two homes in two different countries.

What did I gain from my au pair year? I became more independent. I learned personal skills: how to be more patient, how to communicate. I learned how to adapt to different situations. I learned about new cultures, new religions. I gained a family.”

– Charity, au pair from South Africa

“I am proud of the person I have become.

Because of my au pair year, I am more self-confident, open-minded and have learned how to face challenging and unpredictable situations. I am proud of the person I have become and I am sure that my acquired skills will be helpful for my future aspirations, be they personal or professional.”

– Bianca, au pair from Italy
