Message to the host family
“I’ve known for quite some time that I wanted to take a gap year after finishing my studies. While exploring my options, I quickly realized that I prefer the idea of staying in one place for an extended period rather than moving to a new environment every few week to truly experience living abroad, rather than just traveling for a long time. I also wanted to immerse myself in the local culture and, hopefully, find a second home away from home. Many people I asked for advise suggested that an Au Pair program would be perfect for me, especially since I enjoy working with kids, so I decided to give it a try.”
