“To see something completely different and to face new challenges for me a year abroad is the best option. Because I really enjoy spending time with children I decided to do the Au-Pair program. I like to see how children see the world, how imaginative they are and how they develop. Moreover, I assume that I can improve my language skills easily while working with children because kids are mostly helpful and patient with you. Furthermore, you get to know a different way of living together and it allows you to explore a new culture and country."
