“I first came in contact with the concept au pair as a younger child when my sister thought about doing it and seeing some videos about it. Since then I always had that plan in my head to do an au pair year after finishing school. Later on I came in contact with childcare through some internship and discovered that I really like working with children and that an au pair year would be perfect for me, especially because I also like traveling, discovering new cultures and their people. I really like the idea of living with another family and getting to know their customs as well as getting to know them in general.”
