Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hello!

We understand that starting a new adventure in a different country is exciting but can also feel overwhelming. We’ll be here to support you in every way possible. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and part of our family from the start.

Your role here will be essential in helping us. But more than that, we hope you’ll be a mentor, friend, and big sister to our kids. We want you to feel that you are making a difference in their lives while having the freedom to explore and grow yourself.

During your time off, we hope you’ll take advantage of excellent location, near London and the beautiful surroundings.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns at any time. We’re here to support you, whether that means helping you adjust to daily routines or being there to chat about homesickness or cultural differences.

Warmly,
