It was very easy and very fast. I have found a new Au Pair within 12 hours and she is the perfect fit for us. I would definitely do it again.

My year as an au pair in Peru, I knew for a long time that I would like to go abroad after graduating from high school. That's why I decided to work as an au pair for a year, because I think that when you go abroad as an au pair, you don't get to know a country "from the outside" like a tourist, but rather you get the chance to fully immerse yourself in it immerse yourself in the other culture. And that's exactly what I was finally able to experience in Peru. My host family is very nice, friendly and funny. I felt right at home. They were always keen for me to see and experience as much of Peru as possible. I was lucky enough to live with a host family that travels a lot, also for work reasons. So I not only got to know Lima, but also spent a lot of time in Cusco, Ica, Palpa and other cities. Now my year is almost over and I'm afraid of the day when I have to leave my new family and go back to my old life in Germany. If you're not sure yet whether you want to do an au pair year or not, I'll just say: do it! It's such a beautiful experience and opportunity. And there is nothing better than spending time with children and maybe even learning a new language at the same time.

A lot of inquiries and a nice au pair found in a short time. Great.

Many au pairs don't know the requirements for being an au pair in Germany. Also a lot of especially philipino girls think they can support their families with the pocket money they will get, however Germany is expensive and the pocket money will be just enough for them to do a thing here or there. When i became an au pair back then, i put a lot of effort in my profile and my response, most of the girls have not even read the letter by the questions they were asking. Just about the kids, not even specifics. The positives are that there is a great variety of girls, characters, countries! It was hard at the end to choose. We are positive that we made the right choice! I was generally happy with the way the page works. Thank you for your page, we will make use of it again!
