Shelby (22), estadounidense, Estudiante actualmente en Estados Unidos quiere ser Au Pair en Australia, Italia & Estados Unidos

As an au pair, my experience was incredibly enriching and rewarding. Living abroad with a host family provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture, learn a new language, and develop meaningful relationships with both the family and the local community.

One of the main reasons I wanted to become an au pair abroad was my love for working with children and my desire to experience different cultures firsthand. My experience as a camp counselor and my involvement in various volunteer programs at local summer schools and overnight camps had already exposed me to the joys and challenges of working with children in diverse settings. However, becoming an au pair allowed me to deepen this experience by living with a family and being fully immersed in their daily lives.

Working as a camp counselor provided me with valuable skills in communication, leadership, and problem-solving, which were essential in my role as an au pair. Whether it was organizing activities, resolving conflicts, or simply providing emotional support, my experience at camp prepared me well for the challenges of caring for children in a different country.

Volunteering at local summer schools and overnight camps further solidified my passion for working with children and reinforced the importance of cultural exchange and global understanding. I realized that by becoming an au pair abroad, I could not only continue to pursue my passion for working with children but also gain a deeper appreciation for different cultures and perspectives.

Overall, my experience as an au pair was incredibly fulfilling, and it allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. It provided me with the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children while also broadening my horizons and expanding my cultural awareness. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been an au pair abroad, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who shares a love for travel, cultural exchange, and working with children.
