An other awsome testimony from on her AuPair stay process in US 🌍🥳
"After being an Au Pair for 2.8 years and 1.5 year living in the US I finally visited the country I was born and raised.
GERMANY
And the question I get always: Why did I became an Au Pair in the US?
Honestly the choice of the US was just a gut feeling. But the choice of becoming an Au Pair was a really specific one. In a small talk situation I would only say, that I wanted to speak better English and I wouldn’t do just by taking a class.
The deeper answer goes a bit longer: I found my passion for traveling, but my by that boyfriend would do all the talking for us. After he left me and ended our very long toxic relationship I had to find a way to travel on my own. But I wasn’t ready to do a big step since even tho my private life was in shembels I still had my very fulfilling work as a teacher for infants. Loved my class of 15 children in the age of 1 to 3 years and my coworkers that I was leading. But after my favorite coworker from my team got pregnant I got coworkers who struggled with me as younger-then-them- leader and the work I was expecting from them (kids come first, always).
So after that the feeling of „there is something more out there for me“ grew unbearable, so I send the application to become an Au Pair with 25 years old. Working already over 5 years, having my cute apartment and a car. But I just had to try it. Overwhelmed with the positive response from potential Host family’s I found my first and current Host family in Ohio that I adore so much.
(I left them for my extension year, but that’s a different story)"
