Thanksgiving is a traditional American holiday celebrated with family and friends.  We take time to acknowledge what we’re grateful for.  Here are some comments I hear from au pairs and host families:

I’m thankful for the opportunity to come to the U.S. and have the experience of a lifetime.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to host our wonderful au pair and have our children learn so much about another part of the world.

I’m thankful for the memories that I’ll always have of my time in the U.S. with my host family.

I’m thankful for the German chocolate my au pair shares with me!

And I’m thankful for the many years I’ve had with my wonderful girls-au pairs from around the world who have taught me way more than I’ve taught them!
