Q: How would you describe your year as au pair in America?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fantastic. I have no regrets about my decision to become an au pair. I think being in an American family is the best way to discover and understand this country, and this is what makes this experience unique. I\u2019ve met a wonderful family, I\u2019ve got the chance to travel and see different parts of the USA, I\u2019ve met wonderful people and I would never forget this year.<\/p>\n Q: What surprised you most about the USA?<\/strong><\/p>\n I would say the people. Americans are so friendly and you can easily talk with someone while waiting for your coffee or at the gym with people smiling at you and asking how you\u2019re doing. Pretty much something I wasn\u2019t used to. Also, this country is huge\u2026 Everything is bigger.<\/p>\n Q: What was the most memorable experience you shared with your host family?<\/strong><\/p>\n All the special moments I had the opportunity to experience with them such as the 4th of July, Thanksgiving or Christmas\u2026 It was interesting to see how they celebrate holidays and so nice from them to include me.<\/p>\n Other memorable things are when I\u2019m with the kids and we are all laughing and having fun, these simple but magic moments make all sense for an au pair.<\/p>\n
