MEET AU PAIRS AND HOST FAMILIES
Real Life Stories from Au Pair in America
Meet Jessica from Mexico
“We found out we were pregnant with our second child in late 2021 and, not too long after, we found out that Chris was headed out to his third deployment and was scheduled to leave no more than three weeks after our daughter was born. As a full time working mom, I was going to need some help. We interviewed Jessie and the first thing that she said to me after reading our essay was that she recognized we were going to need help, and that she wanted to be the one to do it.” – Jessica’s host family from Minnesota

Meet Emilia From Argentina
“I have never encountered Emi at work when she is not actively engaging with Elliot in creative toddler play. She tends to his nutritional needs, medicates his skin rashes, and always keeps his clothes and toys clean and tidy without being asked. She is intuitive enough to strike the perfect balance between fostering his independence and nurturing and supporting him with healthy attachment, just as we strive to do ourselves.” – Emilia’s host family from Georgia

From creating engaging educational activities to fostering emotional intelligence, her dedication to the well-being of our children has been unparalleled. The boys are now one and three years old and seeing their developmental strides under her care has been heartwarming and commendable.” – Lina’s host family from Colorado

Meet Sylwia From Poland
“Within a week of her arrival, it felt like she had been a part of our family for years. On a daily basis, she interacts with us during her working hours and during her ‘off-duty’ hours. She often has dinner with us, cooks with us, partakes in dinner conversations and discussions, watches movies with us, accompanies us on family outings on weekends, and travels with us on family vacations.” – Sylwia’s host family from Georgia
