Why being an au pair?


I gave you so many reasons not to be an au pair did you realize? No well let me explain you quickly before I give u the reason to be an au pair. Actually I shouldn't have been an au pair cause I love America too much and it breaks my heart to leave as it breaks my heart to leave my kids and my amazing host family I never talk about them but they are the most amazing persons in the world. I wish I didn't come so it wouldn't be so hard to leave then even though I know that I'm gonna see them again cause my host dad's parents leave in south of France. It makes me feel a little better but not that much. And shopping and traveling everything is so cheap here how can we go back to crazy prices after that. It sounds terrible like this but if ur not as sensitive as me u should be fine. I hope for you. Well I wasn't that sensitive anymore since I arrived here cause ur alone and need to control what u feel but actually your real personality come back when it can, I'm not shy anymore and I can handle any kind of situation but not the goodbyes that's the worth think in the world I would like my heart to stop bumping in my chest sometimes. Luckily even if it's hats when u think about the future it helps.


That's why u need to become an au pair. It makes u get stronger physically (if u have to take care of two boys like me) and mentally. I makes u grow up. Even if I was 22 when I arrive I grew up a lot so for the one that are younger it's gonna make u grow up. But u need to think like an adult to apply for this job cause yes it's a real job. If the family consider that they need to take care of you like their kids they will just fired you. You need to be mature and responsible and flexible. It's not ur family u need to follow the rules, the family is also making concessions like you sometimes to have you so be respectful. You're not the only one in this story, the family and the kids are here so talk together, enjoy your time together and you'll be part of the family but u also need to take care of the kids so during the working hours your job count first. If you can handle to be the employee sometimes you'll be even more part of the family trust me. Bit I have to say some families can abuse so be careful when ur choosing they are even more careful and they also wonder if ur gonna be good for them so you should think about it too. Watch the attitude of the family when ur skyping.


Whoop I'm talking about everything except the reasons to be au pair. Well leaving in a different culture is the first point and then meeting people from all over the world, travel and them meet new au pairs when ur an old au pair and tell them about your experience. That's short but there us nothing to say it's such an amazing experience. Meeting people from all over the world is something Mahican, u discover new cultures and different ways of thinking. And u grow ip ur more open minded it's just amazing.
