    I was an Au-Pair 10 years ago in Germany and that was the best decision I ever made in my life. My family was scared as we had no one we knew abroad, fast forward that decision opened doors for me, I’m now a qualified Trauma Surgery Nurse in Germany , I’m fluent in Deutsch,own a house,own my dream car, have travelled to more than 20 countries, the list is endless. If given a chance grab it guys you might never know

    I worked as an au pair in Spain during my university summer holiday. Best thing I ever did. The family was very welcoming, they lived in a rural city so for most of the residents it was their 1st time seeing a black person including the 80yr old grandpa who wouldn't even look my way 🤣. Funny thing is, by the end of my stay he was the one that spoke to me the most. Precovid I visited them every year after and was very touched by the efforts of the extended family to learn English.
    I highly recommend it but always caution people on families that offer you more money than the standard rate. You'll be a nanny/maid Vs au pair

    On the one side it's an excellent opportunity for young people, however, on the other end there are major downfalls with these programs which borders on human rights violations. I do have first hand experience and know of so many young ladies who have had horrible experiences. Often these families are well aware that the participants are vulnerable in that they don't have families nearby and use it as an opportunity to overwork Au Pairs. Au Pairs are often expected to tend to children around the clock because the parents work long hours whereas others don't have a real desire to be parents.Also these counsellors who serves as the middle person between the family and the Au Pair does not always look out for the Au Pairs, because of the mere fact that they essentially are working for their client (the family) and will overlook many wrongs to keep the family happy. I know of one Au Pair who was assaulted by one of the children who was around 12 years old at the time. I encouraged the young lady to file a police report, the family and agency swept it under the rug. There were multiple tales of Au Pairs just disappearing, and no one knowing where they are. Some of the host-mothers are....let's just say problematic, as they are often unsatisfied and use manipulative tactics to mentally mess with the Au Pairs. For anyone still wanting to part-take in these program this is my advice: Do your research with these agencies, be firm with your boundaries...you are an Au Pair, not a maid, once you are matched with a family just do you part and make sure you take good care of yourself mentally. Lastly, for Au Pairs going it, these people are NOT your family, they will tell you that you are a part of their family...you are not!

      Well said, You know this Programs very well my Dear, It's not a Joke. I myself was once an Au pair in America 20years ago, l moved to Arizona at the Beginning of my Program with Indians Family(American Indians), after 2 months l left them because we didn't connect at all and l didn't even like Arizona. My Councillor Found another Family in Pennsylvania for me ( White Jewish Family) and it was Fantastic people, they treated me very well with respect and l did the same to them with their Children, l was part of the Family and the children were Fantastic and I did my Best with them as well until l left America, and that Family wanted me to stay but l refused because I was young and wanted to study not to be Nanny.
      While living in Pennsylvania, the Cleaner of the Host Family introduced me to a Lady from South Africa whom she knew, so l got invited to a Party one Saturday, where l meet a lot of Black South Africans there, who run away from their hosts Families, and some South Africans were those who decided to stay with their host family after their Contracts ended. I learned a lots there , and to understand that some people can break the rules, both Au Pairs and Hosts Families. It was just a shock to me, And when l started Driving to their places where they live and work, l saw the long hours they work with Kids . I think the Programs can be messy when people lose Control and don't follow rules . Some Au Pairs whom l met when l first arrived in Pennsylvania didn't last, After some months, they returned back to their home Countries, l have always wondered what went wrong but l later discovered about so many problems between them and Families and Rules. Your Absolutely right people should research before Traveling, l am always grateful, everything went well with me.

    In America the au pair stipen is about the same amount the host family pays to the the program via "Cultural care". So you can consider that as a minimum rage or "cheap labor" as you said for you but your host family is paying the double of that for you to be there. I just feel I need to give you that peace of information . The program is regulated by the US government. I am a host family mom for the first time. Our au pair will be here in 3 weeks. I have been watching videos from host families and au pairs to understand both prospective so that I can prepare myself better to host my au pair. Very nice video thank you

      Strange that people actually think that adopted accents are forced. I am one of those people who generally change how I speak depending on where I'm living at that point. Ive lived in 3 countries and in many different towns with different cultures. I'm not too sure why it happens but it does. I think I get overly immersed so that living is easier (adaptation comes in different forms). Also some people speak like their primary educator... So might have really grown up speaking that way, she actually speaks like a tonne of South Africans I have encountered.
