Farewell to our dear friend Anita!

It is the middle of the summer and sadly but at the same time happily we have to say good bye to Anita Pinzon! She came at the end of January 2017 and after all this time she is leaving with a big smile and good memories with her family back in Colombia! Lets see what she said in our short but interesting interview!

What places did you visit and which one you like the most? Well, I had the opportunity to visit some states around the country like Michigan, California and Miami and some others but honestly I don’t have a favorite cause in most of them I had fun!

What was your favorite way to spend your time in the USA? Since I didn’t work on weekends most of the time I traveled with my friends in order to have fun and try new things!

Whats your favorite thing of being a au pair? I can say that I had the chance to live and share memories with an amazing host family, I was able to improve my English skills and of course enjoy my time with my host kids.

 

How do you like the experience  being a part of an American Family? I really like this experience cause I was involved in the culture by speaking their language, trying their food and of course their life style in a real environment.

 

Finally, Anita said that she wishes us all the best in our lives (including the cluster, LAR and Go Au Pair), and that she will keep us in her hearth forever!

Thank you so much for your words Anita, we wish you the best! We are sure that your family in your country can not wait to see you! We hope you had a great time with us and keep it up my friend!

“I am starting another year with my American family in Bucks County,  PA! I am really happy and I’m looking forward to spending my second Au Pair year!

Since I have been here I learned a lot about American culture and lifestyle! It is really impressive and nothing I could compere with. It is just very different! But I absolutely love it with all my heart!

I met so many nice people, made new friends, did a lot of traveling, was a volunteer for the international spring festival, went to an American college, ate a real Philly cheese-steak, had an American camping experience, went to Mexico, saw so many deer, foxes, learned about the American way to raise kids.

I learned lot of new cool things! I am so thankful for everything that I have done and I’m looking forward to many new adventures with my host family and my friends!

I am really happy and I’m looking forward to spending this awesome time of my life as an Au Pair!”
