Summer is almost gone and we are so excited  that new au pairs are coming to our cluster! Lets welcome our new member  Luz Adriana from Colombia . This young woman is 27 years old and she just arrived to Philadelphia. Let me show you a little bit a bout her:

Questions

Why did you decide to be an au pair? I decided to be au pair because I like to take care of kids, they are very sweet and at the same time I consider that this is a good opportunity to travel and learn a different language.

What are some of your hobbies? Some of my hobbies are swimming, riding  bike, and of course watching movies on weekends.

Can you mention one of your great memories? One of my great memories is something that happened to me in Washington state, we were riding a boat with my friends and it was so much fun!

Can you tell us three adjectives that describe you the best? I’m very patient, friendly and positive.

Where would you like to go as soon as you arrive to Philadelphia? I would like to visit New York.

Dear members of our cluster as you can see here Luz might need a travel buddy and she is willing to start a new adventure here in Philadelphia. Luz also mentioned that she is more than satisfied with Go Au Pair because they are very efficient finding the perfect match for the au pairs!

Once again Luz Adriana Sierra welcome to our cluster and we hope you enjoy staying here with us!!!

Welcoming new Au Pair from Mexico Hannya!

Hannya is a new Au Pair from Mexico who joined the Philadelphia, NJ and Bucks  County cluster this week. I would like to welcome Hannya to the cluster, Go Au Pair and the US.  Hannya already made a lot of friends on FB and she is looking forward to meeting them soon. Hannya also made a great connection with her buddy Karla, Au Pair from Ecuador.

Let me introduce Hannya. Hannya is 20 years old and she is from Torreon, Mexico.  She likes kids and spends a lot of time working and teaching the kids and volunteering for  different projects.

Hannya says, ” I consider myself a patient, smiling and outgoing person.  I like to spend my free time with friends or go to the cinema.  When I was in Torreon, one of my favorites hobbies was playing soccer or going to soccer matches.

Last month I was traveling with friends and family through México and we visited a lot of places! I learn fast and If there something that I don’t understand I like to research about that thing.”

Hannya’s dream is ” to visit all possible places.” Good luck with that  – there are many places to visit during your Au Pair year!

We are all looking forward to meeting you, Hannya! Welcome, again!

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!”

Good Luck again, Maria. Thank you for sharing about your Au Pair journey in the US!

Consider Hosting a Male Au Pair.

Many host families prefer male Au Pairs because they are usually easy going, more flexible and practical and willing to do more of the housework. Kids love male Au Pairs because they are creative with game and activities, love sports and spend time outside, camping, cycling, playing with the kids.

Consider Hendry, 20 year old Au pair from South Africa. Hendry already worked as an Au pair in China, “I have lived in China for a while where I was a tutor to children. I loved every moment.”

“I started working in China as an English teacher four months after I graduated. I
first had to do a TEFL(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course before I
could teach so I completed it and received an A grading. We used games to teach
the children so they are entertained during the lessons. The children were
between the ages of three and eleven so I also had to keep an eye on them the
whole time during the lessons, breaks and lunch times. I learned a lot about their
culture and traditions and I enjoyed the experience very much.”

When I returned home I took on two part time jobs. In the morning I worked at a
daycare center named Wielie Walie where I worked with babies between the ages
of 3 and 24 months. During this time I had to change diapers, bathe them, feed
them, give them medicine, play games with them and I also had to potty train a
child. In the afternoon I worked at an after care center where I had to supervise
over the children and help them with homework and studying. They were
between the ages of ten and thirteen.

I have a lot of experience working with children from all ages including babes. I was an English teacher in China last year so my English is excellent and I lived in another country before. I’m currently transporting children to school and their after school activities everyday so I’m also a very good driver. I am responsible, hard working, mature, honest, energetic and most importantly very good with children. I enjoy to cook, read, working out, cycling, being outdoors and to travel.
I would love to become a part of your family and be an older brother for your children. I would also like doing various activities with them like playing in the park, going to the library, baking and also to look after them”.

Hendry is looking for a host family in Pennsylvania state, if possibly in or near Philadelphia.
