Go Au Pair’s feature country is South Africa. Families who match with an Au Pair from South Africa will receive $100 off the program fees in addition to other discounts available. We’ve talked to Go Au Pair’s International Representative in South Africa, Angel Jordaan and she shared some really interesting information about South African Au Pairs:
The main reason Au Pair candidates from South Africa choose to come to the U.S for the Au Pair program is because the country is compatible and the language is an advantage, also because of the desire to travel, explore and learn more about the American culture.
Au Pairs from South Africa are taught to be independent from a young age, they grow up quickly and learn to be self-motivated and driven to achieve their goals. They drive from a young age, because of the rural areas here in South Africa, known as Farms. They are social people, love the outdoors, and adore animals, wild life and the ocean.
Au Pairs from South Africa are also great for American Host Families because they grew up in a country very exposed to western cultures that makes them fit in exceptionally well with American Families, their English communication skills are very well developed and due to South Africa’s difficult political past and the country’s ability to overcome that it has resulted in our people being very positive and able to make the best of every situation, in short they will bring positive energy to any household.
