What do Host Parents say about their Au
Pairs from El Salvador?
Libbie is currently hosting her third Au Pair, Roxana, with Go Au Pair. Roxana is from El Salvador and was a transition Au Pair prior to beginning her placement with Libbie's family.
How well did your Au Pair assimilate into your home?
"Very well. She is enjoying the fact that DC has a large El Salvadorian population and is having fun finding things like tamales on the street that she couldn't find in her previous host city. She is very outgoing and friendly in general, and she and my husband share a common rabid love of soccer. She insisted on rooting for El Salvador vs. the United States when the two countries played each other in soccer.
What cultural differences did you encounter?
"She is the third Au Pair we've had from Latin America, and since she'd already been in the country for awhile, she hasn't seemed all that surprised by anything we've thrown her. She didn't know how to use the toaster to toast her bagel, but this is a minor difference."
Would you ever choose another Au Pair from El Salvador?
"Yes."
