Daniella
“[Au Pair] is hands down one of the strongest au pairs I have had. She is always on time, she works very independently without needing much direction. She is extremely neat and organized.”
“I love my host family as my family back in Ukraine. They are wonderful people and I am so happy that I met them.”
“Being able to share our cultures with each other makes child care more pleasant, in addition to being a more familiar relationship which makes it a pleasant environment”
“Because an Aupair is more than just a nanny, it is a person that lives with the family and can become another member of the family because they live more experiences with children creating stronger bonds and the cultural differences makes that the families and AuPair can learn from each other and open their minds in many aspects”
