Brianna Mendoza
The areas I serve in Nebraska
I am the Local Area Representative for big cities like Omaha in Nebraska to smaller cities such as Dunlap in Iowa. I help local families that are located nearby within 1 hour from the heart of Downtown Omaha, Nebraska.
Welcome! I am Brianna and the newest Nebraska/Iowa Representative for Go Au Pair. I grew up in Omaha and am very familiar with the city and surrounding areas.
I studied in my undergrad at the University of Nebraska—Omaha. I have been a writer for the past 8 years and am trilingual. I am usually reading, cooking/baking, going for a run, spending time with my family or playing video games. I enjoy learning and challenging myself with new hobbies. My current new interests are blacksmithing, botany and learning a third language to code in.
I believe that the Au Pair program provides a beautiful experience for both Host Families and Au Pairs. It is a great exchange of cultural values and traditions that will be cherished from everyone
who participates. As the Local Area Representative, I am available for the Host Families and Au Pairs while being able to provide them events within the city to bring everyone closer while learning more about one another. It is truly a one of a kind experience for everyone involved and I am so happy to be a part of it!
Our Nebraska Host Families currently have Au Pairs from Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru. Our local Au Pairs care for children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers. The Nebraska host parents are in marketing, engineering, finance, healthcare, human resources and transportations.
