Thoughts from an Au Pair about life in places such as Chesapeake, Virginia




Being an Aupair by Sabrina from Germany

- Participating in cultural exchange programs –
When I think back to the time I`ve been an Aupair, a lot of precious memories come to my mind. I remember meeting and living with the greatest and kindest host family I could have ever wished for and being with the two cutest and funniest two girls who soon would become like little sisters to me.

Together we`ve been creative, silly, explored places, shared new experiences and discovered interesting cultural differences. We`ve been to playgrounds, made up games, did handicrafts together and set up playdates.

Although time is running and it`s been three years since I´ve completed the Au Pair Program, my host family and I are still in touch. We share photos and news and even visit one another once in a while.

That`s how I get the opportunity to watch my two girls growing bigger and bigger.
I`ve also made friends all over the world: France, Brasil, Australia, Great Britian, the Netherlands and many more. With some of them I´m still in touch.

My American host family and my friends made it possible to live the American lifestyle. That`s for instance how I`ve got the chance to find out Thanksgiving and Halloween are the most exciting holidays I`ve ever experienced.

I got to travel all around the United States to see the most impressing scenery and cities.
Without noticing, my English improved to its best and I've even had the opportunity to sneak into college life on my own.

I`d do it all over again and still think about my host family almost every day.
