I don’t feel like I am working. I feel more like a sister to the children who takes care of them and helps in the household. That’s a great feeling, to be accepted as a family member. Upon finishing my year in Switzerland I am off to the States.
My year was the best year ever! I had a great time and a wonderful experience. My host family was the best and I love them so much! I learned a lot about myself this year, what I can be and what I am able to do! My local coordinator was always there to support me and help where she can. Thank you for letting me apart of Taking Abroad, it was truly an honor!
My year in Netherlands is the best ever! I really enjoyed my time there because I got to travel to France, Spain and Italy. My host family was amazing. They made me feel apart of the family and included me in there day to day lives.
Taking Abroad Au Pair Agency, has given me the opportunity to experience a fantastic, exciting, once in lifetime working holiday in the United States of America! The professional staff at Taking Abroad Au Pairs made applying for a Job with a wonderful American family and getting my Aupair visa a piece of cake. Not only were they there to help me when applying for a job every step of the way, they have kept in contact with me in America and have kept in contact with my family in South Africa, making sure that both my family and I are coping apart and doing well.They have truly helped me make this a magnificent experience.
I recently underwent a transition whereby I was suited to a new family because things did not work out with my first family, I thought it would be a scary nerve wracking experience but together with my local co-ordinates here in the USA and the kind staff at Taking Abroad in South Africa, who comforted me and supported me every step of the way, made it easy for me to find a new family and get settled in comfortably and not worry at all, not only were they there for me but they were there to comfort my family back in South Africa assuring them that I am doing well and that everything is going smoothly with the transition.I am now suited to a wonderful family and am having the time of my life experiencing everything the United States of America has to offer because I have the support and the security of my Agency. Thank you Taking Abroad Aupairs for allowing me this wonderful opportunity!
