French Fairytale!

Becoming an au pair in France as a gap year in college was one of the best decisions I've made. I got incredibly lucky with a wonderful family that embraced me and introduced me to all things French. I learned so much from the language, to the cuisine, and much more. I was lucky enough to see so much of Europe as well during my stay and loved my first year so much that I went back for a second year with the same family a year later. But the best part by far was the people I met. I became friends with other au pairs from all over the world - from Canada to Italy - and cultivated bonds that are still strong today. And I will always treasure the golden moments with my family and the children I looked after. I truly believe that the best way to learn about a place is to live there fully immersed in the culture and way of life. There is no better way to do that then as an au pair. I will forever be grateful for what this experience gave me and pushed me toward. I am now an English teacher in the Dominican Republic with a passion for travel and new cultures that was ignited with my France stay. I would highly recommend taking advantage of this program to anyone who wants to see more of the world in a truly unique way!
