Smartaupairs and Essential Travel team up to answer au pair FAQs

Connie and Essential Travel have worked together on an article to introduce the program to young people seeking cultural exchange. Connie explains:

“The main purpose of the Au Pair experience is the cultural exchange, learning a different culture by living alongside a family in the host country. Therefore, it is important that a candidate is not afraid to try out new things and has a positive and flexible approach. As the Au Pair will be spending the majority of the time with their host family, they must enjoy family life, spending time with children, and taking part in family activities for instance.”

The article also notes the main benefits that au pairs get out of the program:

- It could be a great way to learn a language if that’s your aim - There's no worry about commuting as you will be living with the family - If you are lucky, you may even get your own car, TV, mobile or land in a place with a pool! - You will really get to grips with a foreign culture as you will be living it
