Au Pair

May - August 2018 • Innsbruck, Tyrol

What I liked

Absolutely loved the family and location. Their church surrounded and included me, and asked me to come back whenever I could!

What I wish was different

I wish I spoke German.

Advice

Make sure you get to know the family beforehand. If you do not get along, au pairing could be a terrible experience. But if you do like each other, you've suddenly got international lifelong friends!
