Anna KopylovaRussian Au Pair in US
That book is OMG THANK YOU!! 💛
I was reading this book and was preparing for my interview at the US Embassy. I wasn't even afraid because this book was supporting me through all that time, and now... I AM HERE! I love it! Thank you one more time!
Joanna NachmanLinguistics Student, Ex-Au Pair
Inspiring, heart-warming
Not only does this book give practical tips about au pairing but also says that it is OK to not know what to do after studies and follow your path. That au pairing is not only (but also!) for people after high school. For me, this book was like a therapy and a real life-changer. Highly recommended!
Juliana PiperPodcast Host, Ex-Au Pair
I truly love your purpose.
It was so hard for me to connect with other Au Pairs back when I was one. Such beautiful work and so needed by this community. Thank you for creating this movement.
Anna LorenzTravel Agent, German Au Pair in Australia
I love it!
It's not just a book. It's inspiration. It's motivation. It's the feeling of being understood. I love it!
Samantha LorenziniItalian Au Pair in San Francisco
If you want, you can do it.
Sometimes people ask me "Why are you an Au Pair?" Well, it's not too easy to explain. It's something you actually have to try one time in your life. And if you have any doubts or you are scared to leave your own place, please read this book and remember... never back down, if you want, you can do it.

So how do you get the most out of your experience? How will you know at the end of your time as an Au Pair that you’ve succeeded? That you used your time well?
