Living abroad is one of the best experiences for everyone to grow up and understand the meaning of independence. You will discover a new culture, a new language, new friends and a new way of life. Unfortunately, nothing is free and you will have to finance the whole thing. Au Pairing is often the best solution for students in order to avoid breaking their piggy-bank!
More Culture
You actually get to see what the culture is like from a very realistic point of view. Unlike staying with your friends and speaking your native language, you will be immediately immersed in a family of that culture and get to see the ins and outs of everyday life.
More Language
Even if you already speak the language when you arrive, there is always something new to learn from hearing a toddler speak it. Expressions and idioms can be learned if you hear and use it a lot of time. Being an Au Pair is probably the best option to become Bilingual!
Be paid to tidy your Home
Think 2 seconds about that: Is there any other place where you will be paid to clean and tidy your home? I dream of being paid to clean my apartment!
Money
Au Pair Experiences allow you to settle and live abroad by paying less which is ideal for students who wish to take a gap year and travel before entering the labour market. Of course, don’t expect to save money: you will simply have enough to live comfortably, but it still better than having nothing!
Become the Teacher
Watching a little kid absorb your language and mannerisms and expressions as you spend time together is one of the coolest and most fulfilling things ever. Trust me!
Conclusion: It’s up to you! French have the expression “Qui ne tente rien, n’a rien” which means: people who try nothing, have nothing. So here is our conclusion, TRY.
