Expat Host Family: Advantages of having an au pair

Ready to pack up the family and embark on a global adventure?

That’s it you have decided to embark on a global adventure, your company have brought the best experts to help you into this new journey but are you really that prepared?

You have sorted the new house, the school, suitcases are nearly all packed but you are still worry on the impact for your family especially on your children. Will the children settle in their new life? Make new friends? Will the after school childcare be suitable for them? what about learning a new language? How can I help them to fit into their new surrounding?

This is exactly some of the the questions I asked myself before moving abroad.. but by now, you will probably will have guess my answer “become a host family by welcoming an au pair”.
Indeed, an au pair can ease the transition and make the move go more smoothly. Get the au pair in your home country before travelling and your children will be already accustomed to the au pair.

Numerous benefits also include:

• High flexible childcare when you arrive
• Create a new support network away from your close family
• Your children will have a familiar face when they get accustomed into their new life
• Extra moral support for the parents with an additional family member
• Manage the unexpected with an extra pair of hands
• Start a new job peacefully knowing that you have someone at home
• Choose an au pair with multilingual skills
