"I'm an au pair from Colorado, who was lucky to work for such wonderful people. I came back to Armenia and feel like I'm a new person. I had the best experience and memories and I can't stop telling everybody how great this program is. It gave me the opportunity to find a good job, which is very hard to do in our country. And I have to tell my special thanks to the local coordinator who did everything, even more than possible, for we feel as comfortable and happy. I had a beautiful experience in all meanings. I'm very grateful! And at the end I want to note that I brought with me (in Armenia) so many good and kind cultural values and habits, which are helping me in so many ways. Many, many thanks!" --Au Pair from Yerevan, Armenia

"I’d like to thank you for a wonderful year I could spent with my great host family from New Jersey. I had so much fun out there. I’ve met such nice people. My host parents were the nicest people I’ve ever known and the girls, Christine and Stephanie, the cutest. They treated me as their third daughter, I could always count on them. I didn’t travel a lot during the year because I preferred to spend this time out there in New Jersey. Although I was in Boston, Washington, Philadelphia and almost every weekend I spent in NYC. We all had such a great time. I was really sad when I was leaving, I felt like I’m leaving a part of me there. But my host mom told me very nice words. She said that I’d be always a part of their family, They’ll keep me in their hearts forever because I’m special for them. She added also that she knows that one day I’ll visit them and that I’m always more than welcome in their home. That was so sweet! I forgot to write but they made me a welcome and goodbye party, wasn’t that cute?! Now I’m in Poland with my family, also very happy. But if someone asks me if you like to go back there once again, I’d certainly say YES. I’d like to say THANK YOU to all of you once again for giving me the chance to go to the U.S.A. I’ll never forget it!!" --Au Pair from Poland

“I can say that I am part of my host family and I think that that’s great! There is plenty about my culture that I share with my family. I teach the children a folk song from my country and I prepare a typical meal from my country. My family is also anxious to share aspects of American culture with me.” --Au Pair from Poland

“I was an au pair for a family in Michigan. My year is over and I have to say it was the best year ever! I had a great time and a wonderful experience. My host family was the best and I love them so much! I learned a lot about myself this year, what I can be and what I am able to do! Debra Martin was my local coordinator and she’s great! She was always there in times of need and always willing to help! Our cluster is very happy to have someone like her, she’s very special. Thank you for letting me be a part of Au Pair USA, it was truly an honor!"
