I have been an aupair here in United States, for almost 8 months, and I can’t believe the time has gone so fast! It has been a great time so far.
I live in Northampton in western Massachusetts whit my host family, taking care of Sophia, 3 years old. It’s a lively family; she also has two big brothers that are 13 and 15 years old. And I take care of here while here mom and dad are at work.
We do all kinds of stuff during the days together, story time at library, music class, art class, go to the park, inside playground, museum, play outdoors, etc. She is a challenging little girl, but I love her and I will always stay in touch whit her in the future.

At the weekends I do all kind of fun things whit my friends I meet here, mostly other au pairs but also some Americans that live in the area. We are really lucky, because we live 3 hours form New York, and 2 hours from Boston, so it’s not that far! I have gone to New York 2 weekends and to Boston 2 days. And Northampton, where I live is such a great town, it’s very different, and I don’t think I will ever see another city like this in my life! It’s very artistic, have a great variety of different stores and it’s beautiful!
Right now when the sun it’s doing its best so make all the flowers pop up, it’s better then ever! Right now I’m actually sitting in a coffee place, Woodstar, my favorite spot, where I always go when I have time, bring my computer, a book, or meet friends.

I don’t regret my choice to go here as an au pair, not at all, even if it’s hard sometimes and you’re homesick, I have learned so much from this and I have grown so much as a person. I still looking forward to go home, see my family friends, and my horse, but I will look back at this, as probably one of the best years in my life.
