I was an Au Pair almost 4 years ago (I was 19-20 at the time) in Paris, mostly because it was a quick and easy way to live abroad. I had a great experience; I made a lot of great friends, learned a new language, I grew exponentially as a person, and it helped focus me for my studies when I came home. It certainly isn't for everyone and there were of course plenty of moments where I had to bite my tongue when I completely disagreed with parental choices (sometimes I couldn't hold back). If you have any questions about my experience feel free to ask.
