With the Hostmum blog we are trying to publish interesting topics for Au Pairs and Host Families with the goal to entertain, educate, inform or sometimes create a controversy discussions.
We hope we can help to enhance the mutual comprehension:
The Au Pair brings along some habits and so does the Host Family. It is quite helpful to understand and accept the fact, that things will be different in the Host Family and that the life of the Host Family will also change a little bit with the new Au Pair moving in.
We encourage an open communication between the Au Pairs and the Host Family. Here on the Hostmum blog we will pick up many controversial topics and hope to provide helpful hints how to address and solve these problems.
If you have an urgent questions or a topic you think would be very useful to publish here, we are very happy if you let us know via the “Contact” form or as a comment below.
We are looking forward to numerous and interesting comments or discussions!
