26 Mar Why I Love Au Pair Paris
Written by Natalie, Age 22
I love looking out the little window of my room at night on the tippy top floor of my building and being able to see lights and TVs flickering across the street, instead of dark windows shaded by blinds or curtains.
This is why I love Paris, because the lights stay on- and the people do too- from day passing into night.
Before I came to Paris, I didn’t care too much for 16th century paintings or 12th century cobblestones. I came to learn the second language I neglected to finish in school. But Paris has changed my mind: I find myself drooling over luxurious well-preserved brocades at the Louvre, or marveling at the insect-inspired Metro architecture. I hope never to leave, but realize I will inevitably be hoisted onto plane back home; returning with a profound sense of aesthetic hedonism.
Susan and Sylvie of Au Pair Paris run a tight ship with a close-knit group of au pairs. From the very first time I called to gather information about becoming an au pair, it was evident their agency had my best interest at heart. I knew I wanted to live inside the city, have my own space, and look after older kids. Au Pair Paris was able to make my requests a reality because they are a small agency and thus have more opportunity to pay attention to personal detail.
