Welcome to my blog!

My name is Elisa, I’m French, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently an au pair in the United States.

Like many others, I dreamed of this adventure after watching testimonials that described it as an incredible experience—traveling, improving my English, and living the daily life of an American family. But once I arrived, I realized that the reality is much more nuanced.

Through this blog, I want to share my experience with honesty, without filters. Here, you’ll find everything:

✔️ The magical moments—traveling, meeting new people, and the freedom to explore a new country.
The challenges—loneliness, adapting to a new culture, and the mental load of working with children.
💡 Practical advice—how to choose the right host family, navigate through difficult moments, and make the most of this experience.

If you’re thinking about becoming an au pair or are already in the middle of this adventure, this blog is here to help you understand and prepare for the journey as best as possible.

Welcome to the real life of an au pair! ✨
