New Zealand is full of adventures, adrenaline and heart beats.  And as an Au Pair, you will definitely meet at least one of these things during your time in New Zealand.  I like New Zealand just because of all the things you can do.  If you feel for skiing, you can just hit the nearest ski centre.  If you feel for a lazy day at the beach, there's a lot of beaches to go to.  Or, if you feel for some adventure or adrenaline you just have to open your eyes. There's so many things to do!  And you can always find something new, beautiful and exciting just around the corner. 

But it's not just the adventures and adrenaline that took me all the way to New Zealand.  It's also all the people and their culture.  The people here really want to help if you're having a problem.  And they are really proud to show and teach you everything about their culture.  They really want to you to become a kiwi!  To become part of the big family.  So, to be an Au Pair in New Zealand is just amazing.  It's a good experience in so many ways.  You get the opportunities to do so many things - on your own and with your kids.  For me, it was like a dream come true.  The adrenaline when I bungy jumped over a river!  The adventures when my friends and I were lost on an island, and the extra heart beat you get when you see the kids do something they really love - are very fond memories!

To come to New Zealand with Au Pair Link has made me feel safe.  I'm happy that to chose Au Pair Link because all the things they can offer.  They have workshops, playgroups for children, activities for all the Au Pairs, and Au Pairs and children.  In that way, you meet a lot of people from other nations and can share experiences or just talk about nothing.  I met my best friend through Au Pair Link, which I'm really happy for!

Au Pair Link makes me feel special as well.  I have my own personal manager that visits me each month just to see if I'm okay.  Just to have a little talk and also help me with ideas.  I know that she will help me if there's any problem, and that always makes me feel safe.  To always have someone to call.  I don't have to be worried with Au Pair Link.  To feel safe, special and at the same time having fun with other Au Pairs and their children has given me so much joy.  It makes me feel better, and I can relax and have a great time with my own kids - I always have someone supporting me if I need it.
