Au pairs play such an important part in helping their host kids mature and grow—and one of the most important roles au pairs play is that of a teacher! Au pairs not only teach their host kids about their own food, customs, holidays and language but life lessons as well—for example, how to appreciate people’s differences and be open to other ways of doing, thinking and talking.
&nbsp;
We recently spent some time with au pairs and their host kids to witness first-hand what American host children are learning from their au pairs, and watching little kids trying to count to ten in a different language and reveal their favorite foreign snack foods is simply adorable!
&nbsp;
We invite you to listen in on some of the lessons au pairs are giving to their host children—you might even learn something new yourself!
