Mehr Au-pair Erfahrungen 🌍 Da mein letzter Post zu unserem Aupair so viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommen hat, dachte ich, ich teile nochmal ein paar Einblicke zu diesem Thema. 😊 Wenn ich erzähle, dass wir ein Aupair haben, kommen oft viele interessierte Fragen. Hier ein paar Antworten: 1️⃣ Wo und wie habt ihr euer Aupair gefunden? Wir haben unser Aupair über AuPairWorld gefunden. Dort legt man sich als Gastfamilie ein Profil an und kann von Aupairs kontaktiert werden oder selbst suchen. Ich habe ca. 80–100 Aupairs angeschrieben, um unser tolles Aupair zu finden. ✨ 2️⃣ Ist es nicht komisch, jemanden Fremdes bei sich wohnen zu haben? Nein, aber ich denke das ist Typsache. Ich habe schon in verschiedensten WGs, Internat, Gastfamilien und Gemeinschaften gewohnt, daher war es für mich ok. Was ich aber schon entspannter finde, dass wir genügend Platz haben und wir unser Schlafzimmer auf einer anderen Etage haben als das Aupair und auch getrennte Badezimmer. 🏡 Außerdem gewöhnt man sich ja auch ganz schnell aneinander und unser Aupair ist uns echt schnell ans Herz gewachsen.💕 3️⃣ Ist ein Aupair teuer? Das hängt vom Land ab: 🇩🇪 Deutschland: gesetzlich 280 € Taschengeld + ÖPNV-Ticket + Sprachkurs für 30 Wochenstunden Arbeit 🇦🇹 Österreich: ca. 518 € monatlich + 13. & 14. Monatsgehalt für 18 Wochenstunden Arbeit. 🇮🇹 Italien: Unreguliert, wir richten uns allerdings nach dem EU-Standard (ca. 300 € monatlich), übernehmen zusätzlich das ÖPNV-Ticket (Kosten je nach Nutzung) und Versicherungen (ca. 30 €). Ein eigenes Zimmer, idealerweise mit eigenem Bad, ist Pflicht. Essen und gemeinsame Aktivitäten werden natürlich ebenfalls übernommen. 🛏️🍽️ Unterm Strich kommen wir auf ca. 500 € monatlich – eine echt gute Lösung für flexible Betreuung! 💡 4️⃣ Was macht das Aupair am Wochenende? Normalerweise hat unser Aupair am Wochenende frei und unternimmt etwas mit Freund:innen. Das ist natürlich individuell und hängt davon ab, wie selbstständig das Aupair ist. 🚴♀️🎉 5️⃣ Wie seid ihr auf die Idee mit dem Aupair gekommen? Meine Tante hatte früher immer Aupairs, und mir hat das Konzept schon damals gefallen. 🌟 Es ermöglicht uns als Eltern, im beruflichen Kontext flexibel zu bleiben. Ich wusste schon vor der Geburt meines Kindes, dass ich diese Unterstützung gerne in Anspruch nehmen würde. 👨👩👧 Meine Tipps für alle, die überlegen, mit einem Aupair zu arbeiten: ✅ Selbst Kandidat:innen anschreiben: Viel Arbeit, aber absolut lohnenswert! ✅ Beim Kennenlernen ehrlich sein – auch Herausforderungen (wie z. B. bei uns eine ländliche Lage) ansprechen, damit es später keine Überraschungen gibt. ✅ dem Aupair genügend Zeit geben, sich zu überlegen ob es passt, oder halt nicht und immer wieder betonen, dass sie jederzeit im Kennenlernprozess abspringen kann. ✅ Auf das Bauchgefühl hören! Wie sind eure Erfahrungen oder Gedanken zum Thema Aupair? 💬 Ich freue mich auf den Austausch! 😊

It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to pause and restrategize. Have you ever felt like you’re pushing endlessly, yet the doors just won’t open? Like no matter how hard you try, growth, career advancement, and new opportunities feel out of reach? I’ve been there. I was burntout~physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I thought if I just worked harder, success would follow. But instead, I was stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and self-doubt. That’s when my father told me something I’ll never forget: “Idah, it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to take a break when you’re tired. Maybe in the stillness and quietness you might find inspiration to move forward.“ At first, I resisted. How could I stop when I was so close? Wouldn’t stepping away mean giving up? But the truth was, I wasn’t moving forward either. The harder I pushed, the more stuck I felt. Eventually, I realized that rest wasn’t gonna be a setback but the reset I desperately needed to rediscover my direction. So, I made a bold decision: I stepped away from my career. I took a gap year. It wasn’t a glamorous option, and it wasn’t what most people would consider “progress.” I became an au pair in Austria. To be honest that was a gamechanger and best decision ever. Through platforms like AuPairWorld, I found the opportunity to step back, reflect, and rebuild. That year was life-changing. I traveled to ten countries, immersed myself in new cultures, and gained perspectives that reignited my sense of purpose. For the first time in a long time, I felt clarity. I reconnected with myself not as a professional chasing titles, but as a person seeking meaning. When my au pair journey ended, I returned to the path I’d been searching for all along. With newfound focus, I started my Master’s in International Business, ready to embrace the challenges ahead. What I learned is this: stepping back doesn’t mean giving up. Sometimes, it’s the bravest thing you can do. Pausing gives you space to breathe, reflect, and prepare for the next chapter with clarity and intention. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of your path, maybe this is your sign to pause. It’s okay to take a step back. It might just be the leap forward you’ve been waiting for. Today I invite you to reflect on your own journey: Are you feeling burntout or in need of clarity? Could this be the moment for you to slow down, breathe, restrategize or take a leap of faith?

Is an AuPairWorld experience related with professional experience? 🤔 Last September I decided to quit my job and embark myself on an AuPairWorld experience and this journey is offering me a unique blend of responsibility, cultural immersion, and growth. Little did I know, it would prepare me with skills that would become invaluable in the world of #marketing. 1️⃣ Adaptability: Living in a new country and adjusting to a different culture is much like navigating the ever-changing digital marketing landscape. Both require the ability to learn quickly and pivot when needed. 2️⃣ Communication Skills: As an au pair, clear communication with host families it's being critical, whether it was negotiating schedules or understanding expectations. When working, this skill is key to engaging with audiences and collaborating with teams. 3️⃣ Problem-Solving: From handling unexpected situations with children to crafting creative solutions to challenges, au pairing strengthens problem-solving skills that transfer directly to campaign management and strategy development. 4️⃣ Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Understanding the needs of the children and the family taught me to see things from different perspectives—a crucial ability for connecting with diverse audiences and creating compelling marketing messages. To those considering stepping out of their comfort zones, I say: Do it 😊. You never know how your seemingly unrelated experiences might become your biggest assets in the professional world. #AuPairExperience #MarketingSpecialist #SkillsForSuccess #GrowthJourney
