Why I want to be an Au Pair

I would like to become an au pair for the rewarding experiance of caring for children as well as teaching them new things, it's a passion I have always had and would like to expand. I have a passion for travel and this is also a way to expand that interest, of course exploration comes second to caring for the children.
