Au pair shall be considered as family members and should be treated as such. The au pair and the host family should eat meals together.

kami tidak membedakan antara kami dengan au-pair karena semua mempunyai hak yang sama, saling menghormati,saling toleransi dan mempunyai rasa kekeluargaan yang kental.

The most important task of our aupair is to become a real friend and a big sister of our two kids. This can only be achieved when you do your "work" with your heart.
