Hi, My name is Larissa Feigl. I’m 20 years old and originally from Berlin, Germany. I’m the oldest of 4 kids back home — my sisters are 11 and 13 and my brother is 15. I finished high school in July 2008 and decided to go to America right afterwards to be an au pair. So now I’m here, living in Massachusetts and enjoying my life as an au pair with my great host family. I’m watching three kids: Olivia who is 5 years old, Audrey who is 3 and last but not least there is Henry. He was born the first day I came to my new home, and now he is almost one year old and the cutest baby around! I love them all they’re great! I’m so glad I don’t have to leave yet because I’ve extended my year until July of 2010. I hope I can give advice to other au pairs about things like how to pick the right family, travel tips, school credits, monthly meetings, housework, arts and crafts, safety and more. Greets, Larissa
