A typical American host family

by Larissa Feigl

I enjoy my life as an au pair in my great host family! I’m watching three kids. First of all there is Olivia, she’s 5 years and the oldest. She is starting Kindergarten next year. Besides school she takes swim, karate and soccer classes. Olivia is very smart, fun and always up for drawing, doing arts and crafts or playing baseball and football.

Audrey is 3 years old and just finished her first year of pre-school. She’s a typical girl and doesn’t wear her princess crown less then 6 days a week…except when she wears her sparkly headband instead. So of course, Audrey is taking dance classes but also swim and soccer classes. Audrey loves having tea parties, playing with her groovy girls, dancing or making pictures with stickers.

Last but not least there is Henry. He was born the first day I arrived to my new home! He is 11 months old and the cutest baby around! He brings a lot of fun to the family! He loves taking tubs, so his favorite room has become…the bathroom! He always sneaks back in there and you’ll have to catch him before he plays in the toilet. He is getting so good at crawling and standing, and he’ll probably be walking soon. I can’t wait to hear him talking! It’s a lot of fun for me watching him growing up!
