    I'm a host parent here in America in the state of Ohio. I just want to say that my children and I are blessed and grateful for our Aupair❤ in my heart she is my Daughter! I will call our aupair BB because I don't want to use her real name without her knowing! BB is from the beautiful Country of Thailand. When BB first arrived it was a little stressful for BB not myself or my children! The culture change was a big shock for her! She also missed her beautiful family so very much! I was patient and understanding with BB! I was also blessed that my sister only lives 8 miles from me! So when I was working or traveling for work my sister would come over to help and comfort BB!...BB caught on very quickly. My message to host parents/parent please be kind and patient with your Aupair! Remember your Aupair is a young lady! She is coming into new Country, culture. Which can seem like a different planet! Please give her time to adjust. I can promise you she will make you proud! My children speak more Thai language in our home than English because they look up to BB so very much! They think her language is cool❤❤ We love BB so very much she is our family❤❤❤ she is so sweet and kind with a very loving heart! So please host parents remember your Aupair is a human with feelings and emotions just as you and I. They are not robots!! Also remember she isn't becoming Rich from being an Aupair so be generous with your aupair if you can afford to be! Most importantly show her love, kindness, respect! I promise she will do the same! I can't wait to watch BB grow and accomplish her goals and dreams! Give her the biggest hug! Also remember your Aupair is a young Woman! So please help to build her confidence! Especially if she is an Aupair in America. Because too many girls/Women in America are sexualized! There is too much pressures on young girls and women to believe they have to look what some of our society believes is sexy😑 So help to build the confidence or your Aupair let her know she is a beautiful person the way she already is because true beauty comes from within! Look out for your Aupair because there are many disrespectful disgusting men here in America! So lookout for her as she is your daughter, mother, sister!

      @@Becoming1306 I'm so grateful that your host family helped to make it a little easier for the culture shock! I'm grateful that BB has amazing friends that watch her back! Alog with myself. It's very sad here in America girls/ women are sexualized! On our television, magazine, in A lot of our music! In my opinion there are more pressures from society on girls/ women than Young men/ adult men. We have many disgusting men that don't even think twice to harass Girls! Even many sick so called gown men will harass youn teen girls😠 especially foreign girls! They think the girl can't understand what they say! I went to jail in May for protecting BB because some man in the mall was saying disgusting words to her😠 my father raised me to protect anyone who is being bullied or harassed. Especially a Girl/ Woman! It's very sad! A lot of American men who visit Thailand only go to look for a young girl😠 I'm ashamed by this! It's disgusting!! I hope you have never experienced this from a man! If you have I'm sorry from my heart. You deserve respect. I wish you peace, love, and happiness❤ Remember that you are beautiful the way you are! The best beauty comes from within!
