"What I love with Washington is that the sea is right next to the mountains and on a clear day you can see the mountains (volcanos) behind the ocean: The best thing are the sunsets it looks like a monet drawing every single day. One of my favorite memories here, is seeing the Olympic National Park for the first time. It was so amazing to see a rainforest that's not tropical and I totally get why people tell stories about Sasquatches (Bigfoot). I would recommend it to people who love nature and hiking!"

You’ll find beaches, lakes, national parks and mountains all around you, as well as a pretty waterfront in Seattle with one of the oldest market (Pike Place Market) in the USA. The summer is warm and sunny, which will allows you to enjoy the outside, and in the winter you’ll find a lot of indoor activities available and a lot of winter sports close by."

“The best thing about being an Au Pair is to leave my comfort zone.
As well as experience things I had always wanted to do, meet people and cultures different from mine, make a good connection with my host family and grow more as a person with the different experiences of day to day. It has changed the way I see life, because it has made me feel safer so that I think that everything I want I can achieve."
— Evelin, au pair from Mexico
