\"Quote\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a single parent with two boys, life can be chaotic. Enter my au pair, Taynan. From the moment my boys met him at the airport, I could see they had an incredible connection and that he would be perfect for my boys. He has been the most amazing au pair, adding incredible value to both my life and my two little 6.5-year-old boys. He is incredibly loving, kind, patient, creative, and respectful and can share and teach these beautiful character traits to my boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having an au pair is like having another mature big brother or sister, adult role model, teacher, and caregiver in the home. No matter what stage my kids have been in, this additional loving adult helps to keep the home running smoothly, and the kids feeling loved and supported at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taynan has brought his music, singing, and loving culture to my home, which has especially helped during times when my family needed calmness and peace. He pulls out his guitar and lulls my boys to sleep with songs from Brazil. He helps with every task to keep our home running smoothly, including supermarket shopping, finding new soccer sneakers, and getting my boys to their activities. Taynan has been a source of strength during trips to the hospital and has put plenty of bandaids on many booboos. Most of all, he is loving and kind and is another member of my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taynan has embraced my family, and in turn, we have included him in everything we do. Tay has shared his Portuguese with my boys, and now they love greeting him every day with \u201cTudo Bem?\u201d, meaning \u201cHow are you?\u201d My boys adore him, which makes my life better, and I can have some personal time away from home, knowing they are safe and loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having an au pair is the best decision any family can make, and I am so pleased that Au Pair USA has brought such an incredible person to my family and home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
