Au Pairs from Bucks County Get Noticed

Au Pairs come from around the world to provide live-in childcare for busy families. Two Au Pairs from Bucks County were nominated by their host families for prestigious International Au Pair of the Year Award. We are very proud that a local Au Pair from Newtown was one of the chosen nominees.

Adriana Zhang, an Au Pair from China, is  a 2014 Au Pair in Excellence Nominee. Adriana lives with a family in Newtown, Bucks County, and she is taking care of four children under the age of six. Adriana's host family appreciates and loves her. Here is what her host mom had to say about her: “Adriana has been a tremendous asset to our family. She is hard working and has a wonderful attitude and work ethic. My life has been made more manageable because of her help with the daily routines of my children. …Adriana goes beyond, like fixing my girls in cute hairstyles and teaching them Chinese songs and dance.” Adriana is the 3rd Au Pair from the Go Au Pair agency in this family. They are looking forward to hosting a new Au Pair when Adriana's time is up.

Adriana is a great candidate for the Au Pair of the Year Award because not only does she do a great job with her family in Newtown, she also is very active within her cluster. She is always the first to volunteer and is very welcoming to Au Pairs that have just arrived to the US. Adriana even teaches a ESL class at her church.
