Why are Filipina Au pairs popular

Au pairs from the Philippines are the most popular au pairs, for many reasons. Filipinas are friendly, loyal, positive, hardworking, motivated, independent, show initiative and are very kind to children and respectful to elderly.

As you know, in the Philippine culture it is custom and normal to have the care of your younger brothers and sisters and cousins, nephews and nieces at a very young age. Even the children are involved in the household at a very young age. Taking care of others is therefore easy and comes naturally. Futhermore many Filipinas are highly educated and can speak good English.

Nowadays, busy families experience it as an enormous challenge to preserve the balance within the family, work, children and spare time. They need a reliable person in the house that helps bring back the peace in the house.

The world is getting smaller and getting to know a different culture and language even enriches the life of a small child.
They learn to have respect and appreciation for other habits and they learn the English language easily.
