Being an au pair made me ready to take on any challenge set in front of me.
—Tove Meyer
All Cultural Care au pairs live with a host family, take college courses, earn money each week, and learn valuable skills caring for their host children. During time off, au pairs are free to travel anywhere they’d like to see in the U.S.! Not to mention all the valuable educational and professional knowledge they gain that looks great on any resumé.
IT’S MORE THAN JUST TIME ABROAD
When Tove arrived with the Telleen family, she felt right at home. She connected with her host children immediately and fell in love with the family. Tove met two other au pairs living near the Telleens and they are still her best friends to this day. Almost two decades later, she’s been back to visit her host family twice, and her host child, Claire (now 18), will be staying with Tove while she visits Sweden this summer.
YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF AND GROW AS A PERSON
In America, Tove gained a stronger sense of self and her confidence soared. She enjoyed being out on her own, taking care of her host children, and coming into her own. This confidence not only helped her transform as a person, but helped to define her future career.
TAKE COURSES, CREATE RELATIONSHIPS, AND BEGIN YOUR CAREER
While she was an au pair, Tove wrote and sent several short stories into a writing competition and was published! She later went on to devote her studies and career to Journalism. Since her au pair years, Tove studied journalism at university and now works for the largest late-night television network in Sweden. Tove is now an author of several books.

My dream is to study in Germany in 2024 🙂 Berlin or Frankfurt are my favorite cities.
