Aupaircoffee

In this episode of AuPairCoffee, Clara sits down with Matea, an Austrian au pair living in Denver, Colorado. She shares her unique experience of living with very young host parents and caring for a baby—while the family is already expecting their next child! From adjusting to their dynamic to embracing the challenges of being an au pair in a growing household, Matea gives us a glimpse into her everyday life. But that’s not all! Matea also answers some of the biggest questions future au pairs might have. Do you really need a car as an au pair, or can you manage without one? Are all host families as wealthy as they seem on social media? And how do you actually choose the right agency? She also talks about how much her English has improved since moving to the U.S. and how taking college credits—like a course at Disney World in Orlando—has shaped her experience. Beyond the au pair life, Matea dives into cultural differences, like why dinner is the biggest meal of the day in the U.S. ️, the struggle of making American friends, and the surprising freedom of being 21+ in the States. She even shares the small but unexpected adjustments—like realizing you’re *allowed* to turn right at a red light! And, of course, we talk about one of the most nerve-wracking moments for any au pair: those first few days with a brand-new host family. From settling in to building connections, Matea gives her best advice on making the transition smooth.
