I had the pleasure of working with Scotia personnel through my experience as an au pair one year in the states and following with six months in China I've always dreamed about traveling and experience another culture but never knew how or where to startI heard from college school mates and family and friends about this angency so naturally this was the way to goAnd I can't tell you enough how an amazing feeling it is to put ideas and dreams into reality
The Scotia personnel staff is very friendly, patient and incouraging when it comes to the process of getting ready to work and experience abroadAny questions I had they reassured me and helped me through my process so I was one step closer to being abroadThe best thing was they share the excitement of your adventures and incourages to keep pursing them I was blessed with two amazing host families and friendships with people despite having to part ways to our own countries once we where done, When the contract ends, we knew we would be life long friends despite the distance and time, cause sharing these kinds of experiences a hard to forget,
I highly recommend jumping in and starting the processes right away, they will help you through the applications, interviews, questions and of provided reassurance when you feel uncertainty when leaving your comfort space (your country and home)
I am still processing my Life changing experiences in just a short time period and I think I will be reflecting for the rest of my life , if it wasn't for this well established angency I may not have gotten to do all the experiences I got to do and for that I am very grateful
I wanted to take a minute to write about my experience au pairing in Spain with the help of Scotia Personnel.
I left for Madrid at the end of August in 2010, after having decided on Spain and au pairing after speaking with the staff at Scotia Personnel. I was really ecstatic to have found an economically savvy way to live extensively abroad.
The first months in Spain were incredibly rewarding and challenging at time, as is the case with anything new. I took language classes, explored the city and made many friends (many au pairs, as nearly all au pairs are eager to meet up and as such, getting to know people is not a problem).
In November, I decided to switch to another au pair family as I was interested in au pairing with a different age range. I continue to stay in contact with my second family. The mother regularly emails me photos of the girls and we exchange Christmas gifts by mail, she also offered to pay for my flight back to Spain should I ever want to au pair for the family again!
Around the same time, I met [redacted], who just so happens to be my husband as of last November!
Had I not au paired in Spain, my life today would be totally different, having never met many of my very close friends, new families or husband. Nor would I be able to speak the high level of Spanish I do. As a result of my time in Spain, I have also been able to expand my resume as a child care professional, tutor and ESL teacher.
Obviously, I recommend au pairing with Scotia Personnel to anyone who is looking to travel
