Tarryn's Cincinnati Experience

Meet Tarryn Hick from NSW, who just returned from Cincinnait. Tarryn said "Halfway though my year I had forgotten that I only met these people 6 months ago..."

Why did you want to be an Au Pair?

 I was interested in becoming an Au Pair as I already worked in the Childcare industry, I wanted to travel, gain new experiences, have new stories to tell, meet new people and create some amazing memories. I found a great opportunity to do all of that and I definitely got what I set out for, and more.

Was there any particular holiday or event you were interested in?

 I was really excited to see how big Halloween was in America, and boy was it big…

I dressed up with my host family in the “Incredibles” outfits, all seven of us and marched the streets. All the families were dressed up and the houses were decorated so well, it was a great experience.

What was your host family like?

 My host family were awesome, they had the best sense of humour and I was always in stitches laughing with them.

 At the end of the day I would spend a bit of time with them  talking, laughing and planning things to come.

What did you miss the most?

 The thing I missed most from Australia would be the food!!! Lamb cutlets… My family and friends too, but the food for sure.

Do you recommend this programme to others?

 I absolutely recommend this programme to others, it was a fantastic experience, one that I will never forget. It made me a much more responsible and mature person, I have made so many happy memories.

Half way through my year I had forgotten that I only met these people 6 months ago. It felt like I had known them my whole life. I have many stories and experiences that I will treasure forever.
