We have been hosting for 4 years and have always hosted a young gap year German. We need a change. I just matched with a 23 yr old brazillian who is very sweet and hardworking. Great recommendation from host mom. Can anyone give me some feedback on hosting a girl from Brazil? She’s very religious and does not drink. She has a serous bf that she met at church.
I’m looking forward to the change and the match happened pretty quickly. Fill me in! |

I have hosted mostly Brazilian APs and I loved them. I am not sure what your exact question is? It seems like you are getting an extension AP? if so you shouldn't have languages and driving issues most families might encounter with out of country Brazilian APs, none of my Brazilian APS were the same, none was religious and none had a bf, however I have matched for August with another Brazilian AP who is religious and has a serious BF. I go for Brazilian APs because they are warm and tend to be older with a lot of experience. |

None of my Brazilians had experience. But they were lovely ladies and great au pairs and roommates.
Just some random thoughts in no order. They are sophisticated Fashion and trend experts Take great care of themselves On social media a lot Seems to really want to perfect their English to Make a better living back home Great roommates Tend to stick with other Brazilian au pairs and not venture out None were religious despite it being a huge Catholic country None were partiers despite the reputation A couple were here to find husbands. But so what. Good drivers. The no winter driving experience never been an issue. I work at home on snow days and that didn’t fight me on no driving when conditions weren’t good. Good luck. One of my Ex Brazilians is one of my best friends now. And a very close family friend and lives nearby (married and American) |

Hosted 3 Brazilians. 2 were very religious -- Mormons. So no problems drinking/partying with drugs. 21, worked in preschools/elementary back home -- want to improve their English to get better jobs in international schools. Spent every Sunday in church all day.
Brazilians love children. I did not have them drive so no qualms there -- i gave them a bus/metro ticket and a ride-share allowance. They would have loved to have found husbands here but they were very attached to their families back home. |

| OP, by any chance your AP is coming from the Atlanta area? |
