[quote=Anonymous]We recently matched with an Austrian au pair. I noticed that many Au pairs come from Austria and Germany and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with what American cultural norms were the most challenging for young people coming from this area. I want to make my new Au pair's transition a smooth one, so any insights into what things might have been appreciated by your Austrian Au pair (as compared to their home country) and/or what kinds of things were more challenging for them with respect to cultural differences. I'm not looking for cultural stereotypes, but rather what was relevant with your particular Austrian Au pair. Given the large number of Au pairs from this area, it would be interesting to see if there are any commonalities in different host parents' experiences. Again, I'm looking to make positive preparations (rather than compile "red flag" generalities about any particular culture). Thanks in advance. [/quote]
