[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you should ask your LLC is there are host families who have had younger au pairs in the past and prefer an au pair who wants to spend lots of time with the family. You'll see posts on this board from host families who are frustrated that there au pairs only want to party and disappear the minute their childcare is over to go out with friends constantly. A host family who has had older au pairs who tend to be more independent or au pairs that have a large instant network of friends may be less inclined to include you in everything and assume you want your own time.

I agree with this.  You could definitely spin it as a plus that you wanted a host family that would include you more and you didn't feel included.  Also I like the last sentence - some host families aren't necessarily actively NOT including you, they may just assume that as a 21 year old you would rather have the time free to be out and about with friends.  Remember that even the best every host family is going to have no knowledge of who you are or what you want in the first few months - you have to communicate.[/quote]
