CUIDA: Personal Growth and Mutual Support in Your Au Pair Year

26/09/2025

Personal growth during your Au Pair gap year

Becoming an Au Pair is not only about caring for children, it's also about caring for yourself. It's a year that challenges you to grow, to build independence, and to discover strengths you didn't know you had. When you take this step with your best friend, that growth is multiplied.

👉 Join the Bono Dúo Bon Voyage and start preparing your growth journey together.

At Bon Voyage, we call this CUIDA  (Self-care), growth, and mutual support. With the Bono Dúo, you and your best friend can walk this path together, each in your own host family, but always supporting one another.

Learning together, growing stronger

You'll both face new routines: learning a language, adapting to a different family, finding your way in Dutch culture. Alone, these challenges can feel heavy. Together, they become opportunities. You motivate each other to keep practicing, remind each other to stay positive, and laugh about mistakes instead of fearing them.

Independence with a safety net

Every Au Pair is placed in her own host family, with her own daily responsibilities. Yet, having your best friend nearby makes all the difference. She becomes your mirror, celebrating your progress, helping you see your strengths, and reminding you how far you've come.

👉 Prepare together, grow together 

Growth that lasts a lifetime

This year abroad isn't just about cultural exchange; it's about personal development. You'll return home with resilience, confidence, and empathy qualities that will shine in your studies, your career, and your relationships. And the best part? You'll always have your best friend as the witness of that transformation.

Each of you will live in a different family, but you'll prepare together, support each other during the challenges, and share reflections that only you two can understand.
