Fitness and Health
We know that one concern au pairs have before coming to the US is gaining weight!
The added sugar and other sweeteners in our American food is one reason some au pairs gain weight. Au Pair’s also eat more restaurant, take out and drive through foods. These are higher in calorie and fat. Your change in schedule and less time to exercise all combine to make an au pair gain weight. The good news is you can prevent this and even start a healthy lifestyle that will continue well beyond this one au pair year. (excerpt from http://blogs.aupairinamerica.com/atr/)
Your time in the US can be full of fun activities, great food and a healthy lifestyle. This helps you feel your best when caring for kids – you will need that energy.
