My name is Sofia, I am an American and Mexican au pair and I just moved to Paris. I am fluent in English, French and Spanish.

I moved to France from the US in February 2020 to be an au pair as I was in an odd period of my life where I did not know what to do with it... 🙃 I did know however that I wanted to live in France, as I had attended a French school back in the US for many years and learned French from an early age. In this way, the French language and culture have always been a part of my life, and I knew I wanted to reconnect with it after several years of being disconnected from it (since high school).

After my au pair experience, I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but I think I want to find a way to stay in France to continue my studies (masters) and work.

I hope to meet some of you interesting people in the near future!
