Dear Family

Hiiii!!!

The history begins when I have received an email from my agency Go Au Pair inviting to nominate each host family as the best in the 2017 year.

OF COURSE I NOMINATED MY FAMILY

Here is the letter that I have send and my video too, enjoy it

Im sorry dear Koenig Family today (09-12-2017) the agency choose just 10 family for the final and We aren't there but I want show you what I did....

because the print is crazy right now I put it on my blog.

"I nominate my dear KOENIG family as the Host Family in Excellence Award because I can’t believe how they have change  my life. I am not only the Au Pair, I’m part of their family. They have made it possible for me to live the American culture as a member of the family, my host mom and host dad are my friends and my second parents. The two are very concerned about my well-being as a person and as a loved one within this family. Dad and Mom always talk to me and we have long conversations about culture, feelings and goals; conversations that you have only with family. I even talk about dating and boys with my mom

My host kids are the best, they are 3 years old, 2 years old and 8 months old; I sometimes I feel they are my brothers. I feel they are my children and they are always my angels, and when they take their naps they ask me to lie down next to them until they fall asleep. My host family is the best because they treat me like a professional and trust me and my children trust and let me guide them. In this short time thanks to my Mom and Dad, I am another authority figure at home at all times which is very helpful when you take care of children. My children are learning Spanish and they know 4 songs and around 50 words or more in Spanish; I love to teach them, they are beautiful, they do not eat dinner if I am not at the table because they feel like they're missing someone. 

My host family has not only been dedicated to fulfilling the objectives of the program but they have surpassed all the expectations; they are very responsible and always try to help me learn new things about family, culture, language and having best experience as an Au Pair. I am very grateful to my host family because we have shared fun, sad, exciting and boring moments together, and this is the most valuable thing for me. My first trip with the family was to celebrate their wedding anniversary and it was beautiful, we went on vacation and my host dad drove all the way there and gave me a plane ticket back home with my host mom and baby, we passed as much time with family as possible: I am grateful to the family of my host family, uncles and aunts, grandpas and grandmothers who also treat me as part of the family and take care of me and are interested in my culture and my goals. My host family took me to meet my grandmother to present me formally too. My mom cooks delicious food and always teaches me new recipes, and when they go to the grocery store they ask me what I want them to buy me, when they return at home they always bring me something special to surprise me. Every time when we go on a trip they try to make sure everyone enjoy doing activities that usually, I've never done before. 

I have many anecdotes with my host family, one of them was the snow in May, that surprised me because I did not have clothes for winter and my host mom lent everything that I needed. In our two week vacation in North Dakota my dad, grandpa and my mom taught me to waterski, the next day my body was so sore!. They always take me to dinner with them in restaurants and they suggest handmade beers made in our state of Colorado or the best dishes and desserts that they have in that place. 

My dad is a lot of fun and my mom too, so we always have funny times, we went Hicking and each one takes a kid and loads them to get all to the tops of the mountains, climbing mountains with kids on your back has been something I never imagined to do and as tiring that sounds, I've never had as much fun as in those moments. When my host kids hug me or tell me they love me, when my host family prays for me, when we all give a good night hug, when we share videos of children doing funny things, they are small details that make me feel at home. 

Every time my dad or mom comes home from work my children and I go out to meet them at the door with hugs and it's something that fills me with emotion, knowing what my parents are striving for in their jobs for us, why they love us. 

This nomination will be a surprise to them because they deserve it, I love them very much and even though I'm not a good writer, I want to express all the good feelings I have for them or how much I love my Koenig family."

Love you so much
