Songs and other media (such as children's shows and movies) can be used to help them improve their children's English in interesting ways.

Laura wrote: "I would love to talk to my host family about our cultures. I can show them pictures and video of my country and tell them about our customs and traditions. If they are interested, I will make German food for them and try to introduce them to German language, culture and music.

I'm also happy to answer any questions from them.

The reason why I want to join au pair program is that I want to broaden my cultural horizon and have the opportunity to participate in a different way of life which i havn't had before. I've spent a lot of time with my kids, teaching them, being with them, and I've always enjoyed it.

I have always been interested in culture and language, so I believe being an au pair in China will be an opportunity to learn about a culture (customs, traditions) that I am not familiar with."
