2018 Au Pair of the Year Finalist
Nadia, au pair from Italy, living in Georgia
From the moment that Nadia arrived, she has diligently become the missing piece in our family’s puzzle. She has brought understanding, kindness, intelligence, motivation, patience and empathy to our children. She has been a friend and confidant to our twelve-year-old daughter, Gabriella. She listens to her joys and fears, helps her navigate the complexity of social media and is teaching her to respect and keep a positive image of herself. For all of them, I often find positive supportive notes that she writes to them. She leaves them in their lunch boxes, on their bedside tables and in their bags. She continues to stay genuinely engaged with all of the children while making friends and demonstrating a healthy way to explore, grow and develop on her own.
