2018 Host Family of the Year Finalist
The Conklin family, a host family in Virginia
The Conklin family stole my heart from the beginning. They are very supportive and make me feel as a part of the family. I am always invited to different kinds of family events, birthday parties, Thanksgiving celebration, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Every day we sit by the table and eat dinner together, which is my favorite part of the day. It also reminds me of dinner with my family back in Poland. I love that they are so involved in cultural exchange and they always show me typical things, traditions or meals from the United States. They’re very curious of Polish traditions too!
I am the happiest au pair in the world that I am spending my time in the United States with the Conklin family.
