I’m happy to hear your experience is going well though

I did not get a visa; choosing instead to just come for the allotted 3 months that Americans are allowed. If, at the end of the 3 months, my host family and I love each other, then they might apply for the paperwork and send it back with me so I can apply for a work visa. I think getting a visa takes at least 2-3 weeks but many times even longer than that, and it is difficult to get one unless you are a student applying for a student visa. Good luck!

I am very lucky to have an absolutely wonderful host family – they treat me well, I do not have to do any cleaning, and they are paying me 300 Euro a week! Looking back though, I should have done more research before jumping on a plane and coming. I was fortunate but I can see how many au pairs get exploited. I love your blog!

I am hopefully going to Italy soon as well!
One problem I’ve run into is getting a visa, was it difficult for you to get one? How long did it take approximately?
