La m\u00eda no, y precisamente por eso quer\u00eda contarla.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Soy Michele, tengo 24 a\u00f1os y soy de Italia. Antes de esta experiencia, nunca hab\u00eda estado tanto tiempo lejos de mi pa\u00eds. Un d\u00eda decid\u00ed dar el paso y hacerme au pair, y eleg\u00ed <strong>Masons Au Pair<\/strong> para venir a China durante un a\u00f1o entero.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Para ser sincero, el principio no fue f\u00e1cil. La barrera del idioma, una cultura diferente y un tipo de trabajo completamente nuevo llegaron a la vez. Pero cre\u00ed en ello cada d\u00eda, intent\u00e9 dar lo mejor de m\u00ed y, al final, lo consegu\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Una familia anfitriona que parec\u00eda perfecta sobre el papel<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Mi historia empieza con una familia anfitriona que, sobre el papel, parec\u00eda perfecta para lo que yo buscaba. Por desgracia, la realidad fue diferente. Desde el principio not\u00e9 que no hab\u00eda conexi\u00f3n con el ni\u00f1o, y hubo varios malentendidos con los padres sobre cu\u00e1l era realmente mi papel como au pair.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Despu\u00e9s de un mes y medio, la familia y yo tomamos una decisi\u00f3n conjunta: ya no ten\u00eda sentido continuar. No hubo dramas ni culpables, solo el reconocimiento sincero de que la relaci\u00f3n no funcionaba para ninguna de las dos partes.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Cuando la familia no encaja<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Es uno de los momentos que m\u00e1s temen los au pairs antes de salir: \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasa si no te llevas bien con tu familia anfitriona, a miles de kil\u00f3metros de casa?<\/p>\n\n  <p>Para m\u00ed, la respuesta fue la agencia. Una vez m\u00e1s, Masons Au Pair intervino para ayudarme y, en solo tres d\u00edas, ya ten\u00eda una nueva familia. Sin vuelo de vuelta a casa, sin semanas de incertidumbre, sin empezar todo de cero.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"callout\">\n    <p><strong>3 d\u00edas<\/strong> \u2014 es lo que tard\u00f3 Masons Au Pair en encontrarme una nueva familia anfitriona.
