Congratulations to the Bahal family from New Jersey, our 2019 Host Family of the Year winner! Joining them in September of 2018 from Germany, au pair Ninja was compelled to nominate the Bahal’s for being so much more than a host family to her.

“I arrived in the USA in September 2018 to begin my adventure as an Au Pair. Little did I know a new, amazing chapter of my life had begun. From the minute I arrived the Bahal’s have treated me with all the love and warmth a family could possibly treat you. Now, 10 months later, they are not just my Host Family anymore, they are my family! Living thousands of miles from my home country I have found an other home and the missing piece of my family.” – Ninja H.

Congratulations also go to the Sorenson and Temmer families, our 2019 runner-up winners in the Host Family of the Year Contest. Follow the link for each family to discover why their au pair’s nominated them for this prestigious award!
