Chinese Au Pair, Jolin Sun, won national recognition in the 2019 Love My Au Pair Contest after her Host Family nominated her as the best Au Pair in the U.S.
The family lives in Prince William County and cites Jolin’s “kindness, compassion, and unwavering patience,” as well as her flexibility with scheduling, as examples of Jolin’s exemplary job as their Au Pair.
“But,” the family adds, “Jolin’s impact on our family goes way beyond her ability to accommodate change. It’s her incredible dedication to our kids’ welfare that has really amazed us.”
Tom, Jolin’s Host Dad, decided to nominate her as the best Au Pair in the U.S. because “she has gone above and beyond since her first day.” He says she’s enriched his family’s life “in countless ways,” and they’re thankful for her presence in their home.
Jolin’s stay has gone far beyond the fulfillment of a basic childcare need. While visiting her family back home in China, she purchased “special Chinese outfits for both the girls.” She has been teaching the children to speak Mandarin, and they’ve also been learning about Chinese art, food, and music.
“Jolin also plays the guzheng,” Tom says, “… The kids (and the whole family) love listening to [her] beautiful music as well as teaching us to play a few songs, too.”
The experience Jolin and her Host Family have had truly exemplifies the heart of the Au Pair program, which is regulated under the J-1 Visa. The purpose of the program is to facilitate cultural exchange and build a strong relationship that lasts well after the Au Pair goes home.
This family and Au Pair have certainly had a heartwarming experience; their story was so moving, their nomination won Go Au Pair’s 2019 Love My Au Pair Contest.
“To say that Jolin has changed our lives for the better is a complete understatement,” Tom adds. “We are truly blessed to have someone as unique, warm, and wonderful as Jolin.”
