Olá meninas!!
Decidi fazer esse arquivo para ajudar uma as outras em relação as nossas conversas com as host families pelo skype. Esse é um momento super delicado, que a "futura" au pair quase entra em parafuso, pois não sabe o que perguntar e muito menos as vezes o que responder a certas perguntas. Então, aqui voce poderá pegar algumas perguntas e desde já ir treinando. Seja sozinha, ou com aquela amiga que esta embarcando no mesmo sonho com voce.
