Is this my house? Are these my 3 rambunctious kids all playing happily? As I walked into the playroom, the walls were covered in artwork, my kids were playing games yet all other toys were put away, there was an activity board full of stickers and accolades and not one kid was crying or complaining. As a matter of fact, nowadays my kids really only complain about not being able to spend more time with Ann.

What impressed me the most about Une was her eagerness and willingness to jump on a plane to come 18 hours away from her home into a family that she only knew via email and Skype, and that she was not intimidated whatsoever by the fact that we had five children and the sixth on the way. Her boldness and positive attitude have stood out since day one, not to mention her gentleness and loving ways with the children

When I ask my children what they like about Hanna, they say things like she stops us when we fight, she never yells, and she plays the Homework game with us.

Being a brand new mom, there were times when juggling a full time job and the demands of a newborn were daunting both emotionally and physically.Every single time without fail when I was at the end of my rope, Dani was there to rock our crying infant to sleep, surprise us with a homemade dinner, or organize some part of our home that had been neglected.

There is love you's laughter flying around my house. I see her running after my four-year-old or being tackled by my eleven-year-old. I see in everything she does that she loves my kids. She talks to them like a big sister and cares for each of them in ways specific to their needs even if that means being firm in a challenging moment.

I love having Dijana in our home because she is not thought of as help but as part of the family. She and I have a wonderful relationship. She knows what I expect and I know what she expects. And she's always a step ahead of me.

Cata is the au pair of our dreams, except we wouldn't have known to dream this big. My husband and I are very blessed to have three wonderful kids “ 4, 2, and 8 months and two great jobs. However, with these blessings come, well, an insane schedule. And before our au pair, Cata, arrived, we were drowning.
