Hi!

I’m interested in working as an au pair as a sort of gap year thing after graduating from college. I have a lot of experience working with kids and I’ve lived abroad multiple times. That is to say, Im not worried about those parts of the job.

The one thing im worried about is navigating my own dietary restrictions as a hopeful au pair. I am vegan and I’m worried that host families would pass me up because of that. I can’t control that part, but as I’m not expecting to work with a vegan family, would there be a chance a host family lets me cook for myself? Or is it expected that au pairs eat the same food as the family? Is there anyone else who is vegan who worked as an au pair and could share their experience?

Thanks
