@rome.abroad Let’s talk about something real… We’ve heard the viral story of an au pair sneaking out in Italy in the middle of the night because host mom yelled at her. That’s not how it should be! When you go abroad without an agency, there’s no one in your corner. If things go south—like being yelled at for going out, unclear expectations, or no days off—you’re on your own. That’s why using an agency matters. At Rome Abroad, we match you with respectful host families, set clear boundaries before you arrive, and support you every step of the way. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to make sure you’re safe, heard, and respected while you live abroad and grow. If you’re thinking about au pairing—do it right. We’ve got you. #RomeAbroad #AuPairSupport #TravelWithConfidence #LiveAbroadSafely #GirlsWhoTravel #AuPairAbroad #CulturalExchange #TrustedTravel #TravelWithPurpose #ExploreWithSupport #lifeabroad ♬ original sound - Rome Abroad | Au Pair Agency
