Hi everyone!
I’m moving to Germany next month as an au pair, and I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
The only thing that makes me a bit anxious is that my host family doesn’t really text unless there’s something important to discuss. Sometimes we go weeks without talking.
The last time we texted was about 20 days ago, when I sent them my flight details. Recently, I sent them a friendly message and then a few questions about kids school schedule, the daily routine, and some general things before my arrival.
They’ve never given me any reason to think they’re cancelling, but the long gaps in communication make me overthink sometimes.

Is this normal for German host families? Were your host families also quiet before you arrived, or did you chat regularly? 🥲

Hi everyone

I just wanted to ask if it’s normal for a host family to become a bit quiet right after matching?

We had a really good connection, they officially chose me, and everything seemed very positive. But after I brought up documents and visa preparation, the communication suddenly became much slower.

It’s only been a couple of days, so maybe I’m overthinking 😅
