weight limit or preference?

I’ve been wanting to become an au pair for a while now, but one thing that’s been making me hesitate is about my weight. Is there any kind of weight limit for au pairs? Or do host families generally prefer applicants who aren’t overweight?

I’m overweight but otherwise healthy, active, and fully capable of other skills needed. I know being an au pair involves being energetic and hands-on, and I have no problem with that. I’m just worried that my weight might make it harder for me to match with a host family, even if there isn’t an official requirement.

Has anyone here been an overweight au pair or matched with a host family despite being overweight? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice because I don’t want my insecurity to stop me from pursuing something I would like to experience. Thank you!
