I am Alexandra Rader, Director and Founder of Best in Family
I have dual Spanish and American citizenship, so I have always tried to take advantage of the opportunity to use both languages in my professional career.
Being an Au Pair in Italy opened many paths for me, thanks to that experience I learned Italian and I had the opportunity to continue traveling and working as a language tutor in New York-United States and in Münster-Germany and being a Youth Counselor in an American Tourist Cruise Line Company working with children of different nationalities while visiting places like Alaska, Patagonia Argentina – Ushuaia (called the end of the world), Antarctica, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Bermuda, crossed the Panama Canal and visited many other places of the American continent and the world.
I always talk about the importance of learning languages and the doors that open around the world. Having languages is one of the most demanded professional skills and valued in a selection process to cover a job. Knowing how to speak other languages means being able to break all the barriers that languages put us to communicate, and have many more opportunities in all senses.
From my personal experience I wanted to carry out this project to help other young people to live this wonderful experience of living and learning abroad, which without a doubt, changes your life forever, because it is a unique experience where in addition to learning Languages, meet other cultures, travel, meet new friends, exchange experiences, and improve your Curriculum for a future job career.
I know what a young person feels like outside their family environment and I know how important it is to want to be informed and feel in a safe environment, so I want to provide as much information as possible so that both the young person traveling abroad and the Host Family feel totally confident.
