Nikoleta grew up in Greece working as a professional photographer before embarking on a move to the United States. Traveling abroad for the first time without speaking any English, she was driven by her desire to live the American dream and become an Au Pair. During her two years as an au pair, Nikoleta and her au pair friends frequently discussed the desire for people to know the real truths of being an au pair. This inspired Nikoleta to come up with the idea of writing about her stories and experiences. Through her writing, she aims to capture the wide range of perspectives she encountered among au pairs, from uplifting accounts to heartbreaking ones. Her hope is for readers to understand the other side of the job - having to leave everything and everyone behind to serve another family. No matter the hardships, she would do it again.
