Advice on how to speak to my au pair host family

[BMAUpair]

Hello! I am an au pair in Italy currently, in a very small rural village with no other au pairs and little to no english speakers here. It is also very quiet and I feel extremely isolated and alone. My host family are so lovely and accommodating and I feel asolutely awful about this, but I have found a new family in Florence that look to be so much more suited to me. The area of the new host family is also very lively and multicultural! Long story short- I would like some advice on the best way to let my current family know that I would like to change families in the next month without them being completely offended and want to kick me out on the street. I am so grateful to how kind they have been but for my own mental health I really feel I need to change. Am I a horrible person? Please help!!

You’re not a terrible person. It’s your responsibility to do the best for yourself and that sounds like an awful situation. Just be honest, tell them you’re lonely where you are and feel isolated and while you’re absolutely grateful for the time you’ve spent with them, you will be moving on, and give adequate notice

I think it's best you simply explain to them what you have written there. Explain they have been lovely but you'd like to be somewhere with a bit more people. They'll be sad, but I'm sure they won't be offended at that.
