Your page made my day, it's hilarious! I've been an au-pair in Spain and can totally relate ahaha, thanks for posting and sharing! :D

thanks! I have the dark feeling that ALL au-pairs can relate to this :)

OY That's it. Closing this blog down. I just arrived at home, after 550 days of being an Au-Pair. Enough with GIFs about my saturday morning struggles and about kids half your size yelling at you. Share it with your fellow au-pair friends who definitely struggle the same way as I did and as probably all of you who reblogged and liked my stuff did ;) (Maybe don't share it with people who are thinking of doing an Au-Pair year though hehe)

seeya on the flip side.

Where can I get the biggest suitcase for the smallest price?

I live in NY, could definitely shop for one in NYC, don't want it shipped to me. Please. Help. So. Much. Stuffffff.

Hi when do you finish your au pair placement? I'm looking into being an au pair in France or America and im skyping a french family on Sunday, do you have any tips on what to say or ask?

Hi!I matched with my host family about 5 months before I actually arrived. Tips:

- be yourself (as obvious as it sounds)

- ask LOTS of questions (about the kids, the area, family habits, trips, etc.)

- don't hesitate telling them your fears/what you worry about (be honest)

- don't get nervous just because their English is (most likely) SO much better than yours - it's cool.
