The Official Revamp Post


To my readers,

When I started this blog I had the brilliant idea to inform future au pairs about what to expect and how to become an au pair.  While I continue to think this is a worthwhile idea, I’m refocusing my blog. Of course, if you have questions about au pairing, you can still contact me, but my blog entries will no longer be geared toward au pairs.

There are other resources available for new au pairs. You can always comb the internet with your favorite search engine, but these are my tops picks for resources.

Au Pair Garden is an agency for au pairs and host families. They also have a blog full of useful information for future au pairs.

AYUSA was my agency. For those of you interested in au pairing in Germany, I highly recommend using them.

Au Pairs in Berlin is a facebook group that connects au pairs from all over the world who are working in Berlin. It’s a great way to meet new people. (If you aren’t working in Berlin, I suggest you search facebook for au pair groups for your city. There are plenty.)

There are many more resources out there, but these are my personal recommendations.  Make sure you always double check any information found on websites like these with government regulations for your destination country.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors whether or not you decide to become an au pair.

As ever,

Cheers and thanks for reading.

Under Construction!

As you might have noticed, I haven't posted for a while. Give me just a little longer, and you'll be in for a surprise!
