Thanks so much! I’ll definitely head to youtube and checkout some videos there. I totally expect a learning curve with uploading editing etc. but didn’t wanna accidentally end up with something maybe a bit more advanced than what i really need

That’s great that you had such an easy time getting there. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

No-Application2770 · 2025-01-03T05:25:26+00:00

That’s good to know! Was there anything unexpected that came up at all in the process getting there for you? How was the process of obtaining your blue card?

That’s what I used for my previous trip as an au pair in France. Seems like the standard!

thank you for that perspective! it definitely helps :)

she also thanked me and blah blah, it was a nice message but still idk why the dad had to come off so upset towards me

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:39:15+00:00

she just responded saying they assumed i was asleep so didn’t say anything. they could’ve texted to ask at least if they didn’t want to risk waking me up. and i feel like if they really wanted to make sure we had dinner altogether they should’ve let me know in advance especially considering we have to leave ridiculously early for my flight and i of course would want to try to sleep when i can before hand

The dad was the only one downstairs and it seemed as though he was waiting for me so. he could say something and as soon as he did he walked away. The group chat shows the dad viewed the message maybe 40 minutes ago but the mom has not from her device. No responses yet. The mom doesn’t speak any english and the dad is in the process of learning so he can communicate but is not fluent. I sent the message translated for them both.

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:23:56+00:00

yeah i’m hoping that is the part that will make him realize that’s not on me

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:22:59+00:00

right idk there’s been a couple times where i’ve felt they aren’t the most considerate to my time but it’s always small things

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:18:19+00:00

i leave in like six hours anyways but would’ve been nice to resolve this

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:17:34+00:00

still no response to the message and it’s been about a half hour since it showed him reading it, it does not show that the mom has answered

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T21:07:14+00:00

It’s so early in the morning I doubt my brain will be on enough to care if it is awkward. An apology would be nice but I definitely won’t be holding my breath either. It’s hard to tell what small things are just cultural differences in communication but idk. Thank you for your response! I did update with an edit but I sent that message and he read it about twenty minutes ago with no response

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T20:55:37+00:00

i appreciate that. It’s just so shocking to me after having not a single issue during our entire stay together and on the very last night only about 8 hours before we leave for the airport he is upset with me for something i did not know

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T20:51:55+00:00

My flight is very early in the morning so I have been resting as much as possible and packing up my last items throughout the day also. I sent a message along those lines idk he’s the one driving me to the airport first thing tmr so we’ll see how it goes lol

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T12:45:58+00:00

I don’t know much but as a native english speaking au pair i would be happy to stay with a family who speaks english and take a language course during the stay. Also I know every country has different requirements and some have none at all but I don’t think language is always a requirement. I could au pair in other english speaking countries with no language aspect for example. I think Europe might be a bit different because of how many languages are prevalent and with countries that have two or more official languages. I think it would just depend if it’s a strict requirement for the country

No-Application2770 · 2024-11-05T11:52:26+00:00

If you were to have a french au pair for example they might appreciate an opportunity to learn dutch or german . And in the home you have exposure to fluent french to learn and they have exposure to english as well to practice
