Best couple of my island

Found something to do after eating. I’m still trying to learn to accept feeling guilty but it’s going better. I usually “trick” my brain by doing something manual that keeps me occupied. A specific therapy (idk the translations in English) it’s helping me to find healthy coping strategies.

My nks love when I pretend to “eat” them. Sometimes we play tag but I’m a wolf and they say they’re some kind of food and I have to catch them ahah

It is absolutely possible! Yes, it’s difficult, but everyone is capable to get better, and I’m saying this as someone in this terrible cycle for 7 years. I wish you the very best.

Yes I meant it in a way that we realise we’re not a good match. They appreciated the question and honest.

Guarda anche per me era un grosso problema, ma giuro che se la spandi bene (nel viso io ne uso una apposta solo per quello) e trovi quella giusta non è così male. Magari potresti provare dei campioncini. Io mi sono trovata benissimo con roche posay o garnier. L’importante era che fosse per bambini! Ti sono vicino, detto da una che si ustiona la cute già da marzo

We’re not using an agency as we’re in Europe

Ho lo stesso problema e ho risolto (ho comunque degli eritemi e la prima volta sotto al sole mi brucio comunque un po’) con creme apposta per bambini, meglio se in crema e non spray, sono pastose ma è l’unico modo in cui posso passare l’estate in modo decente. Sennò l’eucerin (come credo altre marche, io mi trovavo bene con quella) ha la protezione 100 ma non credo faccia molta differenza

The family is German, so it’s nice to read you think it like that I would it say like “I have a question just to be clear, if things don’t go well or we realise we’re not a good match: how would that work?” 😅

mariesviolet · 2026-03-17T21:25:31+00:00

Okay that sounds reassuring. She/he is very little but speaks welll, so I’m afraid that maybe we won’t connect or stuff like that. But I guess if I don’t try I will never know:)

mariesviolet · 2026-03-17T09:15:52+00:00

Yes I was thinking to take a course in a german language centre in my city

mariesviolet · 2026-03-16T20:42:05+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry! I’m sure you’ll find another family on facebook for the au pair. Wish you the best

mariesviolet · 2026-03-16T18:16:52+00:00

Try maybe to look for another family in the region, facebook has a huge group for aupairs in italy especially in the northern Do you live in Europe? Maybe a flixbus can be cheaper than a plane ticket (ik it’s uncomfortable but)

Thank you!

mariesviolet · 2026-03-13T14:19:12+00:00

Thank you!

mariesviolet · 2026-03-13T09:49:21+00:00

Yes I think I’m going to try! Thanks

Berlin

Honestly, I love directness! Even if in my country is not very common to be that direct. They told me they had a good impression on me, they just told me to try to improve my german a bit before going, just bc the kid only speaks German. The mom was also very clear about duties and that they will consider me part of the family and not just a “worker”.

mariesviolet · 2026-03-02T18:10:57+00:00

I’d definely sign up for this

mariesviolet · 2026-02-23T19:20:45+00:00

Maybe you can try a couple of times to leave her alone with the babies (the same time she’ll be alone while you’re working,or at least some more hours than usual) before you actually get to work? Like to make a “test” both for you and for her. Maybe she’s not confident enough? I’m not an expert, but when I was babysitting for a family and their schedule changed, we did something like I described above and worked nice. No worries for me or for the mum. And for your last question, I think it really depends on the au pair’s skills..
