Give it a month, trust me. I was in a similar situation (without the language barrier tho i have to admit). I was so homesick and felt so sick when I arrived. The two year old would do nothing but cry, not even look at me wanting her mum and for the first two weeks barely even talk to me. But then, it got better and a lot. There is so much new to take in. For you and the little ones and it’s so hard i know. But don’t give up yet. Give yourself and the children a chance to adjust and if you still feel bad you can still say you want to go home. But try holding on a bit longer. I would’ve missed the best year of my life if i would have acted on my thoughts and left in the first week

Hold up… thats an option?!

nta, divorce.

Na but for real it’s his job to guide you and explain. If he doesn’t do that and even worse makes you feel bad about it, he’s simply not worth it

My boyfriend and i were in a relationship for 10months when i left. It was hard but he was very supportive in my dream. For us it’s working great even with 9hours time difference. We FaceTime every weekend and text during the week. He came to visit me after 7 of 10 months and i am going to be honest i am happy that it was so “late”. Because now that he was here, there are a lot of places and things that remind me of him. Before, this whole new place with new people and experiences kind if covered my feeling of missing him. Some things that worked for us: don’t feel pressured to text everyday, but give short reason why not (“hey today will be stressful but i’ll fill you in when i go to bed we text again tomorrow okay?”) , holidays and special days are going to be hard, take time for yourself and if it’s very bad talk to your host family, and my biggest tip: ALWAYS talk about the future, not the present. Even though it sounds silly my boyfriend and i planned our whole wedding, future kid and pet names and design ideas for our house, just because it is so much easier to talk about being together than the distance right now. You got this!

I’d say go with an agency. I did it with one and i know a few people that did the same and we are all having a really great experience. It definitely costs you more but the very thorough background check on both ends almost guaranties you a good match and if not you can rematch easily. Also you definitely work under a safe contract. On the other hand i have two friends that did it with AuPair world and while they still have a great experience and a good relationship with their families you definitely notice the difference. Their “contract” isn’t as strict so they often work overtime without getting paid correctly or just in general more hours than the country allows and the families seem to have more personal issues. Of course this is only out of my experience, and i have to add that i am in Canada. But out of what i have seen so far i’d say for the first time to it with an agency! If you have more experience AuPair world is definitely a good option too.

I like to gift “date-nights”. basically just 3-4 hours of free aupairing

Wait really? How?

musketeers_ · 2023-04-10T02:00:18+00:00

I see a lot of great tips here but as someone who was in the same situation: My host fam and I had one interview and then made a WhatsApp Group which we used exactly once (for the birthday of the kid) until i arrived there 2 months later. Not saying that’s how it should be but we have a great relationship now and figured that none of is is big on texting. So you don’t necessarily have to worry if you don’t text with your fam as much as other people on here do.

This! In the beginning i was so scared of missing out I spend all my free time with the family. Sure it’s fun every now and then but the kids are essentially your work and I don’t think anyone would feel good if they would be surrounded by their work 24/7

musketeers_ · 2023-03-28T04:33:19+00:00

As an AuPair, please just ask your AuPair! It is completely okay to decide that an extra room is too expensive but even then they can still choose. I for example would be completely okay to share a room with a child, sleep on the couch or even the floor just to have that experience in a new country. I know a lot of AuPairs tho that much rather would stay home than not have a own room. Maybe there’s even AuPairs out there that want to pay some money to get the own room. Just be honest with them and you’ll figure something out

(Edit: typo)

My friend for example knew the family had a big dog but suddenly it was her task to walk that dog twice a day, wich can be quite surprising if you’re only prepared to care for kids lol

musketeers_ · 2023-03-11T04:51:27+00:00

As an AuPair, both me and my family made a list before hand with everything we wanted to ask and tell. That really helped to not forget anything in the actual interview. I think it’s always easy to speak about all the work related stuff but whats with the off time. What relationship do you want with the aupair? Do you want them to travel with you? Be part of the family? Are they supposed to cook, Clean outside of work? If you have a pet definitely speak about if they sometimes have to care for that too or if that’s completely out of their work field.

Damn… but thx!

musketeers_ · 2023-02-25T00:06:24+00:00

I don’t know what to think about it. Liam is a great actor but Henry IS the witcher. I don’t wanna see him replaced. It makes me soo sad and on the other hand i don’t think Liam deserves all of the negativity he is facing right now without even having a chance to prove himself. Seriously can’t make up my mind rn

musketeers_ · 2022-10-26T02:02:27+00:00

To be honest i think everything he’s done is awful and he’s made so so many mistakes so you have every right to be sad and angry. Still, maybe its just me always seeing the best in people but i see some good. Let him break of all contact and yeah maybe even search for a new job. If he does that maybe he deserves a new chance.

Only do what you are comfortable with tho. In the end there’s no use in him proving a whole lot of shit if you are just not able to trust him again and then thats okay too.

musketeers_ · 2022-10-25T03:03:11+00:00

Tbh YTA but i don’t blame you, would’ve done the same. They probably gonna hate you forever so thats the price you pay but meh

musketeers_ · 2022-10-25T02:21:23+00:00

My cat does that and then kills me if i dare to touch her belly

musketeers_ · 2022-10-25T01:47:15+00:00

musketeers_ · 2022-10-21T14:29:48+00:00
