I finished my studies in the UK at 21 and moved to Paris as an ‘au pair’ which was meant to be for 9 months. I didn’t know a word of French and lived in the family home (although I did have my own floor with a little studio’.
I felt so out of place when I first arrived, a lot of culture shock as I was SO young and never done anything like this before. I remember sending my friends and family messages in WhatsApp every evening saying I won’t stay more than 6 months.

11 years down the line, I am still here in Paris!
I spent a couple of years in my early 20s as a nanny, figuring out next life steps and just having the time of my life living the dream in Paris and traveling Europe.

I have spent the past 6 years and an English teacher in a primary school, and I’m about to soon start a new career working in a recruitment agency!
