Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr?

Hi I'm an au pair in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, from September 2013 - May 2014 and was just wondering if there are any other au pairs nearby? Or if there are any au pairs who would like to meet up in mutual places like Pamplona, Madrid etc. Also, is there anyone out there who could give me advice on how to ask my host family to buy more fruit/veg? Not saying a lot, just that at the minute, the majority of the food I have been eating has been processed food and I have never been a food snob before (ever!) but the lack of nutrition in my diet is starting to show physically and mentally :( so any advice on how to ask them for a bit of healthier grub? Thanks!
Hi, Just wondering if anyone is Aupairing in Calgary Canada. I got here three weeks ago and i am here until end of February 2014. I'm a 20 year old female from Australia.
Hi, I'm currently au pairing in Murcia (spain) and am here till June 2014. Is there anyone else au pairing near here? I'd love to meet some people to have someone to travel with and stuff. I've ony been here 5 days and my Spanish isn't brillint at the moment!
Hey, my name is Sinead, I am twenty years old and from Ireland. I am au pairing this summer for June and July in Zaragoza, Spain. I would love to meet other au pairs so please feel free to contact me if you are near or in the area!
Hello, I'm an au-pair in Ireland, I've been here since March and luckily I'm pretty happy with my family.
But now my host family just told me that they are going on holidays for two weeks in August and I'm like... What about me?I tried talking with the au-pair that was here before me or the ones around me right now, but none of them have seen themsekves with this problem and I don't know what to do.
What am I suppossed to do in those two weeks?
Do they think that I'll be going back home (I think she thinks I am, but it's way too expensive, and I've told her)? Will I get paid during those two weeks? Can I stay int he house? What about food?
I should ask but I don't know how to start that conversation? What if she tells me that I won't get paid those two weeks or that I can't stay in the house?
I've been lucky enough to find an au pair family and I'm going to live with them from August 25th (excited!!)
I've been looking a bit into language courses, but I don't really need English courses to be honest. I know my English isn't a 100 % perfect, but I consider myself rather fluent in English. So, I looked into German and Spanish courses, but as much as I'd like to improve my German and Spanish, I'd also like to get to know other au pairs - and I probably won't find them going to German and Spanish courses! (The fact that language courses are insanely expensive is irrelevant right now).
Today, I stumbled upon this community, and though it may be a long shot, I thought that there may be someone in this community who's also going to Newcastle upon Tyne, or someone who's already there!
I've been considering taking a break from my studies for a year (I'm finishing University now, and want to wait a bit to start the project).
I wanted to work as an aupair because I love kids and it would be an amazing way to improve my spoken english.
I was thikning about going somewhere in the UK, but I don't really know how to go about this. I've been looking at some agencies but obviously, how do I know which one is best? That's why I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
I have experience with kids, so that's not a problem.
I have higher education. I am a teacher of Russian language and literature. I want to get a second degree in the Department of Modern Literature in Moscow, but for this I need to know English to a higher level.
I have experience working with children. I have worked in schools and Pioneer camps.
A place for Au-Pair is not important, because any experience is valuable.
I have no bad habits. I'm an athlete, playing soccer in an amateur league. I am a poet. I love photography. I love the unconventional musical instruments: didgeridoo, сomus (khomus, vurgan, kubyz). I love to read books by Eduard Limonov, Zahar Prilepin Dmitry Prigov, Michael Elizarova, Vladimir Sorokin, Viktor Pelevin, Sergey Dovlatov, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Milorad Pavic, Yukio Mishima, Moliere, Ray Bradbury, Thomas Moore, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Frederic Beigbeder, Michel Houellebecq.
I am a 26 year-old from Russia and want to work as an Au-Pair to the United States. Just wanted to ask whether it's true that you have to have an educational degree and at least 6 monts driving history to get a visa or it's a false information?
