unnumberedsparks asked: Hi! My name is Loretta, from Australia. I'm currently taking a school subject where I'm investigating ways of becoming an au pair, and want to gain some insight from people with first-hand experiences. I'm conducting a survey on applying to be an au pair. The survey is quite short and completely anonymous. The results will be used to compile a brochure to give to other people...

I’m afraid if I go to bed now i will sleep through my alarm and miss my plane to Sydney. Whyyyy am I awake at 3:30 anyway?? I always save packing for the last minute and this is what I get. On a happier note I’m freaking out about my trip up the coast. I have a brand new memory card in my camera ready for picture taking.

A Blog Post from my Twin... makes me so happy!!
“So when Andrea gets back from Australia in umm… August… we’re going to have a blasty-blast going around Georgia doing all the things she loves to do at home and possibly didn’t get to do while she was away being super-nanny. I’m going to start a list on here, and edit/add to it periodically as I think of things. Please feel free to assist me. Go...

As excited as I am to be moving to Sydney in a month I can’t help but feel so sad to leave Melbourne and all the awesome people here. I finally feel like I have a good routine down and friends to hang out with every weekend. Tonight I went to the movies with some of my German girl friends. Our little group that live in the outer suburbs. We call ourselves the ‘au pairs of the...

As each day passes and brings us closer to Christmas.. All through my dash, I see pictures of snow, snowflakes, wooly sweaters, hot cocoa, pine trees, snow angels, and families sitting by a fireplace.. Don’t worry, I’m not saying that’s a bad thing.. It’s awesome seeing all these festive…

I just got home from a sunset city kayak tour on the Yarra river. It was a beautiful night with the sun setting behind the buildings and the air just cool enough to be refreshing as we paddled down the river. In other news.. guess who is moving to Sydney in February? :)

I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think, after...

Au Pair gossip
Ines: did i tell you? marcos wants to cook for me! he invited me to his house...next monday, but i dont really want to go
Me: why? you should go!
Ines: mhh... he is really nice! but he is soooooo old!
Me: how old is he?
Ines: and i am taking tennis lessons from him. I'm not sure, 28?
Me: Aw go for it! I went on a date with a guy who turned out to be a 30-something, smoking, tattooed, construction worker who I later found out has an 11 month old son. I think dinner with your tennis coach will be just fine
Ines: well... i guess i can't top you...thats the story of the year
Me: Well you never know! your tennis coach might turn out to be a retired male stripper or something. your date would blow mine out of the water.
Ines: OMG. if thats the case i will move to sydney with you. i cant take tennis lessons from a stripper
Me: you can take stripper lessons from him! thats one way to make some extra money ;)
Ines: no way! you can have my place, you need the money
Me: deal. so now you have to go to dinner so you can find out for me!
Ines: you played a trick on me!
