The end

Today it has been 6 months that I began my adventure.. Being an Au Pair can be hard and difficult especially in China. But I have the feeling that i have been beyond my limits and I have done my best. I know Chloe can now speak in english and have a conversation, that was…

Assimil

A lot of people asked me how did I learn italian because I could have a great conversation with the two italian Au Pairs (I was sooo happy about it !). So I was born in Italy and one day when I was in middle school my father told me “would you like to learn…

Tips to pack your luggage

So just in case you need to pack, and you didn’t know it already.. It’s better to roll your shirts, pullover and throusers (folding as described in the image did not work for me) and to roll all your underwares and socks in one sock 🙂

Hotel !

It was difficult for me to stay only with the grand mother, I wasn’t free to do what I wanted even if the host family was in holidays. I had to clean the yard twice a day (which took me minimum 30 min but often 1 hour to do it once), to take care of…
