During my childhood, my dad was a visiting professor/lecturer at a few universities around the world and so, would sometimes have interns come to work with him. They would spend time with my family and I remember them fondly. They would join in with our life and would add to it in a positive way. I very much enjoyed hearing their stories, they’d teach me things in their language and it was fun for me as a child getting to introduce them to my favourite places.

I know that’s not quite an au pair, but it did get me thinking about how I could do something similar.


A bit about me, in short I’m a 25 year old classical violinist who likes to rock climb.

For the past 7 years I have worked as a teacher for both children and adults. I have really enjoyed being there for my students as they learn.
The reason I have decided to become an au pair is simply that I’ve wanted to live in Europe for a long time now, and to start that by helping a family seems like a lovely way to do it.

You would find me keen to help out, punctual and enthusiastic (especially when it comes to planning nice activities). I recently took a sabbatical during which I spent three months in Paris. I am confident finding my way around the city and further afield.
