An Update of my Life in Germany

You know what? I cannot believe how much I hardly blog since I moved here!
I mean , writing too. Gosh I miss that.

So now this is my 4th month in Deautschland, it is getting extreamly cold and much darker before my eyes! Little Jamie-Lee has also grown up so fast its incredible, shes walking now too which I never could imagine her do when I arrived and she is really getting those sharp teeth, trust me they are sharp!
I have travelled nearly every inch of Germany apart from Berlin how crazy!

The past 2 days I have had people all around the world ask me to work for them, many were from Germany as they know Im here already and some from Canada and Spain&Italy. Its so hard to choose a family because you know your life changes too and you have to adjust to the lifestyle and culture and just in general how the system is day to day.
Im so used to running around , playing with Jamie and taking her on the bike trailor etc. I spoke to a very nice man on the phone who lives in Stuttgart (about 1.30 hours from Limburgerhof). He has two lovely young sons and asked me to work with him, he also has an indoor cinema! I will meet his family next month for 3 days and see from there.

I never thought how au-pairing can really change you as a person and also want to help others and just in general grow up with the kids. The only hard thing is leaving your family! My parents have always worked at home so I was never brought up with them leaving the house kind of thing, now Im suddenly gone , its so strange I havnt seen them at all, I also miss my dog :(

Christmas will arrive soon and will go to the UK to visit them for 2 weeks. I have never been so excited! If you have any questions about aupairing just ask!!
