Hey Belen and Carolin at Au Pair Conecta!!
How are you?? I am very happy here in Vertou close to Nantes. Since the very beginning things have been great with my host family, the children and in general my life here in France. Yesterday I started my language course
. Actually I had been to some classes before, but the level was too high for me and the course too difficult. This is why I changed the class, and now I can participate during the lessons, build a strong basis of knowledge and get used to the sound of the foreign language.

My duties as Au Pair are just, what you had told me. But that doesn´t seem to be the case with other Au Pairs....I have a class mate at language school, who works so hard all day and cooks and cleans all the time and she is very tired... Thank God that´s not my case. I´m mainly in charge of washing and ironing the children´s clothes, preparing breakfast, tidying up the play areas and helping with homeworks etc....
Regarding the host parents I can´t complain either. At the beginning maybe everything seems so fantastic, as it´s new and exciting, but I have a good feeling. They care a lot about me and try to make me feel at home always.
The kids are lovely. Gregoire is 11 years old and doesn´t like studying for school that much. But as any boy he loves playing with his friends, so sometimes I need to remind him to take school issues seriously as well. He is a very happy child, very active and sometimes he gets upset if I tell him what needs to be done, but he is not resentful at all. Valentine is 9 years old and very responsible when it comes to school things. She is also very sweet and lovely.
Apart of that the family has a little Cocker, who is so sweet and a very independant cat, who I sometimes see strolling around the house.
I hope in Seville all is well. I´d like to thank you both for all you did for me. Until now all is just the way you predicted it to me and I hope that I will keep getting along with my host family so well all year through. The experience until now has been fantastic and a bog success and I am so glad to have taken the decision to become Au Pair abroad!!
Sending you a big hug!!! Au revoir!!!
