Already regretting being an au pair
I recently started as an au pair, and I honestly don’t know if I want to quit or not. The family is lovely and I only work around 20–25 hours a week, so the situation itself is good.
The problem is that I’m not really enjoying being an au pair as much as I expected. I’ve worked with children before and loved it, but I’m mainly caring for a baby now, which I don’t have much experience with, and I think I just prefer older kids. There’s also a 3-year-old boy, but he doesn’t speak English, so it’s hard to communicate and bond with him.
I also just have this feeling that I shouldn’t be here and that I don’t really like it at all, which makes me question if I made the wrong choice. But since I’m only staying for 2 months, I don’t know if it’s even worth quitting or rematching. Has anyone else felt like this at the start, and did it get better?
