Just got hired as an aupair for a well off family. Previously discussed, my main role would be speaking and being around the children.Tasks include walking the children to school, playing with them, and moving around with them on the weekends upon agreements. However in the first few days I have been here, they ask me for things like going back to hotels to pack their suitcases, getting their belongings, and sometimes sitting at tables separate from family. Not to mention the younger child refuses to interact and does not like me at all- the parents do nothing to aid in the transition? Additionally, I was separated by hotel, and put in a random location (an air b and b) but was very isolated location. Is this normal? I can’t decide if I am being taken advantage of or if this is a normal role?

Hey everyoneee! I’m a newbie to aupair and will be doing a month long aupair in the EU for english teaching. It’s for two boys, any advice on material and ways to bond with them? I am a girl and want to find ways to make sure they enjoy their time and make it fun for them?

Any advice, activities or suggestions??

I appreciate it all <3

Thanks!

I’ve slowly been coming out of the closet as a 21 year old now, and am worried my female friends (who I strictly see as friends) won’t accept me or view me as different. I worry about them suddenly feeling uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed, changing around me, or even discussing sexual things. I worry they won’t perceive my compliments the same, worry about my attraction to them, and our relationships will change. I’m super anxious about this and have suffered a long time because of it. Any advice?
