I have a lovely girl who started in September. She said she is unhappy as she is bored and not able to make friends.
We live in enfield North London . I don't really know what to do now as don't know any other Aupairs
In the area.
Any advice in how to meet other aupairs

Does she have any interests or hobbies you could help start her up with? If she enjoys exercise, photography or something then she could find a local class.
My au pair has found some au pair friends online and is starting to meet up with them. I did a little bit of searching before she arrived and started to find some facebook groups for au pairs and a site which I think was called oh!pair but I think that she has to do some searching online herself too. Especially when it comes to making friends - you can't do it for her although you can help her a bit, if you see what I mean?

If English isn't her first language she should take English classes. This is a great way of meeting other au pairs and obviously improving her language skills at te same time.

How old is she? Has she.lived away from home before?

There is a London au pair group on Facebook. All my au pairs have found lots of friends there.

She is 23 and hasn't lived away from home I will try the Facebook group. Thanks everyone
