French girl seeks home

33 replies

ggglimpopo · 05/04/2006 18:53

either as a paying guest or a babysitter/au pair, for May and June, in London.

She is 19, happy and 100% vouched for and is very experienced with young children. She is doing a two month stint with a book company in Earls Court as part of her degree course (international commerce) and would love to stay with a family, as opposed to being all alone in digs or rented accomodation.

Can anyone help?

Is she one of yours ggg?

MadameDeMars · 05/04/2006 18:55

ok, cross posted.

What would it entail? Putting her up and feeding her in return for au pair duties?

Nope Wink

My 17 year old is far too wild to let loose on a mumsnetter............

I think so, shall I ring her and ask?

OP posts:
MadameDeMars · 05/04/2006 18:56

I think I have room. Give me 10 mins to see if it would work out.

MadameDeMars · 05/04/2006 18:57

Yes ring and ask. That would be rather handy actually. Could do with saving a bit and having someone here whilst I salsa. Grin

Does she like twins?

Does she fancy may and june by the sea? Could she commute? just kidding, though i'd be happy to if she did.

MadameDeMars · 05/04/2006 19:00

Yes that would be fine if she comes with babysitting au pair like tendencies Grin

She would have her own room (it's pink!)

OK, well got le answerphone, so left a message. She is a friend of my wonderful wonderful childminders daughter - and if she vouches for her, I'd trust her! Would be wonderful if it worked out (seeing as we never got to Venice).

Whereabouts are you, Marsy? Delgirl, I'd offer you my dd but it would either work very very well, or she'd run off with a sailor....

Actually, delgirl, thinking about it, a friends daughter is looking for work experience in the UK. Are you serious?

I could go into business here.Grin

email me details on lovelymarslady at aol dot com and we'll go from there.

I'm just popping into the shower and then off to............ you guessed it............salsa

Am happy to help out (esp as it would help me too). Of course should she not want to au pair but give me cash.... well.... I wouldn't say no to that either. But au pairing is fine. Smile

MadameDeMars · 05/04/2006 19:04

I'm in North London. She could get to Earls Court easily by tube. Take about 30-40mins tops

Delgirl, have you got msn? If you have add me and we'll go from there.

OP posts:
DelGirl · 05/04/2006 19:07

I thought I was too far away, I'm in Dorset. Whats your msn address?

nannyme · 05/04/2006 19:47

Oooh we are really missing our Czech Au pair from last Summer. We'd love to have her!

We are in Bromley - Greater London so about 40 mins journey to Earl's Court.

Can't really justify having an aupair full time as I am now working for myself and have far more time at home than I used to.

We've three children 6,4 and 2 and live in a gret place.

Do you think she'd be interested?

nannyme · 05/04/2006 19:47

In staying with somebody who types as badly as I do?!

Nannyme - if Marsy can't do it for any reason, will contact you, or with Delgirl re: other french girlie looking for somewhere. I should start an agency. Or join white slave trade (non perjorative white!)

MadameDeMars · 07/04/2006 09:49

All fine here. More than happy to have her! Smile
