I want to become an Au Pair. In Europe. That'd be so much fun. Scary, but fun.

AU PAIR 2K6!

I tried applying for that in college. Most agencies want people with like 5+ years of baby-watchin' skillz (apparently summer camp doesn't count), and a lot of them who board nannies want nannies with master's degrees. WHATEVER.

This summer we should nanny in New Bedford for Portugese families. Oooooh exotic. :)

Why would you be a nanny if you had a master's degree? Do they give master's degrees in nannying?

I did some crazy research last night in lieu of studying for my advertising final.

Here's what I found out...
-american's can't au pair in england, but in most other european countries
-most nanny agencies that i found want three years of experience (and some DO count camp counseling as experience if it's more than a certain number of hours per week)
-they recommend having college experience, but most families are flexible and want young women as opposed to farty old maids

I also found out that there is this family in France with two boys and they vacation yearly in Switzerland and have a home in Corsica and I want to WORK FOR THEM SO BAD!!
