It was my first time as an au-pair girl, very interesting in this family!
I was present when Anna was born and had the privilege to hold her in my arms! I had a very nice time with the other three children: Joshua, Daniel and Rebekah. It was a shame Ireland wasn't so sunny during this part of the year, because playing outside with the children is… read more

It's my first experience in workaway.
I had great time with Sara and her family. Her children are so friendly and active I enjoyed playing with them. I was so happy to hear Rebekah say "thank you" at first time. I could understand how hard to grow up children and quick they grow up to see Sara and children! It wonderful experience for me.

Shafinaz was kind and helpful. She loves cooking and helping with the family. The kids just started to get to know her when sadly she had to return home. We where glad to have met Sha and wish her all the very best in the future. All the best with everything.

I was not very often the only adult in the house when I've taken care of the children. I spent most of the time with reading books, with playing play-doh, blocks or with some Thomas-trains. The boys are absolutely… read more
