[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if I repeat what someone else has said.

My niece was an au pair.  She traveled to Spain for 18 months and had a great experience.  She got up and took care of the kids (one was about 7, the other about 11) and got them off to school.  She then had several hours during the day for some personal time to explore the town.  She picked the kids up, got them home, got them started on homework and did her housework, light cleaning, laundry and got dinner started.  After dinner, she had free time to meet with other au pairs.  On weekends, she took day trips, sometimes 2 day trips.  She got to explore Spain and southern France on weekends.  She had a few times that she got 3 days weekends for various reasons and was able to much more traveling on those weekends.  She had a great time and loved the experience.  Plus her mediocre Spanish got much better.  She is now in grad school and around her studies and writing, she works for a local private school in southern Cal and her improved Spanish comes in very helpful when dealing with some of the kids who have poor English.[/quote]
