Smartaupairs Au Pair Picnic

Our August au pair picnic attracted a fantastic group of au pairs and we had a great time chatting and eating different foods from different countries :)

Au Pair London Bike Tour

A few weeks ago, also a bike tour took place, whereby Mariele and Anna from our au pair support, met up with a lovely group of au pairs both from Smartaupairs and Rainbow Au Pairs. 😊

After a short introduction - everyone showed up surprisingly early – we met Charles, our tour guide. He got us started right away (bikes, helmets – check!) after he had answered our most important questions:

“How fast are we going to go?” and “Is this tour for old people as well?” Reasonable questions if you are close to your twenties and planning on retiring in the next few years.

Off we went with Charles who seemed to be particularly interested in giving us some insights about how the British government works and how most of the parliament’s decisions seem to be – let me quote this - “going down the pub”. Another interesting thing that we learnt about the Royal Family when we got to see Buckingham Palace, was that the Queen does not only speak five different languages but that she is also the first monarch acting as a financial genius since she managed to successfully put her money into a tax haven. :-D

We finished our sunny tour at the London Eye and went to the cosy Horse & Stables pub afterwards where some of us enjoyed a typical Sunday roast while others (Mariele and Anna) went straight for dessert (“Now that we’ve done some sports, we deserve this!!!”).

All in all, we had a super fun time and can’t wait to see you guys at our next upcoming event! 😊

Here's what our au pairs are saying

"I live in Redhill (Surrey) now for one month and I really like it here ! The area is surrounded by beautiful parks, where you can play always with your hostchildren and you can easily take the train to London, which will take 20min. My hostfamily helped me a lot to settle in and I already feel that I am a part of the family. My hostkids are lovely boys. You learn every day something new as an Au pair! First of all you improve your English just by talking it all the time and then you learn to be very patient with the children and how to handle difficult situations. I take part in a language course at a local College twice a week. I've met some of my friends there. Most of them are local Au pairs,too. Furthermore I would suggest every Au pair to check Facebook to find local Au pair groups. You can just join them and take part at their weekly meeting :) I am really happy that I have made the decision to become an Au pair and very lucky to have such a friendly hostfamily ! "

"So far I have to say that I did not regret to go to England as an au pair for one minute. My host family did everything they could to make me feel welcomed and they care a lot about my needs and wishes. I haven't been thrown in at the deep end but my host parents integrate me and always try to be there for me. Thanks to my predecessor I got in contact with au pairs living nearby very fast. Kings Hill is very different from any other place I've been before and although England is not far away from home my life here is completely different. I am very glad that I got the chance to make this experience "
