I Am A Fun Au Pair

I am a fun Au Pair.

I am such a fun Au Pair that I eat entire jars of Nutella by myself. (Where's the fun in sharing?!)

I am such a fun Au Pair that I gasp when I find Charlie and Lola books at the BiblioTech (Library). All the girls want to know what is so exciting and give me strange looks when I show them my find. (However, when I read it to them tonight -in German!- their response was quite positive.)

I am such a fun Au Pair that when the girls had friends over last week and I drew a giant game of Twister outside with chalk, the neighbours thought we'd been having a birthday party.

I am such a fun Au Pair that I go around singing Barbapapa tunes in my head most of the day. (This is NOT fun for me, but the girls do feel like they are listening to the cartoon all day. Selfless, I tell you. Selfless.)

I am such a fun Au Pair because we cook fun stuff. Although when 2 four-year-olds are scooping cake mixture into muffin tins I have to look away. Otherwise the obsessive compulsive side of me will attack the aforementioned four-year-olds.

I am such a fun Au Pair because I can sometimes be talked into Cereal picnics in the Lounge Room. Sometimes. (Although why they want to eat Cereal more than once a day is beyond me. It's hard enough to face once a day!)

I am a fun Au Pair.

Sometimes I just need to convince myself.

    Dear FUN au pair - we here in Australia have heard about you. We believe that you are indeed the most FUN au pair ever!!!Your achievemnents with Nutella are even now (as I write) being turned into a documentary. I believe the title is "having the most possible FUN with the most FUN au pair in the world" Catchy eh! Anyway, the reason I write, is to ask if you could come and have some FUN with us sometime. We realise that you must be booked heavily in advance, but if you could come sometime and explain exactly how long it took you to eat a whole jar of Nutella, we would be more than grateful (stoked, even)!! In the meantime, we can only dream about the amount of FUN you are having over there - keep us posted. Your biggest fans.

    I completely understand about the Nutella (who wants to share when you can have your own jar!) Aaand I always feel the need to remind myself that I am fun, and a good au pair (especially when I'm on the verge of attacking a 5 & 8 year old with whatever i happen to be closest to...)
