So I've been looking at a couple of options. One would be to go volunteer in Hati. Crazy, but cool. There's a group of college students from Provo, including my friend, there doing some really cool stuff. So thats one option.
Another option I've been looking at is being a nanny or au pair, either somewhere here in the U.S., or in Europe. I have lots of childcare experience, and I love it, and I would love to travel around with a cute little family. Last night, I registered with an au pair website, and 24 hours later, here I am, with 14 OFFERS! What the heck?!??! How come I didn't do this before? It all sounds really exciting, but scary too. I don't have a passport, and I have no idea what I would have to do to get one and get any other legal stuff in order. What if I got stuck with some creeper family? What if I'm super bored and there's nothing to do?
So thats the situation.
I'm overwhelmed, and I don't know how to move forward. I want to do something cool! Please! Cue everything falling into place.......... NOW. Thanks a bunch. See you in Spain! Or Germany! Or...., (If they let me in.)
That would be so awesome if you went to nanny for someone halfway across the world! Or if you went to Haiti. But you're right, those all sound super scary!
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of being too scared though, you know?
ReplyDeleteTime to be crazy!!!
Mikell, I just found your blog! Hello hello. :)
ReplyDeleteI think being an au pair would be such a great experience, but it's true, you have NO idea what it's going to be like. You'd have to be super careful, but you'd see so many things! Do you get to see a profile or anything of these "offers"?
Hello Anne, my (practically) European friend! I'm glad you found my blog. Its not nearly as good as yours, but at least now I can feel like less of a stalker.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots and lots of profiles... Its hard to keep them all straight. If I can find a good family, I am going to do it. It really is a perfect thing for me, and at a good time too. I really hope it works out!
did you ever decide what you are doing? i wish i was as brave as you! it scares me even thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Germany! At the moment, its between two families, one just outside of Munich in a VERY Bavarian kind of place. The other, in Stuttgart, and then traveling around Italy for a month. I can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!! I want to here all about it!
