The weather here is definitely all I had hoped for...sunny and beautiful! Although I do miss the snow a bit.
Australia is amazing! I love it here! I've met so many wonderful people and made a few good friends, including 2 au pairs from Scotland and Norway! I love being back in the country with animals everywhere! I'll admit that some of the slang and aussie terms where a bit confusing at first. Like a ute is a truck and a pushie is a bicycle and a chook is a chicken :P But I think I've almost got them all figured out. I start playing touch rugby today for one of the local teams which should be very exciting and a great way to meet new people. The family and all their friends have been amazingly kind in helping to introduce me to new people and taking me to see new things, like camp drafting, which was absolutely amazing!
Here are a couple of pictures. Thanks so much for all your help! I couldn't have done it without you all!

I did a kid's summer camp as a camp leader in the UK through Scotia Personnel and had a summer of a lifetime! This was my first summer away from home but I met young people from all over the world including people from Australia, New Zealand and Europe. The team from Scotia Personnel were great and just wanted to thank them again!
ReplyDeleteI went away for a year as an au pair in the US thru Scotia Personnel and had the time of my life! Australia sounds like a pretty exciting place to do an au pair job!
ReplyDeleteI went through Scotia Personnel to be an Au Pair in the USA and loved it so much! My host family treated like their own and the children were so much fun! I ate so much amazing foods, travelled and met so many new people. I would recommend the experience to anyone!!!
ReplyDeleteI was reading thru this awesome blog and just wanted to write a comment about my experience as an au pair. I have been an au pair in America through Scotia Personnel. I’ve had such a wonderful time! My host family was great to me! Working with children and travelling are my two most favourite things. I’ve travelled throughout the US with the family. As well, I’ve met other au pairs through the program from all over the world. Now I have free room and board wherever I travel and great friends as well :). I’ve had such a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteThank you Scotia Personnel for providing me the opportunity to travel to England and Australia for 1 year each to work as front desk agent at hotels. The landscape and history i saw abroad was rich and beautiful and i experienced their culture and local specialties. I had an awesome time working at the hotels! Thank you so much Scotia Personnel!
