Moving

I'm moving to the Netherlands for a year working as an Au Pair.

I will be responsible for two 3 year old twins getting them organised in the morning and off to school, colecting them from school, eating with them, playing with them, supervising and playing while dinner is being cooked..

I will be working 30 hours a week 5 days a week which is pretty good plus a little babysitting.

The mother will be responsible for the eldest child who is 4 ½. The only time I will have all three kids is when I am babysitting on a Thursday. I have weekends off so I can explore the Hague which apparently is a really nice city and close to the beach which is a bonus in summer.

The only other jobs I have to do is washing and ironing plus keeping my apartment clean and tidy they have cleaning lady so I don't have to do any housework.

I have a friend who is also working as an aupair in the same city and also will be living in the same street only 10 houses away so we will be spending alot of time together. The two families actually know each other as their kids go to the same school.

I have my own apartment within the family house I am on the top floor which I have all to myself with all the usual stuff kitchen facilities, tv, stereo, internet, bed, couch which aslo folds out to a bed, my own bathroom... the only time the family will be on the same floor is to use the washing machine and dryer and I have been told they will knock first so I will have alot of privacy.
