Pre-Departure for "Mannying"

I got accepted by a family on Wednesday the 5th and I am leaving on the 11th of May. I am going to be an au pair. I will also refer to this as a Manny. My job is basically look after the two boys once they get back from school, play games with them, cook a few meals and help with their homework.

I have never spent this much time away from my friends or family so this could be an interesting experience. I have also never written a blog and I doubt many people will read it but I think it will be a good opportunity for me to keep in contact and so I can share my experiences with others.

I am going to have mornings till 4:30 off as well as most Wednesdays and Weekends. I intend to spend a lot of time wandering and looking around Saint Leu La Foret, Paris, surrounding countries and continents. I have no official plans but I think I may go to Nice, Barcelona, London, Brussels and possibly somewhere in Scandanavia. Any suggestions are always welcome.

Until next time

Ryan
