My family welcome me as a daughter or a big sister and made me feel part of the family., Demi-Pair,

I leave France to become a demi-pair in Dublin for almost 4 months.

It was a very good and wealthy experience! My family welcome me as a daughter or a big sister and made me feel part of the family. The family was located in Blackrock, I had to take the train (the DART) every morning to go to school in Dublin, the journey to go to school was 40 minutes. In the house, I had my own bedroom and bathroom for my privacy.

After school, I used to come back at home for lunch and sometimes just after I had to collect children. I had to mind 2 kids : lovely twins girls! It wasn’t easy everyday because they were neurodivergent and at the beginning I didn’t know everything about that. But after I get used and know how to manage the girls I could find some creative and outdoor activities that they loved and enjoyed. At the end of the afternoon, I had to mind their big sister too for one hour and at 6.30 it was dinner time with the family. We shared a lot of moment of life and it was very cool.
At school, I met a lot of friends for all around the world and we organized some night-out in Dublin’s pub.

I recommend to live this experience!
