Newly arrived Au pairs


goocha

Recommended Posts

Hi,


We have just had a lovely 20 year old girl from Germany arrive to look after our children as their au pair. She is keen to meet other au pairs new to this area.


Please PM me if you have a new au pair who might like to meet up with her and we can exchange contact details.


Also, can anyone recommend local English classes? Our previous au pairs went to South Thames College in Wandsworth but we wondered if Lambeth College or Southwark College might offer ESOL classes at the right level?


Thanks.

Hello, our au pair, 19 from Sweden just arrived last week and is keen to meet other au pairs in the area. Please get in touch!


(goocha and birnehelene - I have sent you PM).


in terms of language classes, we have had au pairs attending classes at Brockley Rise (near Hornor Oak Park and Forest Hill Station):

You can also find ESOL at Morley College https://www.morleycollege.ac.uk/courses?utf8=%E2%9C%93&course_filter%5Bactive_tab%5D=keyword&course_filter%5Bkeyword%5D=ESOL#course_listing , and I think you have some on offer in Penge: https://baec.ac.uk/?page_id=3133

Very belated reply to this thread, but we also have an au pair from Germany living with us, in Telegraph Hill (SE14), looking after our two children. She's 19 and very nice. (She's been here since early September: I'm not a regular user of this forum, so it didn't occur to me to look here or suggest to her to look when she arrived...)


If you would like to put her in touch with your au pair, please let me know by private message! (PS I think she already knows Kira in Forest Hill and they are actually meeting today, by crazy coincidence.)


Thanks

Ingrid

    • Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?  
    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing. 
    • Check the link I provided above. It’s gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme), suggested they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows majority support across London.
    • Rockets said: "Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway" This.
