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

Please see attached full details of English Classes- returning 13th September, avoid the time and cost of travelling into Central London, whilst meeting other local au pairs and practise your English in a supportive environment with a Qualified Native English Teacher

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

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
