Ailsa et al,
I am coming to the Paris area (St Germain en Laye) with my first au pair placement at the beginning of December, and I am incredibly nervous, but it looks like there are a lot of au pairs in the area! I would love to get together and practice my french (currently it is tres mal). Also, I will have weekends off, and as I am from the United States (WI) I want to explore France with people!
