au pair (looking after children)

[francois]

Hello Everyone,

I have posted several times about this issue before. I am sure some of you can remember me. I am 22 year old university graduate who lives in Turkey. I have been looking for opportunities to go abroad to have IPL treatments. As a Turkish citizen, it's difficult for me to get visa for countries such as USA, Canada, UK or Australia. I need to find a language school or something like that to get a visa. But that would be so costly and I am unable to finance both my treatments and school. Therefore, I have to find something else.

I heard about poeple who went abroad as an au pair, living in other people's houses, looking after their children and taking care of housework. I wonder if any of you needs such a person and accept me. I also wonder if you can recommend me to your friends. If any of you can help me with that issue, I will be glad to introduce myself in more depth. UK is the closest place to my home country but I will also be happy to go USA, Canada or Australia.

I am hoping to improve my condition by IPL and return back to my country to work and carry on my life.

I hope there are poeple who can help me about this issue.

All take care.

Hey Francois:

Have you ever considered doing house-sitting? Just to clarify there are a lot of people in Canada that go "down south" (to warmer climates) during the winter months. This usually consists of 6 months of just watching a house, watering their plants, etc. Usually the people are retirement age, or people who can afford this.

I will look on the internet but this maybe an option for you. I'll get back to you soon hopefully with links...

Keep your head up!
