Quote of the evening:
You should be aware, however, that an Au Pair should never be expected to take sole charge of children under the age of 3 years. Only a Nanny has sufficient skills and experience to take such responsibility.
Drat. I don’t recall getting any qualifications, or having and skills or experience when they first handed me a baby and kicked me out of hospital…
I’m obviously too tired. I’d better go to bed.

Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

I thought you just referred to the handbook?
Laugh not, give it a bit longer and you’ll probably have to pass and exam when the registrar comes round to “allow” you home.
You could see if you could find a childminder who will look after them in your own home (there are such things). Remind me of where it is exactly that you live and I’ll post on ukchildminders and see if anyone has any recommendations. Pity I don’t live closer!
It is a real shame you don’t live closer Nikki. Will drop you a line.
