Au pairing for a gap year

Back again. I'm going to upload some photos of the German family. I just emailed them, suggested either doing a trial au pair thing for them over the one-two week vacation period I have from my French family, or visiting them for a weekend. Because now I really want to take a gap year and au pair for German family after French one (well I kind of only want to au pair in Germany for 6 months really, a year sounds a bit boring). And damn those return tickets syd-paris I already bought. But to make sure the kids aren't freaks, and that the parents aren't total weirdos, I could go visit them over Christmastime or I could ask French mum for one whole weekend off in exchange for more evening babysitting, to visit the German family.

The pictures look so appealing...I love their cats, and I love their horses!!! The house looks nice too. And I even like the fact that there are 5 kids, because even though that's a bit more full on, it kind of means I have an excuse if you know what I mean? As in, if X, Y and Z are doing something they aren't meant to be doing, I could just solve X's problem first and be like, 'yeah soz have my hands full with him as you can see, so can't handle Y and Z too at the moment). Plus I kind of think to have that many siblings, the kids couldn't be too badly behaved right? Because otherwise the parents would stop having them. Oh, and this family has a proper piano too, so I could even keep up with my piano.

The German family actually seems quite lovely and easygoing! For some reason I get a better vibe off them than the French family, and plus German would be a beneficial language to become fluent in. Not to mention the visa is crazy easy to get (it can't be difficult if they let you in the country first and then give you the visa, not like they would deport half the people they let into the country...)

I daresay, the kids could even pass as cute, and the animals even more so!!

No one with that many bunnies could possibly be psychotic, right?

Plus the own 3 Icelandic horses. They must be rich. Just look at that house. Although the dad just looks a tad creepy. And apparently they live near public transport...although they look like they live in the middle of nowhere. I guess I can find out if they're being honest if they let me visit over Christmastime. If they don't even let me visit for like a day, then it's probably psycho-family-alert. Little boy looks absolutely adorable, I must admit. Although the mum looks the teeniest bit like she's capable of being evil. And the 3rd daughter looks to be potential brat alert (family describes her as 'lively and funny'). Not too sure about the 'lively' bit.
