I'm having an awesome time and the family are really really nice. We are getting on just fine and the kids are adorable! Well behaved too which makes things a lot easier! I had my first cluster meeting last week at a county fair - so American it's ridiculous!! I've been meeting up with other au pairs which is really fun! My home is like a mansion, it's crazy! Very hot here - a nice change from cold Dunedin :) Bridie

Bridie has since returned to NZ and made a bold statement about disposable nappies while at Art School.
