Little words from Kikey...

That's a shame that I had been abandon this blog for a year!

I was so busy with work for 1.5 yrs (since July 2010).
Since, I am now on maternity leave expecting my first baby on March 2012.
I am deciding to recall all my memory to complete this blog about my travel.

Love,
Kikey

Au Pair in America


Au Pair = Babysitter = Nanny

I am an Au Pair, a live-in babysitter in American family. In this program, we work as a babysitter and have to study part time courses.

As my dad said, I am a "high-class Indonesian maid" for them. Now, I start to understand the feeling and situation of my "Kakak" (my family's Indonesian maid in Malaysia).

Why "high-class Indonesian maid"?
1) Have chance to study.
2) Have chance to go on vacation.
3) Work 45 hours per week.

We had a gathering in our counselor house. As you can see we all came from different counties. I am the only Malaysian in my cluster (area).

Wao, very interesting. High class Indonesian maid. At home you hire a maid, and went there to be a maid, why not send the maid from your house to work there, then u be your own house maid,but you still got paid for travel. haha, just kidding
