The only thing is, I'm starting to get my guard up about scams when it comes to stuff like this - I've heard so many horror stories about people getting there and realizing that the situation was totally not legit at all.
What do you guys think?
"Hello Au-pair,
My name is Dr Paul Clinton, i stay in London with my wife and 3kids.
I just read your profile and i want you to be our aupair, i want someone that will take them to school and bring them back, and some time you will help and teach them what is good and right.
As regard to your accommodation you will have your own private room in my house, and for your travel arrangement i will contact the British Embassy here in London on how i can process your document for you to start work with my family as soon as possible.
You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447045754032 or drpaulclintin@gmail.com
Here i attach my family photos
We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Dr Paul Clinton."
Sketchy? Not sketchy? I can't tell if it's a language barrier or just like....him sucking at life. I DON'T KNOW. Regardless, I need to look into it more. I was looking at certified and approved AuPair agencies on the Better Business Bureau website today, and I found a couple that seem a bit better than the ones I've been using, so I'm going to sign up for them. I can't wait to get out of here!
Work is getting boring to the point that I almost really can't handle it. We're so slow all the time, there's nothing to do, and I feel so stunted. You can only re-arrange puzzles so many times before you want to shoot yourself in the head. I can't wait until the stupid Olympics are over so I can apply to do something else. I want to be a florist, now!

After Raina's exam = shitfaced. I love her! She's the best big sister I could ever have!
So dark and mysterioussssss.
I think I did a good job on this arrangement itself, I'm just really not a big fan of birds of paradise. They were lame to work with, they stink, and are really harsh looking. Call me super girly, but I like leafy, petally flowers, like daisies and stuff - these are "handsome", as my teacher called them. EFF HANDSOME I WANT PRETTY.
But I guess that's an important thing to know about any kind of paid art: it doesn't matter what you like, it matters what the customer likes - and if the customer wants a vertical arrangement of birds of paradise, hell, I'm gonna give it to them!
rawrrrrrr
Interesting enough, I got the same Aupair letter. I think tons of them are scams. When a legit one comes through I think you will not question it. Try Care.com, it definitely is legit.
