Our first Au Pair is about to arrive next week and we wondered if there are any other Au Pairs in the neighbourhood who would be interested to meet up. Or maybe there is an Au Pair meeting point somewhere?


Our Au Pair is from Germany and she will be looking after our toddler. We thought it might be nice to for her to meet other young people locally who do something similar.


If you have any ideas or tips please let me know.

I know that there are a couple of German (or at least they speak German and aren't English, apologies if they are Austrian, or another nationality practising their German!) childminder/nanny/au pairs (not sure which) who I see at a few things, Tippee Toes on a Thursday and All Saints playgroup on Wednesday, so maybe your au pair could go along to those and try to hook up with them. They're nice groups to go to anyway!
I have a spanish au pair arriving next week - she would also love to meet some people. I think there is a regular gathering for au pairs on sunday at cafe nero maybe? My previous au pair went a few times - think maybe they arrange via the east dulwich au Pair facebook page?

Hello everyone, thanks for your replies, I've just seen them - as I had most replies via PM! So I forgot to look in the thread.


We have already made some contacts. Largeginandtonic, I'll send you a PM with our contact details for the arrival of your Au Pair. And reren and oimissus, thanks for the tips, we'll look into those!

    • Some of my neighbours don’t use or have a food waste caddy nor a brown bin so it’s just in with the green general bin. Sone people from the council came round last year and stuck big stickers on everyone’s green bin saying something like ‘don’t use me for food waste’ but there are some people who are just not bothered. People living in blocks of flats I can understand but even so the council have recently provided big drop off stations outside most blocks.
    • Do please take care - it may be innocent but it's really not worth the risk - there are some sick people out there. We have removed it this morning but there may be more again
    • I haven't used the RHS online shop, however to the best of my knowledge none of the RHS gardens such as Wisley have a nursery (though they may sell plants there) , so whatever plants the RHS are selling will be grown elsewhere. It might be worth trying to find out where they get their retail plants from (it could be several different places, eg one for perennials, one for shrubs) and then googling reviews of those nurseries. I may be wrong, but I'm  not convinced that buying from the RHS necessarily ensures a good plant. I once bought a perennial wallflower (Bowles Mauve) from Kew (not RHS, but you would expect good quality)  which looked fine when I bought it, but didn't last long. I don't think it was due to my neglect, but who knows. It was in a large pot by my front door, where it got a lot of sun, so I have no idea what went wrong. Thanks for the recommendation for Croxted Road. I wonder if they can suggest some plants which I can put in the area  under my bird feeders to deter the wood pigeons, who have transformed a large part of my very small garden into bare earth, and destroyed some treasured plants which I had had for years. Btw I'm sure you know this, but be very careful with Euphorbias. If you get any sap on your skin and it is exposed to sunlight, you will get an absolutely massive blister. I speak from past experience 😭  
    • Thanks ianr. That's an interesting book! I see it says side effects are more common after the second dose of Moderna (page 13). I would have booked my jab for another week if I'd known. Kicking myself now. I wonder why this sort of thing isn't more widely publicised. I suppose partly for cost reasons and partly because they don't want to put people off having the jab.
