Greetings from Brittany,

A friend of mine here in Brittany is wondering if there is any Tarbert family interested in having a 17 year French au pair for the months of July and August? (Yes - sorry for the very late notice!)

If there is anybody interested, please contact me via my email address This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will put you in touch with the person concerned.

Thank you,
A bientôt,

Taken from Wikipedia:

An au pair (plural: au pairs) is a foreign-national domestic assistant working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs take on a share of the family's responsibility for childcare as well as some housework, and receive a small monetary allowance for personal use.

The title comes from the French term au pair, meaning "on a par" or "equal to", indicating that the relationship is intended to be one of equals: the au pair is intended to become a member of the family, albeit a temporary one, rather than a domestic servant.
