Au Pairs in Istanbul

All the au pairs I know here have all had a hard time meeting other au pairs. One told me that it's common to just meet other girls through your host family. Like, their friends have au pairs and they will introduce you to them. There wasn't many places online to find/meet up since Istanbul is not the most popular place to au pair (although, there is tons more here than I thought. and apparently even more in the summer) So my little group of friends and I thought it would be a good idea to start a group where it would be a little easier to connect. There is on fb group but it's not used much. I also don't think there are many actual au pairs on it. It seems to be more turkish, live in nanny types? ah well.

so.

Au Pair Garden.

Au Pair Garden is a really neat site I've come across recently. They've got lots great articles on their blog (I really like the "10 Questions For..." series) and have just put up a section for blogs run by au pairs around the world. I see you can also fill out a profile to find a host family on there. Such a great site, check it out :)
