Last time I was here as an au pair there were a lot of us, and it was great for playdates and weekends away with like-minded people. But as theses positions turn over regularly, and I have been gone for 14 months, not many of them are still here.
So time to link up again...
My name is Kathie, im 24 and I work with 2 little boys. I originate from Cornwall in the Uk, and this is my second time in Geneva.

I know what you mean, people always seem to be leaving at this time of year and new nannies/ au pairs arriving.
I just posted a message about a nanny-toddler meet-up... I don't know whether your kids are of similar age but I look after one 18-month-old boy during the day. I'm originally from Durham and have been here on and off since 2006.
Let me know if you'd like to arrange a get-together (with or without kids!)
Cheers,
Rachel.

Hi All.. I'm an English nanny,working here for a family in Vessy.( just outside of Geneva)
I'm looking after 2 bys 5months and 2.5. I work 7-7 tues- sat and I'm free most evenings. I would really like some wine partners.. or dancing? or shopping?

Hello
I'm Louisa, 21yrs old, from Macedonia.
I started working as an aupair 3 days ago, in the area of Malagnou, Geneve, so I would like to meet other au pairs in this area so I could get to know the city and make friends. We could also do playdates together with the children.
Hope to hear soon from you.
Take care

I'm actually going to be in Interlaken that day, but thanks so much for the invite. I'm starting to get acclimated, but haven't met too many people. Maybe we could meet for coffee or something one evening?
I'm a bit outside of the city, but have access to transit, so I can be in the city quite quickly. Let me know when works for you.

Hello to all the new au pairs coming in! I too am an au pair and arrived the beginning of August. My employers told me about LINK, which is a group of au pairs based in Geneva (actually Nyon) run by an American couple. They are having their end of summer BBQ this Saturday and otherwise meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday. They also organise trips around Switzerland throughout the year. http://www.dreamadvance.com/link/index.cfm?pageID=2370
