Dear WWYD,

...IF...you had the opportunity to go work in a foreign country (the UK or France) as an au pair (a nanny)?

So maybe I filled out a profile with an online service that matches families with au pairs.
So maybe I checked my email and noticed 7 responses re: my profile. Seven parents all interested in having me watch their kids (with incredibly cute names - Henry, Wendy, Jack, Lillie, to name a few).
So maybe I'm interested.
Did I just start a new job? Yes.
Has it always been a dream of mine to live and work in the UK and France...yes.
Am I crazy to even consider this? Maybe.

Or maybe I'm having a quarter-life crisis.

Go for it! You are only young once right? Besides, a career here in the US will always be here. But as you get older (married and have kids), opps for living in a foreign country get slimmer.
