I am currently an au pair with two children a 2 year old boy and a 10 year old boy and I have babysat in Townsville with children from 6 months to 9 years old and I was also an au pair in Sydney with a 1 year old boy and a 7 year old girl. And My experience with children in France : I have looked after two children on certain Tuesdays when the parents had planned an evening outing. they were an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. i took care of showers, meals and bedtimes and did activities with them to keep them occupied. I looked after my little cousin aged 1 a lot, I looked after him at night, gave him a bath, changed his diaper, fed him and put him to bed. I looked after another boy, aged 6, during the day, picked him up from school, gave him a snack and looked after him in the afternoon when he didn't have school
