I took care of this little girl in 2009 when she was not even 2 years old. She was tiny but proudly independent and such an inquisitive observer. She is now a tall, beautiful teenager. This was my first and only experience as Au Pair girl in Germany and definitely it was a positive one. I had never taken care before of babies or toddlers and, of course, it was engaging but also extremely rewarding by being allowed to admire her day to day progress. We shared a compulsive passion for drawing and I havr to thank her for bearing with me through my basic German language! We stayed in touch and they came to visit me in Parma in 2012, when I took the following shots of them.




Guess who rules the roost!
