Having trouble with this sentence.

Mar está en londres. Está de au pair con una familia inglesa.

From what I can tell it's about London being near a sea or having a sea, and an English family but I can't find what au pair means. It is in Estar for form so its temporary.

Any ideas? The Internet translators are having trouble to.

If 'Mar' wasn't a proper name, the sentence would start with 'El mar'. :) - SpanishPal, Sep 6, 2011

I guess Mar is a name.

Mar is in London. She is an au pair with an English family.

Thank you so much, I would have never guessed that this Spanish sentence had a hidden French term in there. And Mar as a name sounds nice but confused me and the INTERNET translator.

"Au pair" is the term for a nanny. I'm not sure if that is the correct spelling but I believe it is French.
