week in the life of an au pair

Here is a typical day for me, followed by a typical week:



I wake up at 7:30 every morning. The boys are finishing breakfast and watching tv/wreaking havoc in the lounge. I tidy up the kitchen and prepare lunch and snacks for the day. Change the nappy, dress boys, and out the door. Around 2 or 3 ish the boys have quiet time (aka naps) while i have my own quiet time (aka facebook). I play with whoever is awake until 5 when i tidy up their rooms and the lounge. I may start preparing dinner and then Gendie comes to perfect it. We eat family style. After dinner I am off!
