my first working days

my first working day was on monday september 4th. it was pretty easy because it was labor day and i just had to take care of naomi. the only problem i had was to bring her to bed when she should take her nap. i think she was afraid of me in the first days. but michaela was there and helped me.
in the evening david took the whole family and both au pairs to a steak house. it was so expensive but is was really good. the waiters were always around the table to bring us more water, to fold the napkins, to bring us some bread etc. it was very fancy. so now i can say i have been to an american steak house ;)

the family (david, simone, ilene, toby and naomi) and michaela

on tuesday it was raining all day so i stood inside with the kids or sometimes in front of the house. i like them very much! simone is talking all the time and is very active. she is just like me when i was younger :) toby is very quiet but not always calm. if you want to talk with him you have to ask something about baseball. it was so crazy to see his eyes when we have been to the baseball stadium one day later.
on tuesday evening i went with michaela to a sushi bar. there we met gracy, another earlier aupair of the jaroslaw family. that was really funny. it was a nice evening and the sushi was so good! and it was not that expensive like usual dinner in new york.


on wednesday i got up at 5:30 am. then i woke up the children and we went to their first day of school after their vacation. there was a buffet in the court of the expensive private school.
in the afternoon we brought michaela to the airport. i am sad that she had left because she was so patient while she explained everything to me i have to know (of course in german ;) )
after that i went to the baseball stadium with the family. that day the BROOKLYN CYCLONES (they belong to the NEW YORK METS) had two games because of the rain on the day before. in the baseball season the teams have a game everyday. i enjoyed that evening so much. since michaela is gone the family is more interested in me. i like michaela very much but now we have the time to build up a good relationship. david explained me baseball in a very easy way (like he does to every au apair). i think it is a little similar to "brennball" on german schools. so it is not that difficult like everybody says :) i had so much fun that evening :)

Hi, I'm an au pair here in Brooklyn and wanted to know how was your work with the family Jaroslaw. How was your experience and how long they were. Hope you're well.
Take care.
