Muy bien, y aquí hacemos una pausa, porque de repente tengo a la primera familia que me contacta!! Y yo? SUPER CONTENTA Y NERVIOSA!!! QUÉ LES VOY A DECIR? QUÉ LES VOY A PREGUNTAR?!!! Les mostraré el correo y por cuestiones de privacidad no mostraré sus nombres.

Hey Paulina!



My name is A**** K*** and my husband, J****, and I live with our three boys in Atlanta, Georgia. T******* is 5 years old, H***** is 4 years old and H******* is almost 2 years old... it's very busy at our house, but lots of fun! We are a very active family and love to spend time traveling to our beach house in Florida, the mountains near by, or spend our weekends at our lakehouse near Atlanta. Our favorite activities are playing outside, sports of all kinds, hiking and spending time with our family that all lives close to town. The boys are fun loving, and have a great imagination! They love to make up games to play (that usually involve dragons), and love being outside. It's good that we live in the south, where the weather is mild, and we can enjoy the backyard with a swing set and large hot tub. We also love to play in the near by parks and our local pool. We have "family dinner nights" every Tuesday where our children's godparents and my sisters come over to eat dinner with us. Our life is wonderful, and I'd love to schedule some time to speak with you to give you more information about our family and learn more about you. 



I'd love to hear some more about your interests and what you're looking for in an au pair family. We are especially interested in hearing about your experience caring for small children!



Looking forward to hearing from you!

La verdad es que en ese entonces, a pesar de mis nervios y emoción, yo no estaba interesada, no sé por qué, creo que era por lo mismo de mi trabajo, yo no estaba lista para irme :s 

A lo que respondí:

Looking forward to talking with you.

Y bueno, hablamos por Skype. Lo más gracioso fue, y lo fue para ambas es que me pregunta: ‘’WHAT IS YOUR DLKGHKDSH BACKGROUND?’’ Como todos sabemos, BACKGROUND es FONDO. Entonces, yo volteo hacia atrás y le digo: ‘’WELL, RIGHT NOW I’M IN THE KITCHEN’’ JAJAJAJAJAJJAA Ya se imaginarán la carcajada que soltó, en buen plan, no se vió mamona y me dice: ‘’NO, NO, I MEAN, WHAT IS YOUR CHILDCARE BACKGROUND?’’ JAJAJAJAJA Yo no le había entendido la palabra de CHILDCARE, no la escuché!!! Jajajajaja qué pena!! Me reí, igual que ella y respondí a su pregunta. Ahora lo veo como si hubiera sido un sueño, hace mucho, sin recordar bien lo que me preguntó. Yo no le pregunté nada porque yo no sabía ni qué pedo, se los juro, a mí nadie me dijo que se les hacía preguntas jaja obviamente ella debió de haber sentido eso como desinterés de mi parte y después de 15-20 min. de plática me dijo que le agradaba y que me iba a recomendar con sus amigos que ocupan una au pair. Así que, dí eso como un NO. Y no me sentí mal porque no me interesaba. Aunque, como les digo, soy una tonta, su correo se ve super bien! Todo!! Habrían sido perfectos -.-
