WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! HOLD YOUR HORSES!! Scarsdale? Hmmm NEW YORK?!! JUDÍOS?!!! 2 NIÑOS?!!!!!!! WHOOOOAAAAAA!!! No me iba a detener por nadaaaa del muuundoooo!!!!!!!! Tengo una fascinación por la religión judía, por qué? NO SÉ, pero me llamó muchísimo la atención el perfil de esta familia. Decidí no esperar más, pues me quedaba poco tiempo con mi perfil. Le envié un correo a su LCC, me respondió muy amable y me dijo que les hizo saber a la familia M***** que yo estaba en su perfil y que podían checar el mío. Total, que la Sra. M***** le dijo que estaba muy emocionada y super interesada en mí. Al día siguiente, la Sra. M me envía un correo y agendamos un día para hablar por Skype. Les compartiré los correos:

Hi Paulina

I got your email address from the cultural care web site after I viewed your application.

I would like to learn more about you!  When is the best time for you to talk?  I will do my best to work around your schedule.

I would like for us to speak over the phone and then hopefully we can skype so we can learn even more about each other.

I don’t know if you are able to see my application.   We live in Scarsdale, NY which is a suburb about 30 minutes north of New York City.

My children are 7 ½ and almost 5.

I can’t wait to tell you more about us when we talk!

Thanks

JM

 Hey there! Wow thank you so much for contacting me. 
I saw your application the other day and I got really excited and I also would love to learn much more about you. Anytime you can reach me: if you guys would like to talk today I'm able after 7:00pm (I believe it's the same time in NY) I belive you must be very busy, so just feel free to call or set a time!
I am from Aguascalientes, Mexico and I'm 20 years old. I've taken carr of children since I was 15 and I've kept on doing it. Nowadays I tale care of my 3 cousins and ocasionally I take care of other 3 kids. 
I hope I fulfill your needs (:
Talk to you soon,
Paulina 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!  I can't do tonight after 7.   I will figure something out and let you know soon.  Looking forward to talking to you!

That's just fine, don't worry... anytime is OK for me, I'm up until 1 am, which would be like 2 am in NY   (: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are sweet!  We generally stay up late too. 

Are you available to talk around 9pm on Sunday night?  What I can do is set up a conference call through my husband, G work.  You just dial a local number and then dial a code number.  I will tell you exactly what to do.

Do you have skype?  If so, we could then plan a time to see each other through the computer!

Have a good night.

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK Sunday's perfect!! 9pm would be your local time, right?

I don't use skype very often so I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe you can find me like this:

You guys have a good night, too.

Paulina

Hi again Paulina

I just wanted to follow up with you.  I really enjoyed speaking with you the other night.

I think I told you, we are having a busy week with work, the kids and school events.

Also, I am trying to set up a meeting with LCC at cultural care so she can meet us and interview us.

I definitely want to skype with you, we just need to figure out when is good for you, when G, my husband, can be there and when the kids are either busy or asleep!

Not an easy task!!!

Looking forward to speaking again soon.

Thanks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there!!!

No worries, you did mention you had a very busy schedule.

I'm so excited! I can do any time, you just let me know when is best for you and I'll try not to make any plans. Either it's early or late, it's OK with me.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Paulina

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again

I just wanted to let you know what is happening on my end.  LCC from cultural care is scheduled to come here on Wednesday night to meet us.  I would like to set up a time to skype with you after that.  Does Thursday night april 26 or Friday April 27 work for you?

I am working until 8pm on Thursday night, so that is my only challenge.  9-9:30pm is probably the best time.

Can’t wait to speak to you again!!! 

Thanks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello!!
So glad to know from you!!
Either of both days do fine with me. Right now I basically got nothing to do, no plans at all. If anything comes to happen between those days I will let you know. So what day is easier for you? (:

have a great week and good luck with your LCC! I can't wait to talk to you!
Paulina

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again

I just want to keep you up to date.  We had to re schedule or meeting with LCC till Friday night.  I was thinking about skyping on Friday night, but I don’t want to impose over your weekend!

How is Sunday night around 9:30pm?

Thanks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!!
No problem.
Anytime is perfect as long as it doesn't intervene with your duties. So, Sunday's perfect around that time (9:30pm).
Can't wait! (:

Paulina

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Paulina

I was so looking forward to talking with you tonight. It is getting late

now and G has a project for work due tomorrow. I think it may make

sense to try this again another night this week. G may even be able to

talk to you during the day sometime this week. It is starting to get late

for us...

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

j

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm not sure if you sent me the last e-mail before we talked by the 

phone, so I'll let you know anyways that it's fine the way you CAN 

handle the interviewing process.



I really enjoyed talking to you tonite and it was helpful and good to 

remember certain things you had told me already. Thank you for taking 

your time to do it. Hope to do this again.

Take care,



Paulina

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

I sent the email before we spoke. We both enjoyed talking to you last 

night. I will email you some choices about when we can continue. We 

are excited about learning more about you!

Talk to you soon

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again

 I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.  G has some big things going on at work right now and I am waiting on him to give me a good time that we can all talk.  I really like talking to you and I am looking forward to having more time so both of us can get to know you more!

Hope you are enjoying your week, and I will keep you posted.

 Thanks!!!

 J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Hi!!

I really apprecciate you take the time to let me know what you guys are up to. From my part there's no rush so, take your time.

I hope we can talk soon!!

We'll keep in touch; have a great week, too!

Paulina

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again!

 So, my husband, G, just left for one week on a business trip to India.  I thought he was going to be able to cancel the trip, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.  He usually doesn’t travel, so this is tough on all of us!  I sure wish you were here now.

 Can you hold on for another week or so?  When he is back and re adjusted, I would like to talk/skype more so we can finalize things.

 Looking forward to getting to know you better.  Just have a lot to deal with right now!

 Thanks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

 Still thinking of you.  G is back from India but incredibly jet lagged.  He falls asleep at 7pm.

Of course, HK2 is sick now too.

 We are busy!!!

 Once G is feeling better, I would like to set up a time to skype and talk more.

Thnks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you available to skype with us tomorrow night around 930pm my time, is that 830 your time?

Thx!

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Paulina

I hate to do this, but can we switch it to same time tomorrow night? Gregg

has a work deadline for tomorrow and we want to be able to give you our full

attention.

I am sorry to change things around. Please let me know what you think

Thanks

J

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Paulina

 As you know, we have had so much going on with G being away, things with kids and my own work.  Because of all of these distractions, we are not quite ready to commit to hosting an au pair.

That being said, I don’t want to hold you back.

I really like you, so I want you to have a fair chance with another family. 

I hope you understand.  Please email me if you have any questions about anyone else you meet.

All the best,

 J
