British dream ^ ^

Oh, biedna Ty :*



Bylam w szoku, jak dostalam tego esa.. normalnie smurno mi sie zrobilo. i jest mi smutno! bo wszystko za szybko..

..ech.. ((



Kurna, gdybym wiedziala, ze az tak.. to bys pewno mogla u nas przenocowac.. niestety nie mialam nic na koncie zeby sie jakkolwiek porozumiec.

Podziwiam te dziewczyny, które po takich przej?ciach chc? być jeszcze au-pair. Ja doszłam do wniosku, że nie mam ochoty być popychadłem jakich? Angoli, którzy będ? mi robić łaskę że u nich mogę mieszkać i odwalać cała robotę za nich...

Klara, mi też takie my?li chodz? po głowie, ale nie poto nie poszłam na studia, wyjechałam.. zaczęłam szkołe, i zaczęłam sobie jako? tam życie układać żeby teraz odpu?cić. Jesli znowu nie wyjdzie, zastanowie się nad normaln? prac?..

Ja juz siebie nie widze w Polsce, przynajmniej nie tutaj.



Mailuje z rodzin? z 'moich' okolic, trzymajcie kciuki..

Ale ja Cię rozumiem. Ciebie trzyma tam jeszcze praca i szkoła. Dlatego też trzymam mocno kciuki żeby Ci się udało.

napewno będzie dobrze, bo musi być dobrze. Nawet w najgorszych sprawach zawsze poxniej widać co? pozytywnego.

All such information is not to be disclosed or discussed by Au Pair and shall be safeguarded by Au Pair as privileged, confidential information. Failure to uphold this confidentiality agreement shall be grounds for immediate termination.



Our Expectations



We expect that Au Pair will approach all situations responsibly, even if an issue is hard to discuss. We expect that Au Pair will handle the children with love, respect and a balance of authority to ensure our wishes and schedules are met. We expect that Au Pair will do all that Au Pair do with care and attention to detail.



We expect that the tasks listed above will be done by Au Pair without having to be reminded. Au Pair will take responsibility for being present at the appropriate times and taking care of what needs to be done without being asked.



Personal use of the computer is reserved until all tasks are completed for the specified period.



If Au Pair is off duty, personal use of the computer is fine. This is a shared, family computer so consideration should be given to the family’s use as well.



During scheduled work time Au Pair should not be watching TV, on the computer or phone.



The family car (Vauxhall Zafira) may be provided to Au Pair (assuming adequate insurance can be obtained) primarily for getting the children to and from school. Prior permission is required for any personal use such as personal errands. Should Au Pair get in an accident; Au Pair agrees to pay half the amount of the excess for Family’s insurance to have the necessary repairs made.



House visitors or overnight guests are not allowed unless it has been discussed in advance and permission has been granted.



If Au Pair’s plans to stay with us were to change at any time, we would like Au Pair to notify us immediately, providing us with as much advanced notice as possible as we do depend on Au Pair to perform the job for which Au Pair was hired and finding a suitable replacement usually takes at least a month.



By signing below Au Pair agrees to perform the tasks and meet our expectations above.

Boże, ale długo mi się czytało

wiesz co Aga... warunki s? niezłe i nieźle płac?.

ale nic tu nie wspomnieli o nauce języka...

niby mogłaby? wykorzystać na to tę przerwę w ci?gu dnia.

no ale z prac? dodatkow? to już chyba czas na goodbye.

jak jeste? gotowa na to żeby się temu po?więcić to się zgódź



a dzieci w jakim wieku s??

Ja z nimi rozmawialam dzi? przez tel., hostka zapytała kiedy mam lekcje, ja jej powiedziałam, i nie miala nic przeciwko

Mysle, ze dodatkowa prace możnaby znale?ć, np sprz?tanie w ci?gu dnia, albo mój pub w weekendy, to daleko nie jest, i s? bezpo?rednie poci?gi (wła?nie sprawdziłam )



A opiekować miałabym sie dziewczynka (10) i chlopiec(7).



W sumie, to co mam do stracenia? Pierwszy miesi?c będzie próbny, i je?li to jednak nie będzie "TO", dajemy sobie 2 tygodniowe wypowiedzenie.. i zaczynamy od nowa.
