It was the first day as an Au pair. Mom said 「For the first week, I’ll show you how to do it, let’s do it together. 」 like that. So, I’m just watching, learning, and practicing repeatedly. When I ate breakfast, A-chan, who was sitting somewhere else, asked her mom「Can I sit next to (my name) ?」, and then she sat next to me. That’s so cute. I have a lot of tasks in the morning, such as preparing children’s breakfast, cleaning up around the kitchen and playroom, and folding laundry until they go to school. I respect parents raising children all over the world. My work in the evening is playing with children, supervising their playing, having dinner, taking a bath, and spending quiet time after bath. After A-chan went home, we were coloring together. On the way, she said, 「I want to use chopsticks」, She brought some souvenir chopsticks and practiced them. She was holding training one too,「It’s my favorite!」she said, which made me happy. Suddenly she said 「rainbow!!」, so I looked in the direction she was pointing, we saw a huge rainbow beyond the window. After that, she drew a rainbow in her sketchbook. When I looked in the direction he was pointing, I saw a huge rainbow beyond the window. After that, I drew a rainbow in my sketchbook. She also wanted to wear the souvenir jinbei, so I put it on him, and she went to show it to her mommy, looking very happy. After dinner, they had Japanese egg biscuits, and the little brother seemed to like it and ate quickly. After the kids went to bed, I had dinner with mom and Dad. Dad’s delicious BBQ fish was delicious. Even though the language barrier is still a long way from being overcome, I’m happy that I can still share interesting things with kids. But I feel more frustrated, and I regret that I can’t talk about more things with family as much as I want to. But it’s only the first day. I want to do my best to grow as much as I can in the next three months.
オーペアのお仕事1日目。ママが「最初の１週間は私がやり方見せたり教えるから一緒にやろうね」って言ってくれているから、みて学んで実践を繰り返している。朝ごはんを食べていると、「隣に座ってもいい？」と他の場所に座っていたAちゃんが自分の隣に座ってきた。かわいい。子どもたちの朝食準備に着替えの手伝い、キッチン周りと遊ぶ部屋の片付け、洗濯物畳み、子どもがスクールに行くまでの時間にやることがたくさんあって、世の中の育児中のママパパは世界共通ですごいと思った。午後のお仕事は大まかに子どもたちの遊び、ディナー、お風呂の見守り、お風呂後の静かにする時間を一緒に過ごすこと。Aちゃん帰宅後、塗り絵を一緒にした。途中で「箸を使いたい」と言い出し、お土産の箸を持ってきて練習していた。トレーニング用の箸も持ちながら「it’s my favorite」と大事そうに持っていてなんか嬉しかった。突然「Rainbow!!」というので指を指す方を見てみると窓の向こうに大きな虹がかかっていた。その後、落書き帳に虹を描いた。お土産のジンベイも着たいというので着せると嬉しそうにママに見せに行っていた。夜ご飯を食べて日本のたまごボーロを食べると、弟くんが気に入ったみたいでパクパク食べていた。子どもたちが寝た後、パパママと一緒に夜ご飯を食べた。パパの絶品BBQ料理で魚のグリル焼きが美味しすぎた。言語の壁がまだまだとれない中で、言語の壁があっても子どもと面白いことを共有できたりするのは嬉しい。けど悔しさの方が大きくて、もっと色々な話をファミリーとしたいのに十分にできない悔しさがある。でもまだ1日目。３ヶ月間でたくさん成長できるように頑張りたい。
