I thought I’d give you guys a rundown on my weekly schedule, it’s basically the schedule of most au pairs in Paris, with some changes of course. 

Monday, Thursday, Friday

Get up at 8am to help take the kids to school, return by 8:30.

8:30am-4:10pm Sleep a little bit more, do laundry, iron, empty dishwasher, or hang out with friends

4:20- Pick up the oldest kids from school and walk over to cherche to get Auguste, who is only 2. Have gouter on the way home, constantly shout “RESTER A COTE MOI” (STAY CLOSE TO ME!)

4:30-6 Play outside in the courtyard, maybe fold some laundry, knit a little while watching them play

6pm- Bath. Oh how I hate the bath.

6:30-7:30 Play until dinner time, usually help make dinner. Watch them eat dinner and then clean up the mess/wash dishes while parents put them to bed.

7:30-whenever- I go to my room and watch videos or maybe meet up with some friends. On wednesdays I always drink wine with mes amis by the Seine.

Tuesday

Same schedule as above, only at 6 I take Jules, who is 4, to his roller skating class until 7:15. It’s really fun to watch!

Wednesday

9:00- Wake up and chill with the kids for a few hours, maybe watch some cartoons.

10:30- head out to Parc Monceau for Josephine’s ballet class, play in the parc with her brother until it ends

12:15- Head back to the apartment for lunch, after lunch, a small nap

2:00-5:30- Ride scooters, play in the courtyard, maybe visit Sacre Coeur

5:30- pick up the youngest from cherche

6:00- Bath time! 

7:30- Finally get some time to myself!
