外教讲解地道美语 第262期:雇保姆

Getting A Nanny

Grace:  Hey Mel! Are you up for some tennis today?

Mel: Sorry, I can’t!  I have to go to work, pick up Jake and Maddie from school, and make them an afternoon snack, then take Jake to soccer practice and Maddie to dance class.

Grace: You sound exhausted. Maybe you should hire a nanny to help you out! She can pick the kids up and take them to their after-school activities.  She can also help you do some household chores, and run some errands.

Mel: Oh, I don’t know...  it’s hard to find the right nanny .You have to consider her previous work experience, the responsibilities you give her, and how she interacts with the kids. I would love to have someone to help me out, though.

Grace: I think you should definitely consider it!  This way  you  won’t  have  to  juggle  such  a  busy schedule, and you’ll still get to spend time with the kids in the evenings.  I can refer you this great nanny Amy.  She used to work for my neighbors, before they moved away. She’s very responsible, a good cook, and great with kids.

Mel: Oh, that’s great. Thanks Grace. Can you give me her number?  I’ll talk it over with Dan and give her a call tomorrow. Maybe this way I won’t be so tired every day,  and Dan and I might even get to go on a date once in a while.
