• 离开熟悉的家乡，融入异国家庭，这份工作不仅是照料，更是一份责任与爱的传递。今天，我想分享我在米兰担任住家保姆一天的工作流程，带您了解这份独特职业的点点滴滴。

    6:00 AM： 我的闹钟轻柔响起。迅速洗漱，换上干净舒适的工作服。确保自己精神饱满，是开启一天的基础。

    6:15 AM： 为雇主家庭准备早餐是首要任务。根据家庭成员的口味和饮食习惯（如中餐习惯的粥点、西式的麦片牛奶、或者特定的健康餐单），开始忙碌。同时，会准备好孩子们上学/大人上班需要的午餐便当，确保营养均衡、搭配合理。

    7:00 AM： 早餐基本就绪。这时，孩子们通常也陆续起床了。我会去协助年龄较小的孩子穿衣、洗漱，同时，整理孩子们的房间，开窗通风。

    7:30 AM： 全家人享用早餐。我会在一旁观察，随时提供所需（如添食物、清理桌面），并留意孩子们是否吃好。这个时段也是和雇主进行简单沟通的好时机，了解当天的特殊安排或孩子的状况。

    8:00 AM： 早餐结束，快速高效地收拾厨房、洗碗、擦拭台面，恢复整洁。协助孩子们检查书包、带上必需品，准备出门。

    8:30 AM： 通常，我会协助送孩子们上车（如果由司机或家长接送）或步行送至校车点，确保他们安全出发。与孩子们道别，给予鼓励的微笑。

    Leaving my familiar hometown and integrating into a foreign family, this job is not just about caregiving, but also about conveying responsibility and love. Today, I want to share a typical day as a live-in nanny in Milan, giving you a glimpse into the details of this unique profession.

    6:00 AM: My alarm clock gently rings. I quickly wash up and put on clean, comfortable work clothes. Ensuring I'm refreshed and energized is the foundation for starting the day.

    6:15 AM: Preparing breakfast for the employer's family is the first task. Based on the family members' tastes and dietary habits (such as Chinese-style porridge, Western-style cereal and milk, or specific healthy meal plans), I begin my work. At the same time, I prepare lunch boxes for the children going to school and the adults going to work, ensuring a balanced and nutritious meal.

    7:00 AM: Breakfast is mostly ready. By this time, the children usually start waking up. I assist the younger children with dressing and washing up, and tidy their rooms, opening the windows for ventilation.

    7:30 AM: The whole family enjoys breakfast. I observe from the side, providing anything needed (such as refilling food or cleaning the table), and making sure the children eat well. This is also a good time to have a brief chat with the employers, learning about any special arrangements for the day or the children's well-being.

    8:00 AM: After breakfast, I quickly and efficiently clean the kitchen, wash the dishes, and wipe down the countertops, restoring everything to cleanliness. I help the children check their school bags and gather their necessities, preparing them to leave.

    8:30 AM: Usually, I assist in getting the children into the car (if they are being driven by a driver or parent) or walk them to the school bus stop, ensuring their safe departure. I say goodbye to the children and give them an encouraging smile.

    (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) 这是集中处理家务的时间。

    彻底清洁早餐区域。

    整理客厅、书房等公共区域，吸尘、擦拭灰尘、归置物品，保持环境整洁有序。

    整理孩子们的房间：铺床、整理玩具、书籍，保持空间舒适。

    深度清洁轮换（如每周一次的浴室深度清洁、厨房油烟机擦拭、地板打蜡等）。

    (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) This is the time dedicated to household chores.

    Thoroughly clean the breakfast area.

    Tidy up common areas such as the living room and study: vacuuming, dusting, and organizing items to maintain a clean and orderly environment.

    Tidy up the children's rooms: make the beds, organize toys and books, and keep the space comfortable.

    Perform rotating deep cleaning tasks (such as weekly deep cleaning of the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen range hood, waxing the floors, etc.).

    Shopping and Planning in Italy:

    Check the refrigerator and pantry, and make a list of food and household items that need replenishing. Pay special attention to buying healthy snacks and fruits that the children enjoy.

    (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM)

    Picking up the children: Arrive at the school bus stop or school on time to pick up the children. Safety is paramount.

    Snack time: Upon returning home, immediately provide the children with prepared healthy snacks and drinks to replenish their energy.

    (6:00 PM - 9:30 PM)

    回到自己的房间，终于迎来完全属于自己的时间。可以洗漱、放松、和家人视频、学习提升（如学习当地语言、育儿知识），或者规划明天的工作。同时，会简单记录一下当天的重要事项、孩子的特殊情况，以便与雇主沟通或日后参考。

    Return to your own room and finally have some time to yourself. You can wash up, relax, video call with family, study and improve yourself (such as learning the local language or parenting skills), or plan for tomorrow's work. At the same time, briefly record important events of the day and any special circumstances regarding the children for communication with the employer or for future reference.
