Hi there! My family and I are looking for a new au pair to join our family (we've hosted au pairs for the last 7 years).
We have 3 children, Maddie (age 13), Mason (age 9), and Lucas (age 8). We live in San Mateo, California, which is about 15 miles south of San Francisco. I am a school literacy teacher and my husband is a doctor.
Our children attend a Spanish Immersion school near our home, which means that they spend most of their school day learning in Spanish. We are looking for someone to help them continue to learn and use Spanish, help them with homework and have fun with them!
My husband and I speak English and communicate in English. We also have an adult school which has daily English classes that you can take and they are free while you are living with us.
We want to find someone who has daily driving experience (driving is a big part of our au pairs responsibility) and someone who is energetic, both our boys are pretty active! Our children love to play at the park and ride their bikes and scooters. They also love to read (and be read to) and to draw and color (it's one of their favorite things to do at home). They love to build with Legos and do crafts, such as bracelet making, and they have even learned to crochet.

Since our children are older we are looking for someone with driving experience because a big part of our au pair's responsibility is to drive our children to and from school and to and from their various activities. Below are other responsibilities that our au pair has.
Plan lunch and snacks for the kids when necessary.
Prepare dinner for the kids and feed them.
Keep the kitchen clean, after you prepare meals.
Vacuum/sweep (or ask the kids to vacuum/sweep) the kitchen once a day after lunch or snacks, and always wipe down the counter.
Plan afternoon activities for kids if they don’t already have scheduled activities.
Help the kids with their homework as needed.
Teach the kids how to clean up after themselves. (They can clean their rooms but need encouragement and supervision.)
Help them to clean up their toys and activities at the end of each day. This includes toys outside.
Tell us when we are low on items that you use with the kids.
Teach the kids how to keep the car clean.
Do the kids’ laundry and change their sheets once a week. They will need some help and guidance, but they can put away their laundry.
Make sure the kids bathe and that they brush their teeth in the AM and PM.
