Au Pair job description

25-30 hours a week (potentially more if you really wanted that) light housework, but mostly childminding and doing fun things with the kids picking up and/or dropping off eddie to school, or minding the younger ones whilst I did that being that extra pair of hands at dinner-time/bath-time/bed-time to help the evening routine run smoothly, and ensure everyone gets some lovely stories before bed!

Family's Message to Au Pairs

Hi We are a family of 5, soon to be 6. We have part-time nanny, Gemma, who is often away travelling the globe (she works in television) so are looking for someone who can be a regular help for things like the school run in the morning and afternoon, one or two evenings a week babysitting and a few hours every other weekend. We are very flexible with our requirements and would be able to work with your particular needs/wishes. I am sure, if you were studying some kind of course you could manage that as well as the workload we require (for example). I am a full-time mum, so really, this is just to help us do an even better job looking after 3 imaginative, lovely, energetic boys! Eddie is 4, Sebastian is 2 and Reuben is 1. The new baby is due in March and I am told by everyone that it is a girl....but after 3 boys in a row I have my doubts! We live in central London...you can acyually walk to Oxford street from our house! We are quite involved with our local (fantastic) Anglican church, and our eldest goes to a local, church primary school. We love taking the boys to Regents Park (our local park) and playing in the sandpits etc. Eddie, Seb and Roo are the most wonderful children - a mix of liveliness, creativity but also seriousness and sensitivity. We are keen to give them a fun and interesting childhood, and my philosophy is, the more hands the better! I am a trained (English/Drama) secondary school teacher and I have helped out as a volunteer with organisations like Soul Survivor, have you heard of them? Tom runs his own business (in the world of finance and IT) and he works from home a fair bit. We are moving across the road, into a house (from the mansion block flat where we have been these past 6 years) with a garden - which, for central London, is a real treat! We will still be unpacking boxes when you arrive, but I am sure you will enjoy joining us in the chaos! Looking forward to your interest/questions etc. Best regards, Anita
