Au Pair/Nanny job description

I am in need of assistance with my wonderful 3 year old daughter Daniella. My current Au Pair, who has been with us just over a year, is getting married and therefore moving on. That leaves me looking for a new Au Pair. I am looking at paying between $200 and $250/wk which would be in addition to a private bedroom, private bath, utilities, wireless internet and food. Actually salary would depend on many factors including experience, misc living expenses and responsibilities/tasks. I am very easy going and Daniella is a wonderfully fantastic child. She is a fun, goofy and sweet little girl. Of course she can be a handful at times. She enjoys dancing around, singing, coloring and playing with her many toys. She loves playing outside, visiting the park and zoo as well as taking walks and watching some television shows that she adores. She is active and imaginative. In addition to Daniella, I also have a 13 year old son, Justin, who lives in Ohio with his mother. He visits occasionally.
