Au Pair/Nanny job description

WE HAVE FOUND A WONDERFUL AUPAIR FOR 2008 SO WON'T NEED ANYONE UNTIL 2009. THANKS TO ALL APPLICANTS. We are a friendly, outgoing family who has had au pairs before (references available) looking for that extra pair of hands to help out Mon - Fri. We would like someone to help with childcare, some housework and help with meals. Also babysitting once a week/fortnight approx by negotiation. You will need to be flexible and caring. Have commonsense and show initiative. Adaptable and willing to be part of our busy and sometimes noisy household. Honest communication a must. You don't have to be Mary Poppins but willing to lend a hand, and be enthusiastic about being a very special part of our family. You will be appreciated!! We would like someone prepared to play and interact with the children not just supervise. If this sounds like you we look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading. Amanda

Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

We are a friendly, open minded family including 3 boys aged 5, 7, 16 and a girl 12. The younger boys are both bright and busy boys who enjoy outings to the park, school, playing ball, music and art. They both love swimming. The oldest has some disabilities incl visual impairement. He does require some personal care at times although that will not be your primary responsibility as he has support workers everyday and attends school full time. You will need to help at times though. He has a great sense of humour and enjoys Harry Potter. The girl is my niece who has recently come to stay. She is a lovely polite girl who is very interested in where our aupairs come from. She is a member of the Australian Youth Orchestra and goes to Scouts. So as you can see we offer the whole package - primary age, secondary and special needs. I am a registered nurse working 2 days a week with all school holidays off as I work at a school and my husband works on contract and is often away for work. We also have a cat Ollie and a dog Max. We are flexible and open to someone who may like to study or work part-time outside of our home. We would love to have someone be part of our family and share Australia with them and in return learn about your home town and family. Currently updating our online interview please feel free to read my work in progress.
