Au Pair/Nanny job description

We are looking for a loving person to watch our Baby girl (born May 2008) and our 8 year old twin girls. We will relocate to Portland, OR in December and are looking to hire a babysitter, AuPair, Nanny to start in December 2008/January2009. We will need someone with a somewhat flexible schedule as my schedule changes each quarter. My husband travels every other week so we may need more care one week and a little less care the next (we are flexible on that). What we are looking for is someone who watches/loves/plays with our Baby during the day, picks up the girls from school, supervises homework and other activities, and isn't afraid to help out around the house (while the Baby is napping). We are a bi-cultural and bi-lingual family (German, American) and the girls will attend a German Day School. We would prefer a live-out situation but may be willing to reconsider for the right person.

Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

Dear AuPair, We are looking for someone warm hearted to help us out with our three children. We look forward to hearing from you and are excited to meet you. Our family is not quite the typical family. We are a bi-cultural, bi-lingual family (German and English) and encourage our children to speak both. The girls are fluent in both languages and read fluently in both as well. We would love to have an AuPair who shares their enthusiasm for arts and crafts, outdoor activities (biking, roller blading, etc.), and other creative endeavors. We emphasize a happy home and hope to integrate an AuPair with a positive outlook on life. If you have your own things to do we may be the perfect family for you. I am a professor at a university and my schedule changes quarterly but is somewhat flexible. Thus if you are a student we will probably be able to work things out to accommodate both schedules. We are flexible in many ways and expect the same from our AuPair. For the Spring 2008 we are pretty flexible. We have some fixed times we need care (Monday afternoons, Tuesday and Thursday 11 - 7 (one of these may be shorter if needed), and occasionally Wednesday afternoons), all other times can be negotiated, however, we are looking for full time or almost full time care. If this sounds like a good fit for you we look forward to hearing from you.
