Au Pair job description

We would like our au pair to integrate into our family. Therefore, it is important that our hobbies match with au pair's hobbies. Altough we prefer an experienced au pair, our priority is to have someone with positive energy, love and affection towards children, decent manners and a developed sense of responsibility. In addition to taking care of our children (playing, helping them in their studies / home work, doing sports with them, improving their language skills etc.), we would also expect our au pair to help with the dogs and light housework, especially during school time.

Family's Message to Au Pairs

We are a family of four, living in the outskirts of Istanbul in a country house. We have never tried an au pair before but experienced its benefits through our friends. We are currently looking for a young enthusiastic, animal, music and sports lover au pair girl who would easily bond with our children. We have a boy of 8 and a girl of 6 years old. Furthermore, we also have a german shepherd and a cooker spaniel. Our 8 years old son is a tennis player and enjoys playing soccer, basketball and also piano. Our 6 years old daughter is an animal lover. She loves music and dancing, she takes ballet and piano lessons. She enjoys swimming a lot. These are quite active and outgoing kids. They both study English at school. They can understand easily and speak beginner level English. They are both very intrested in improving their language skills. We are both working parents. Mother is self employed in the finance sector and father is working in a large business conglomerate in Turkey as a Board Member. As a family, we enjoy sailing, horsebackriding, tennis, skiing, music and travelling. As parents we have lived, studied and worked abroad for many years and are comfortable with diverse cultures.
