Au Pair job description

The Au pair's job We need someone to help us with the children: looking after them, picking them up from school, meals, baths... The hardest work would be at afternoon and evening, after breakfast mornings would be mostly free. We have househelp already, so no house work other than light would be required (cooking preferably). We are looking for someone who is, above all, nice to our children! Family references from former Au pairs etc It is the first time that we accomodate an aupair student with us, but we can provide references on request from other live out nannies that we have had.

Family's Message to Au Pairs

We are a bilingual familiy spanish/english. We are used to travelling and living abroad, as we did that for many years (Holland, England, Spain). We know its a priceless experiencie, and we would like to approach our children to it as early as possible. Thats why we think that having foreigner students as part of our family is an ideal way to get them to know different languages, cultures and ways of living. We live in a beautiful sea port town in northern Spain, and we are looking for a living-in aupair that can approach our kids to any another language. Where we live, there is an Official School of Languages that provides Spanish courses for foreigners, that has an excelent reputation. Its also ideal for bike lovers as there is a bicycle lane surrounding the whole coast -its a peninsula- of about 14km.
