Au Pair/Nanny job description

The job is mainly between 7 am and 9 am and 3.30 pm to 6 pm. Morning duties: from wake up the kids to drive them to school, make up their room and walk the dog. Afternoon duties include: helping with homework, afternoon activities, playing. Twice a week some babysit when I'm at the gym for a couple of hours.

Like cooking easy dishes (mainly for the kids), reordering, some help generally with the daily household.

Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

Dear Au Pair, we're looking mainly for a girl for a long term stay. The starting time is not relevant, but the feeling and complicity must match! You should be independent, able to organize the kid's day (from getting up until bed time), open minded, have got a lot of energy, like sports, pets and having fun with kids. We like to stay outdoors (even with bad weather) and have new experiences. During the summertime we spend more time on the sea or the pool than at home. Since both girls go to school we have to stay home a bit more, but we are still active. The girls a really easygoing (except Alyssa's moments) they are used to live with an Au Pair for 3 years now. Naomi is quite independent but an adult's presence is always welcome. Alyssa can be the nicest girl of the world, as she can be the completely opposite! Alyssa can be really busy and she has got a very!!!! strong will. We made the experience that you should have to know how to treat and act 6 year old's. It makes your and our life easier. The girl both need a daily routine. We'd like to have a big sister for the girls and not a 2nd mother. you should like to play with them and have fun. Better if you were English or German mother tongue. One more thing: you should be a good driver! you have to drive them around to school and afternoon activities. We are informal, and are seeking an au pair that wants to share a beautiful and interesting time with us, to share our time and culture and take part of our family. We live at Padova a city 40 km from Venice, a place that may offer a lot of Italian culture, too. (German culture as well!) You'll have your own room and a lot of time off duty to explore Italy. Ciao Anja, Naomi, Alyssa
