Hello and welcome! I am delighted to introduce you to our family and give you a glimpse of our daily life. Our household consists of five members: myself, my husband, our 11-year-old daughter, our 6-year-old son, and my best friend who also works as my assistant.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a home where we contribute collectively. While we don't have a live-in maid, we do hire a cleaning service once or twice a week. For the rest of the time, my best friend and I manage the household chores. I'd love for us to share some simple tasks during the weekdays.

You'll have a private room for yourself. Our children attend a boarding school and come home every Wednesday evening. We send them back on Thursday mornings. On Fridays, we pick them up in the afternoon and evening, and they stay with us until the following Thursday afternoon.

We hope to share our breakfasts and dinners together, but for weekdays' lunch, you might need to prepare your meals as we're often not home. I believe it could be a fun culinary adventure for you!

On weekends, when the children are home, your primary focus would be to help improve their English. During these days, we dedicate our time to them, often indulging in outdoor activities, sports, or short trips. We are a travel-loving family and typically take vacations during school holidays. We would be more than happy to have you join us on our adventures if you're interested.

Our family atmosphere is warm and friendly. All adults in the house, including myself, my husband, and my best friend, are in our early 30s. We're a jovial, open-minded, and fun-loving group and are eagerly waiting for a cheerful, patient, English-speaking young lady who shares similar values. A bit of cooking skills would be a plus!

A few essential things to note:

We do not tolerate abusive language, physical violence, or smoking.
It's essential to show respect to all family members and maintain hygiene.
You're kindly requested not to bring friends over.
Our main goal is to have our children exposed to the English language in a natural environment. With your assistance, I believe we can make this experience beneficial for both you and our kids.

Once again, welcome to our loving home. We look forward to sharing many wonderful memories together!

Warmest regards

Dear Au Pair,
