Dear future Nanny/Au-pair,
We are a young and active family of 3 looking for a live-in ONLY nanny/a-pair/tutor to look after my 11+ years old son and 15+ years old daughter. We live in a small town by the lake of Zurich, 20Km (13 miles) from the centre of Zurich.
We expect our nanny to have a positive caring attitude and open mind towards family values, be fun and loving with children, be patient and smiley. Ideally we would like our nanny to stay with us for 6 months or longer to provide some continuity for our children, but will consider a shorter stay ( 1-3 months) for the right candidate.
We speak in 3 different languages (English, German and Russian) in our family. Our children are adorable and very precious. We need someone who is very responsible, caring and trustworthy. If you are the right caregiver, please get in touch with us. We need you and look forward to welcoming to our family.

Family references from former Au pairs
"The family is extremely friendly and caring. For the short period of time that I worked with them, they made a huge effort to make me feel very comfortable. They were willing to attend to any of my needs, and were determined to make me feel like a part of the family. For any au pair or nanny, the family would make a perfect host family. Their daughter, Sophia, is a very bright, outgoing, and friendly young girl. After only spending a few days with her, she had already warmed to me. She is eager to learn and play, whilst willingly involving her minder in her activities. Sophia truly is a lovely young girl. In addition to the nature of the family, the surrounding environment of their home is a great destination for an au pair. As the home is in close proximity to Switzerland's largest city, Zurich, it is hard to find oneself bored during time off. Based on my experience, I guarantee that any au pair would have a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable experience working with the family."
