Au Pair Job Available with American Family in Portland, ORJohn's Au Pair Job 2965315

Hello and welcome!
We’re the Wolf Family—an energetic, close-knit family of five living life to the fullest! There’s John (dad), Joelle (mom), and our three amazing kids: Jack (6), James (5), and Josephine (3).
Our home is also full of life with two playful whippets who love to run and compete, and a cheerful flock of chickens our boys love to care for and cuddle.
As a family, we enjoy cycling, gardening, and weekend adventures—whether that means traveling for dog sports or heading out on a short getaway.
We had such a wonderful experience with our first au pair that we’re excited to welcome another into our home! We’re looking for someone who’s fun, active, and kind—like an older sister to our kids. We want you to feel truly welcome in both our home and our community, and we’ll do everything we can to help you feel at home here.
We’re excited to learn about your culture and traditions and can’t wait to share ours with you in return. We also look forward to bringing you along on family trips, like visiting Crater Lake and other beautiful spots in our region.
John works from home, and Joelle is the primary caregiver for our three little ones. Having another adult around would be a huge help for her—someone to lend a hand and offer support so she has a bit more time to enjoy her hobbies like Jiu-Jitsu, gardening, and dog racing.
If you’re someone who loves kids, enjoys being active, and is looking to become part of a loving, lively family—we’d love to hear from you. We can’t wait to meet you!

Hello!
We’re the Wolf Family—a fun-loving, active family of five living in the Pacific Northwest. Our household includes John (dad), Joelle (mom), and our three wonderful children: Jack (6), James (5), and Josephine (3). With one on the way! We also share our home with two energetic whippets who compete in dog sports and a flock of friendly backyard chickens.
We’re excited to welcome a new au pair into our family! After a fantastic experience with our first au pair, we’re looking for someone kind, enthusiastic, and dependable—like an older sister to our kids—who will become part of our daily life and family adventures.
What We're Looking For:
We’re seeking an au pair who is:
