We are looking for a live-in Au-Pair Plus to join us at our home in Twickenham starting September 1st to look after our two girls aged 2 and 4. The hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 7:30am to 6pm and Wednesday 7:30-1:30. The main duties include taking the 4 year old to/from school each day and then both to their various activities such as swimming lessons and ballet. Other weekly duties include helping with the girls’ laundry, house cleaning such as vacuuming and bathrooms (Full list to be provided) and light cooking for the children. The two year old is not quite potty trained so there will be a few messy days ahead but hopefully through the worst by Sept 1.
About us: We are an international family with Mum coming from Canada and Dad from New Zealand. We work in architecture and software with Mum often working from home. Generally, we are very laid back, weekend warriors with the kids and also avid social drinkers. We have a 7 year old Chocolate Labrador who loves a cuddle and barking at people coming to the door. Mum loves cooking lovely meals but is also human and sometimes settles for eggs on toast.
The type of person we are looking for would also be laid back yet able to discipline the kids when needed. Someone who is very clean and organised with the kids’ activities and can recognise and lend a hand on extra tasks throughout the day – for example, popping to the shop after the school run to grab milk. Preferences also include someone who speaks French and has a valid driver’s license, though the latter is not needed as you can walk or bus everywhere in Twickenham. International applicants are welcome provided you have a valid visa (working holiday visa is fine). References are also required.
Remuneration will be £700 per month, all room and board, phone or contribution to your own phone plan and a gym pass. Any hours outside of standard will be paid for as babysitting at £10/hour. You will have your own room with a double bed, dresser, wardrobe and TV; bathroom is shared with the girls. You are welcome to have guests come over at any time provided they are good with kids and dogs.
We are looking for a 1 year commitment; the hours will change in September 2019 but the role still available.
