Feeling adventurous?  Try this Italian au pair who has gained settled status especially to enjoy the English weather.  None of the several families she's worked for have reported casualties, despite her extensive and at times experimental cooking.  She also offers to help with school runs, cleaning,...

Re: part-time live-in nanny or au pair plus

I would be interested in discussing this, as I have always been with families who had older kids and I can offer a lot of flexibility. Please let me know how we can talk.

Re: Aupair / housekeeper with settled status available

I agree, it’s the 10+ that’s letting you down. Many parents don’t need help with that age group especially as so many of us can now wfh as kids that age are quite self-sufficient for a couple of hours and don’t need taking to and from school. Just a couple of points: 1) I mainly offer housework, co...

Re: Aupair / housekeeper with settled status available

Hi Dania, Your post made me smile, too! I suspect that once the children are 10+ families will need less support, so with the increase in the cost of living an aupair to help with older children might seem an unnecessary expense.

Re: Aupair / housekeeper with settled status available

@ AbbevilleMummy Thank you, glad you enjoyed my post! Unfortunately no family with kids 10+ seems interested, as I'm getting no replies at all. Must be the recession? @ gemima  I'm surprised too. Some families apparently prefer to pay for flights rather than interviewing someone who is already in Lo...

Aupair / housekeeper with settled status available

What's going on with the English families who won't even talk to candidates unless they are Aussies, Kiwis, or Canadians? Does this mean that having settled status and a preference for grey skies count for nothing? If it is the prospect of hearing a flat Italian intonation that understandably terrif...
