Hi! We live just behind Northcote Road and our Au Pair is soon returning home. I have 3 young children aged 5, 3 and 10 months. I'm looking for an Au Pair who's already in London or is willing to come here for interview and can be recommended by their current family. We are flexible on start date.
Our children are LOVELY, bright, affectionate, fun and not hard to look after. They are always up for anything - bike rides, trips to the playground/park/one o'clock club/swimming/museums/playgroups.
Their hours would be 7.30-9.00 then 3.00-7.00 Monday-Friday with 2 nights babysitting (one at the weekend) per week. Obviously with 3 small children, going out twice a week is EXTREMELY rare!
I am a full-time stay-at-home Mum so I'm looking for a very helpful, willing extra pair of hands. I don't ask the Au Pair to do anything I wouldn't do myself. She should have lots of energy and a genuine interest in and love of children. She needs to be able to cook (not gourmet (!) but Bolognese/pasta/pasta sauces/fish pie/shepherd's pie etc). A good level of English is essential.
Duties include helping get everyone out of the door by 8.10 in the morning (teeth, shoes, coats, bags, snacks, drinks, bikes, scooters, helmets.....etc), tidying up after breakfast, emptying/loading the dishwasher, hanging out washing, preparing lunch, looking after 1 of the children whilst I do the afternoon school run, helping with tea, bathtime and bedtime, stripping the children's beds and occasional children's ironing (our cleaner does most of it).
She would have her own room and bathroom.
I look forward to meeting her!
