My family is an easy going fun fair and catholic worshiper who respect other people religion and will not count that against any Au pair that will want to work for my family and lovely kids. I have 2 kids named Robbin and Kate, they are the apple of my eyes and i don't play with them at all, they are very intelligent and smart kids. I work full time and the children have a full set of activities they enjoy. I have a very loving family & will welcome the right candidate & make them feel very welcome in my house. I am seeking an Au Pair who is honest, reliable, kind & considerate. I would like some English to be spoken, but am happy to provide & pay for an English course for the successful applicant in my home! I am looking for someone to join our family and help take some of the day to day pressure off me so that we can all enjoy the good things of family life. As a family we enjoy barbecue (weather permitting),socializing, generally having fun, reading, computers, TV, the boy love computer games and my daughter arts & crafts. Food is another great love of ours - given the time I enjoy cooking.
I will want an Au pair that is ready to come over hear hopefully by first week of next month,She will be treated as part of my family and not just like an Au pair.You will be paid a sum of 625 Pounds on weekly bases, also you will be paid 150 Pounds per week as your pocket money and will be subjected to changes base on your performance.I will take care of Possibly health insurance and car insurance and you will travel with us on vacation with some free time off.Also I will want you play with the kids and teach them new things so as to widen their horizon,all necessary incentives like your personal car,accommodation,bathroom e.t.c will be taking care of by me. Other incentives will be added to your salary which will be disclose to you when you get to my family. What i need is a your honesty and love for my kids that is all.
