Dear Aupair,

My Family is looking for a reliable, caring, hardworking, playful and honest Aupair housekeeper to take care of the house while im away and look after the kids.


I am looking for someone who is able to articulate with my daughter help her with her home work, cook meals have a high hygiene standard help with school runs, can speak English,I have a dog, so must be animal friendly and who will enjoy playing games, going to the park, swimming and horse riding.

I run a business so I am quite flexible with time, I will do the school runs on most morning but require someone to collect my kids from school and on occasions take them to or pick from private lessons.

I would prefer a non smoker and someone who is easy going.

Kindly reply to this email so we can discus further on your entry arrangment, and earliest start work date.

Be kind enough to enclose a copy of your CV/Resume in responds to this email.

Best regards,

Alexander Mackenzie.
For the Family.

Dearest,

It is my greatest pleasure exchanging mails with you, We are a family of 5, Amelia (my wife, 37 years old, a doctor), I (Alex, 36 years old, Australian - English Speaking, Businessman), Nathan (almost 7), Sophia (almost18) and my father. I was born and bred in Australia and came to Englanda in 1998.

We really see you as being part of our us and somebody who helps us out with the kids. Sophia has to work a lot, doing the household takes a lot of time, and we decided that an au pair would help us to give our children more quality time with someone, We can afford to pay you GBP 1,420(One thousand four hundred and twenty pounds sterling) per month so that you can put in your best while taking care of them.

We would enjoy it if you are a person who enjoys doing lots of stuff with the kids, coloring in, going cycling, playing outside, reading stories, etc. Our prime objective is to get our children to be happy, independent little beings and this is where we want you to help us.

This would also naturally mean, that sometimes you would have to help with household chores, because we also enjoy spending time with the kids. I would say that 75% of the time will be spent on the kids, 25% on household chores.

You will get 5,5 weeks holiday (of which 3,5 weeks must be taken in March) the rest is up to you. We have an open home, like visitors (also yours, as long as you do not have thousands of them!) Now a bit more about us as a family: My wife is a well balanced and sporty, interested in many things, a committed wife and mother.

I would describe myself as a friendly and sporty father of two, with outgoing personality, who is well adapted to the Australia lifestyle, loves outdoor activities Nathan is a friendly little boy, who loves to play with her friends, but can also play alone really nicely.

He is a bit shy and checks things out before he participates, Very caring and easy to get along with. He loves singing and dancing and is more artistic I would say. He enjoys being read to and relationship oriented Nathan loves being outside and copying her bigger sister. She can be very funny and makes many people smile. he knows what she wants (and what not).

Sophia is very much like Nathan. A friendly little woman. Usually happy with herself and with life as such. He speaks very little, but can make very clear what she wants. She loves cars and animals The children are all well behaved and easy to get along with. Obviously they can also throw their tantrums, but I must honestly say that happens very seldom. If they are told to do something, 45% of the times they will do it, while our current aupair handle the others.


They just love cuddles and really give us and our current au pair, Suzzy lots of joy. I would suggest that you maybe speak to/email with Suzzy if you would like to know what it is like being in our family. I can tell you a lot of wonderful things, she can tell you if it is all true.

It is my intention that you work for family for minimum of 18 months, you will go into contract with my family as an our new au pair, We shall be shouldering your entry expenses, but before that, we must confirm your Security Clearance with UK Border Agency before commencement of your visa approval at the UK Home Office, as this is due to our bad experience in inviting an au pair, after we secured her entrance to UK she after all arrangement is made. But we advise you wait while we prepare the Contract Agreement Letter as we will also give you directives on the entrance proceeding.
I included my family picture in the attachment.

We are excited to see who will join us next year!

Warm Regards,

Alex Mackenzie
