Hello,

I am going through Au-pair/nanny search when i came across your profile, We are a cheerful, friendly family in London UK. i have happy and affectionate kids, I will like you to know that I have three kids which their names is Nancy,Kate and Steve. Due to the nature of my work and the unexpected Dead of her Mother I want you as an Au pair nanny for them because I hardly have time for my lovely kids which actually prompted the idea of securing an Au Pair/Nanny to help me look after them. So after scrolling through your profile at http://www.easyaupair.com, both myself and my kids consider you worthy of the job vacancy in our Home. My kids likes playing with trains,drawing,playing on the computer and garden swing, and riding their bikes.and enjoys playing with Lego, art, reading comics, riding around on their scooters and playing with her new Nintendo Wii. We live in a very large modern family.


Home Address:

Description of tasks:

I am looking for someone to get my kids ready in the morning,prepare and clear up the family's breakfast at about 7.30am, make their beds, and take them to school, which is about a 1.5km walk away. The Au pair would then need to pick them up at 3.00 and look after them until i get back home. i might ask the Au pair to babysit 1-2 evenings a week. We have a really great cleaner, so there wouldn't be any heavy housework. There is a bit of light cleaning and laundry which would take about 90minutes a day in total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language school if you wish to attend, and there are a lot of good ones in the area.

Living arrangements:

The Au pair would have her own room, which is huge, and has a double bed, with sitting area and TV/DVD/Video/ Hifi. There is wireless broadband internet in the house.. You can even use one of our cars all weekend! Also 2 weeks are paid holiday during Christmas/New Year plus another 2 weeks during the year.We are looking for someone with a good sense of humour. If you love children and could help us provide a loving environment combiningroutine and fun for my kids then we would like to welcome you to our family as a friend and a big sister to my kids. Housework is not an important part of the Au pair job, being part of our family and helping my kids develop and learn is the main thing. We are really flexible.

Working hours:

07.30 to 09.00 and 1500 to 1900 Plus about 60-90 minutes of housework a day to fit in with the Au pair's schedule. Some Friday afternoons off.Total 25-30 hours a week

Benefits :

We will be paying you 1500 pounds for every Month. A pocket money of 400 pounds per week as your pocket money. And you will also be having your own car if you can drive.

Other information:
The Au pair would be part of the family, and we certainly don't expect a servant! We have had lots of Au pairs in the past,and we are used to helping people get to know the area and make friends.

Warm Regards
Mr.Stephen Welsh & family
