Dear Au-pair, sorry for getting back to you late.My name's john and my wife is sheila.We are a happy English family working and living in the UNITED KINGDOM. We live with my 3 children peter age 3&1/2,James age 8 and jessica age 5 we live in Birmingham. Birmingham is a lively city in the West Midlands of England with plenty to offer and many activities available. However it is just a short distance from the countryside and the sea if you prefer to relax. We have a Duplex house with a nice garden and outside patio area. I work as a company owner(mini-company) 3 -4 days a week only so life is often busy and my wife work as nurse. We'll like someone to come and join our small family and help us out with childcare and a few household tasks, errands and Kids Care as outlined above. I need a flexible individual as our job means we sometimes work longer hours and do shifts so everyday cannot be planned exactly and i cant offer set hours. However, this makes life spontaneous and quite fun sometimes . WE would like someone who is reliable, trustworthy and responsible in doing their tasks particularly related to the Kids care but is also keen to engage with the family. The kids love meeting new people and form good relationships with their Caresse requited lively but very lovely. They are inquisitive and love doing sports , creative tasks, baking, role play and exploring the outside. You must have lots of energy and be cheerful. They are spirited but very loving children and respond best to warm and affectionate people We would like you to feel part of the family but you will have lots of time off to explore the city, learn the language or study and make friends at least 2-3 full days a week and many free hours in the day. However you will always be welcome to join us for family activities and trips , including weekends away. but also to make your own friends.You must have some experience of caring and genuine enjoyment for young children and an understanding of their needs and behavior. you must be very reliable, organized and good at time keeping when in comes to managing your tasks and picking up and dropping off children but be creative fun-loving and playful when in comes to entertaining them! I need someone who is flexible,endurable and adaptable and will fit in with our family. I would like to develop a mutually respectful relationship. You must have good English but need not be fluent and we hope we can help you develop that during your stay If you can drive that is great but there are good bus links in Birmingham and the schools and activities are in easy walking so it is not necessary. I have a bike you can borrow. DUTIES hours would be around 40/wk, most of these would be worked over 3 days, with a couple of hours required on 2 days and at least 2 full days off per week Duties would include: drop -off at pre-school 2 year old and school year old 3-4 days a week i leave at 7.15am days a week so a few early starts ! but you can lie in other days pick up from per-school and school 3 -4 days a week. Bringing the children home , preparing their teas you must be able to cook simple nutritious meals for the children, playing and reading with them until I get home from work and bathing them sometimes a few more childcare hours may be needed in the holidays activities with the children - trips to park, creative activities, taking them to swimming/ ballet class etc.We have a cleaner so do not need you to do housekeeping or cleaning but only Light housework e.g tidying, keeping the children's room tidy, changing beds, helping with washing, unloading dishwasher and making children pack lunch Also a few bits of shopping and errands e.g. unloading deliveries of shopping would be helpful from time to time BENEFITS All food and board. I would like you to join us for family dinners Very nights a week Pocket money at £20-50 week depending on duties/experience I respect peoples need for privacy and you would have your own pretty bedroom which I have just redecorated with a bed, chair, desk, built in wardrobe, TV and internet.it is spacious, clean and lockable . we have a separate downstairs toilet.
