Dear Au Pair we have decided to find an au pair because we need help looking after our children and with some light housework. We are looking for an au pair to be a big sister to our children and to become another member of our family. My name is Jane Campbell and I am thirty one years old, I am a College Teacher teaching Chemistry. My husband Cory is thirty six years old and works as a Engineer. We live in will live in United State of America 10734 Stonebridge Blvd, Boca Raton, Fl. a four bedroom house and have 2 Kids namely Kate and Lizzy. The children do have a number of activities in a week and we would like you to take them to some of them. We will require you to baby-sit and need you to help us in our home each week with light housework. We will pay you $1700 monthly for your salary and $400 weekly for your pocket money incase you have any other things to get for your self. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom why the kids have their own bedroom and bathroom. We do have any pets and we do not smoke. We need an au pair to start with us in January or February and stay until at least July. We are a fun young family looking for a kind hearted fun au pair to mix in with our family. If you are interested and would consider being our au pair please contact us. We need someone to take care of our kids whilst we are out at work during the week. They are aged 3 & 6 yr old and both go to school. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats so animal lover essential. When the kids are at school we need someone to do a bit of house work. The evenings and weekends would be yours, whether it be joining in with the family or doing your own thing. We only go out once or twice every couple of months, so we will rarely require you in the evenings. There is a car for your use when we are not at work. You need to be able to become a part of the family and treat it as your own home. We want someone who wants to be a part of the family and not just here for the job. We are a relaxed and easy going family who takes things as they come. Dad is away a lot with work so the week days are just me and the kids. So I really enjoy the girlie company also. As a family we all have different interests from playing the piano, swimming, trying to play guitar, reading, finding worms, scuba diving in the summer months, painting, enjoying the outdoors with the dogs, cooking, watching a good movie, splashing in puddles, Xbox and spending time as a family. We have 2 large dogs who as every much part of the family, so animal lover is essential. We want a lovely person who is trustworthy and fun to come and join in with family life here. We have had 4 au pairs for the last 3 years and they have all been a big part of the family Primary responsibility is caring for two small girls, ages 3 and 6. 6 year old is in school majority of the day (Kindergarten). Duties include basic care of children - feeding, playing, etc. Two small dogs will require to be let out a few times daily. Light housekeeping for the children's common areas (bedrooms and playroom) just to keep clean and tidy and meal preparation/clean up in kitchen after eating etc.We are really looking forward to having an Au Pair so we can bring new traditions into our home and introduce other cultures to our children. We love learning new things, and I know that our whole family will enjoy having someone from another country in our home. We also hope to be able to teach our Au Pair something about American and Jewish life and help to improve her English. We are so excited to be able to have this opportunity, and we are eager to meet you!. Kate and Lizzy are two kids and are the cutest kids you'll ever see! They are both very good-natured, eat well and sleep well. They love to play and explore everything.
Looking forward to hearing from a fun person wanting to join our family. Pls kindly write me back to me email address [email protected]
Kisses and Hugs From The Kids To you
Sincerely, Jane Campbell Family

My advice to you is that you make all the expenses to reach here in United State and i shall be responsible for refund for every expenses made by you immediately you get here because why I said so is that I have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months
which they did not come to my home but went to somewhere else and that is why I vowed that any Nannies that I will employ, will make all expenses by himself/herself ,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies and you are ready to work with my family here in U..S because I do not want someone who do not care about kids because I cherish my kids a lot.
