Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
I run my family's farm shop/ cafe/ events business which is just across the road from where we live. Euan is a long haul airline pilot for British Airways. We have a busy life and every week is different. The girls are absolutely wonderful, Margot is small with a huge personality and makes us laugh every day! Darcie is so happy, growing up quickly and adores her older sister. We have beautiful dog called Ivy who has loads of energy.
We are looking for an active, fun Au Pair to fit into our busy family life and help us with the girls. We are super friendly and want someone to be part of our family and enjoy our home.
Job Description
Since we both have different work schedules each week hours are likely to vary each week and we are looking for someone flexible who can fit in. Due to our jobs we do have to both work some evenings and weekends so will need someone happy to work at these times and have days off during the week. Flexibility is key for us.
We have lots of family nearby who we like to spend time with and can also help with the girls when needed (my parents live on the same street!)
Ideally we would like someone who can drive (can be insured on our car) and take the girls out to play groups, parks etc., as well as have fun with them at home. We have a lovely playroom with lots of toys and a big garden and love to encourage them to play outside and Margot is enjoying helping me with gardening already.
We would like someone with childcare experience, preferably with babies too. Someone who enjoys cooking from scratch is also important to us as we would like the au pair to help prepare healthy meals for the girls.
My family have a cottage in the New Forest (about 2 hours away) which is a beautiful National Park which we we like to visit and it's also on the South Coast. Euan is Scottish and we love to go away here too and ideally would like someone who is happy to come along occasionally.

Family Description
Accommodation
Whilst we live in a country lane we are close to many villages and towns including Great Missenden, Amersham and High Wycombe with plenty of independent restaurants and shops. Our area is called the Chiltern Hills and it is an extremely desirable area since it is so close to London (just 40 minutes by train). We are also only 35 minutes from London Heathrow airport. There are plenty of footpaths and cycle routes to explore in our area so is perfect for someone who enjoys being outside.
My parents live across the road and have an outdoor swimming pool which you would be welcome to use with the girls throughout the summer months .
