To whom ever becomes our our prayer, we will immediately view that person as a new member of the family. We are very loving, happy, fun and active family, who are searching for help taking care of our 4 Y.O. Daughter and 7 Y.O. Son. Will provide a new vehicle to help with various requests, such as picking the kids up from school/daycare, grabbing one or two items to complete dinner, or just for any personal needs the au pair (AP) will have. During summer break, the AP may be needed to be the primary care giver for the kids during typical work hours Tue.-Thur. 9:00am - 5::00 pm. I typically work from home on Monday and Friday. Considering we have a pool, it would be preferred the AP knows how to swim, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
We do also have two friendly dogs, that will need to let outside 4-5 times a day and provided food/water, when needed. Another task, where the AP may need to contribute would be help making meals. This includes breakfast for kids in the morning (usually a bowl of cereal or yogurt and sliced fruit), perhaps help with making their lunches for school/daycare, along with helping out with dinner preparation.
Some other responsibilities, where either my wife or myself may request help may include:
……Help keeping the house clean
……Help doing dishes after meals
……Help with entertaining the kids when im not home. Mom needs a break sometimes. When dad is home, this likely won’t be needed. For little free time I have I try to spend playing with them.
……perhaps needing to go and run an errand, or pick up food for dinner, or picking up the kids from school.
As far as living arrangements, the AP would basically have their own apartment in the basement. There is a huge bedroom with a private full bathroom. There is also a large family room, just outside the bedroom, with a ~90 inch TV. Also has a separate entrance to outside of house.
As far as the pay, that’s negotiable, for the "right" person im not remotely worried about the money, as long as we find the perfect personality to fit with my children.  So regarding many of these listed additional skills, certifications and experiences, they would all be great for the AP to possess but most importantly for me is the AP works well with our children. The only exception may be "knows how to swim", with the majority of April through September (at least Friday- Sunday) we will either be relaxing out by the pool, going down to lake house or on vacation at a beach, and all involve water and swimming..  
We are a carefree and laidback family, so a sense of humor might be nice with keeping things light and enjoyable. It’s important to me that I see smiles on my children’s faces. The best part of my day (every day) is that 30 seconds when I first get home and my kids welcome me with a scream of  "Yeah Daddy's Home" and they each give me a big hug.  It's important to me that we all laugh together at least a few times every day.
