The au pair's responsibilities are mostly in the morning getting the boys ready for school and then after they come home. During the school year, the schedule is pretty routine: breakfast, school, karate/tennis/basketball or other after-school activity, homework, instruments, dinner, bedtime. Driving and keeping the boys' activity schedule is a large part of the job.

The boys can eat, shower and dress by themselves (with some reminders, i.e. nagging….), but need laundry cleaned, some help with homework and meals prepped if Mom isn’t home.

Dad was Norwegian and the boys are learning the language so they can speak to relatives when we visit them every year. We have had 2 Norwegian au pairs and an online tutor during Covid. Part of the au pair's task will be to speak in Norwegian with the boys in regular conversation so it becomes part of their lives.

The majority of the au pair work is during the week, so you would have weekends off! The position also comes with a paid phone and we are always open to input on activities and meals.

In our home, the au pair is an adult and will always be treated as such. They are viewed as a member of the family and a partner in caring for the boys.

We would love to get to know you better and share our story with you via video chat!
