Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hey there...

So we live in Southbourne, which is two miles from Bournemouth. Our house is a five minute walk from the beach, and three minutes from the high street. It's a beautiful part of the world with gorgeous 7 mile beach, the beautiful New Forest and the Purbecks 30 minutes away. Equally there's an easy route up to London on the train which is a 10 minute walk away and it take 1 hour 50 to get to London... it's a trip I take frequently and one we'd all take together as well.

We're close to public transport to get into town - with both buses and local bikes and scooter you can access easily. In reality Southbourne itself has pretty much all you need and lots of people stay locally. There's a great English language school (Southbourne School of English) that is very popular and well respected about 10 minutes walk away.

Job Description

So... I've not had an Au-pair before, and I've googled around what makes a good partnership with one. Because that's what I see it as. What do you, as a potential Au-pair want from your time with us and how do we accommodate that and what are we looking for.

In short the most important thing is finding a win-win. Wanting to learn English - no problem - we can help with that. Both through how we communicate, introducing you to other friends, helping you establish a friendship group and even introducing you to potential friends via church (if you're a Christian).

Values are most important - taking the care and welfare of my kids importantly, and making sure that you are trustworthy. So integrity, honesty, kindness, respect, love, openness, honesty, vulnerability, support, speaking well of each other, agreeableness, healthy boundaries. I will be a great champion and support of you and will look to help you get out from the experience all you are looking for.

Day to day, there will be the need to have help with getting out to school in the morning, prepping dinner, helping with homework, going out on excursions, household and domestic chores.

We have our dog with us a lot when the kids are around (moves between houses) so loving dogs would really help, and going on a walk, run with us all each day would be brilliant. This next year we're keen to improve the healthiness in the house.

But I think the ideas of the responsibilities and timings of these will emerge after conversations understanding what is important to you too.

Accommodation

We have a one bedroom luxury shepherds hut and also a cosy 2 bed ground apartment with garden. The shepherds hut in the garden has its own shower, toilet and little kitchenette and double bed. We will be installing a log burner as well.

Our plan is to build an extension this year which will also give extra space for my daughter to have her own room and to improve the outdoor space which will have a sauna and hot tub and outdoor dining space.

The apartment is well set up with wifi, smart TV, washing machine, dishwasher, air-fryer, slowcooker, soup and ice cream maker, oven, blender, hob, combi boiler and smart radiators, apple homekit and homepods.

In the lounge there's a lovely fire and dining table, and evenings are often spent with the fire on. It's a very chilled out and relaxed environment.
