Work abroad in Lydia's family for 12-24 Months starting from Mar 2024 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 1 - 5 years old in Bow Island, Alberta Canada

Hi There!

We are a family of 4 looking for childcare. Our daughter is 2.5, our son is 5.5. We live in Southern Alberta, Canada. It is a 15 minute drive to the nearest small town which has anything we'd ever need, but not a lot of selection. The nearest large center is a 60 minute drive. Applicants must be experienced drivers and should be okay with living a quieter social life considering our rural location.

Our son is epileptic with a speech delay. He completely understands and comprehends everything, but has difficulty verbalizing things. We do require an applicant who has extra patience to understand how he speaks. We aren't looking for a speech therapist, simply wanting applicants to be aware of his delay. He has difficulty annunciating certain consonants and will sometimes get stuck on one word, kind of like a stutter.

We would require applicants to also do some housekeeping, yardwork and light cooking. We are an outdoors family, the more outside activity the better!

We do have appointments with our kids and try to schedule those as far in advance as possible. For some appointments we need the applicant to come with us, for others we don't. Flexibility that way is appreciated.
