Work abroad in Stefan's family for 10-12 Months starting from Mar 2024 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 1 - 5 years old in Brakel, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany

Our experience report:
The annual period for our au pair from Tajikistan ended on December 19th. After we first had bad luck with a girl from Kyrgyzstan three years ago (who didn't want to be an AuPair) and our next AuPair from Tajikistan accepted a vacant FSJ position after just 7 months, we were little illusioned. What can you say now? We were absolutely lucky. Our AuPair has become an integral part of our family. It is 100% reliable. We never set a stopwatch and luckily neither did our au pair. As a fully integrated family member, the time would have been difficult to define. Our au pair was always at our side, even if the vacation quickly cost twice as much (because of course she needed her own room). We paid for our AuPair to take very good online German courses (currently 1.5 hours three times a week). She is constantly learning, even though she also speaks Russian perfectly in addition to Farsi and our children also speak Russian. Without FSJ it starts directly on February 1st. in training to become a “health nurse”. She is completing her training around 150 km away from us, as she will be sharing a flat with her sister there. She was also previously an AuPair and is now training to become a “dental assistant” in an FSJ. Both great girls. Both very determined. By the way: although she is a practicing Muslim and we are Christians, everything went smoothly (even swimming in a burkini).
About us again: we are a German-Russian family and (still) commute back and forth between two places of residence - Siddessen in East Westphalia with under 500 inhabitants and Moscow in Russia with more than 15 million inhabitants. Our children are 3 and 5 years old and are currently attending the German daycare center. Our daughter will start elementary school in August 2024. We have not yet finally decided whether we really want to start school in Germany or whether we should choose the German school in Moscow a year later (there are different school starting ages). My wife runs a travel agency in Moscow and I run an insurance agency in Siddessen.
If you can imagine being part of our family for a year, we look forward to receiving your application.
You should come from the CIS countries and speak good Russian. We look forward to your message.
