Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hello!

We’re a family of 4 with an 8 year old daughter (2025) and have recently welcomed our 6 year old foster daughter. Our children will be in either daycare, or school during the day between 9am - 3:45pm. We could be joined by additional foster children, no older than 12. We’re seeking someone who wouldn’t mind sharing a home with a family. Although we currently only have 1 foster child, we are licensed for 4, which would be a total of up to 5, including our biological daughter. Our Au Pair would have their own bedroom, but we understand the need for privacy and time to yourself, therefore, there would be the opportunity to spend some nights in the 1 bedroom apartment/garden unit Airbnb in our home some portions of the month (see the last few pics). This is typically possible when there are 3 or more consecutive vacant days. Please note summers are busy. There will likely be more available days in fall and winter.
In the best interest of everyone, when we receive a call for a foster child, we take great care in considering the children’s needs, what our household is truly capable of at that time, whether it’s long term or short term, and if we’re a good fit for each other.

We live in West Ridge/Rogers Park, Chicago, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country. People comment on how safe and quiet the neighborhood feels. We’re also walking distance to popular Devon Avenue, “Down the street and around the world”. Only 10 minutes drive to beaches at beautiful Lake Michigan.

Job Description

My husbands schedule is somewhat consistent and he works days, but my schedule varies throughout the year and I currently work evenings.

We’re seeking your help weekdays 7-9am and then 3:30-8pm (stop time is much earlier if the home is well and settled). These times change slightly depending on whether it’s during the school year or during the summer/camp.

More details.—Help them up and ready for school, possible light breakfast (but no worries if not, they are provided breakfast at school and daycare), drop-off at school at 8:45am. Pick-up at 3:45pm, snack, homework, prepare dinner (this can be started during the day if preferred), prepare for next day. We’d prefer someone who genuinely enjoys cooking. Other things we’d need help with are light housekeeping and organizing. Some date nights or weekend hours now and then, but most weekend hours you’re free to enjoy the city or even a short trip. Maybe swap a weekday dinner for a Sunday meal sometimes if you’d like.

Driver’s license not required but must be comfortable walking the children in any Chicago season. As the saying goes — “There’s no bad weather. Only bad clothing.”?? Not to worry. School is on our street, within 5 minutes walking distance and the walk to daycare is 15 minutes. Chicago also has a very well connected transportation system at your fingertips with access to most anywhere in the city by bus or train. Bus stops are a 5 minute walk from the house. If you do have a license, you’ll have access to a shared vehicle for kids appointments or personal use.

Are you kind, but firm? Patient, consistent and trustworthy? Do you genuinely like to cook for others? Do you enjoy sharing about your culture?

We’d love to hear from you!
