Work abroad as an Au Pair in Chingford, Greater London United Kingdom for 10-12 months in Adele's family

Ideally, our new au pair will be available to start between the end of July to the start of September.

We would need our Au pair to work weekdays (5 days per week) and look after the children before and after school. We imagine that her working day would start at 07:30am, give the children breakfast and help the children get ready for school. Take the children to school by 08:45am. Return to the family home, ensuring all has been tidied from the children’s morning activities. The Au pair will then be free from 9am till 3:15pm At 3:15pm, our Au Pair would then need to collect the children from school, bring them home, get them changed out of their school uniform, prepare them a snack, support them in completing their home work and prepare their dinner. On a couple of days per week, the children may have after school activities such as swimming. This would require the Au pair to take the boys there on the bus, help them get ready either side, then bring them home again. I would hope to be home from work by 6pm, in which case I would then take over with bathing the children and putting them to bed. So 6pm is when the au pair's day of work would finish. However, if I am running late, I may need to ask the au pair to start off the bed time routine for me. This would be a total of 4 hours and 15mins per day, amounting to 22hours per week. However, we would like to round this up to 30 hours for flexibility. There would also be additional babysitting, approximately 2 evenings per week. The arrangements may need to change in the school holidays, depending on the children’s activities. The allowance given would reflect this. We would expect the Au pair to undertake chores that are related to the care of the children, such as preparing their meals and cleaning up afterwards, in addition to some other light housework. We would expect that the au pair also kept her own room clean and tidy, and undertake her own washing etc. We have a cleaner who comes once per week. We would offer a 'pay as you go' phone contract and to pay for the bus journeys required in looking after our children. We only speak English, however, we know a few words in other languages. But we certainly will be speaking with our Au pair in English. Our Au Pair would need to have a very good level of English. We do have a close, friendly community and have many friends from other backgrounds. So we are confident we could find a friend who speaks your language to support you or be a point of contact. We also welcome our Au pair to teach our children their language, they would really enjoy that. We would like our Au Pair to share meal times with us, however, with our work schedules, we don’t always eat together. In the evenings, we mostly like to relax in front of the TV as our work is extremely tiring. We would be happy for our au pair to relax with us in the evenings, or equally, she is welcome to retreat to another living room or her own space. We like to spend the weekends relaxing at home, or working in the garden. We would occasionally arrange an activity if we all have a day off together. Our au pair is welcome to join us, or indeed, take time for herself. I imagine that when we take a family holiday, we might just like it to be the 4 of us so we can have that special time together. However, we would look to have these arrangements made early so we could assist our au pair in having a trip home to visit her family and friends.
