Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hi there,

We are looking for someone to join our family and hope that this could be you.
We live in a small village, not from Cork City (2nd biggest city in Ireland) in the south of Ireland. I am originally from Austria, but moved here after meeting my Irish husband in 2012. So our family is a bit of a culture a language mix :-)
We are raising our kids bilingual (English-German with a bit of 'Austrian' ;-)) and would love for our Au-Pair/Granny Au-Pair to support this. We would hope you could speak German with the kids, but fear not if you like to improve your English. There will still be ample opportunity for that as my husband only speaks English.

I work a boring office job while my husband chases criminals (or at least this is how our kids envision it, as he is a police officer ;-)).

We have three kids. Two of them in school by the time you join us and our youngest (almost 2 by the time you are here) who will be permanently home. We also have two dogs (pomskys), which are two fluff balls and love cuddles and to play or gof or walks :-) You woukd be more than welcome to do so, but it would not be expected of you.

As we live in a village in the country side, with not many public transport options, we would need for you to drive. You would share the car with me. We be happy for you to take the car for trips you take to discover the island if you wish, as long as you give notice and we can work around it with schedules :-)

We are a quite sporty family, we all play team sports and love skiing in winter and swimming in summer.

If you liked what you ready, I would love to hear from you.

Liebe Grüße,
Alexandra

Job Description

We would mainly like for you to look after the children and help with their German language skills.

Our two older kids are in school from 9 to 3pm, but our youngest would be at home with you.

Some days it might also be required to bring the kids to an activity like sport training or piano, but we often do that ourselves too.

Your work hours would align with my husbands shift work but you would never work on weekends as I am off weekends. We probably would need you some evenings depending on his shift and my meetings (I work some American times), but it is not a given and would depend on the weeks.
