Work abroad in Samantha (Sam)'s family for 6-12 Months starting from Mar 2023 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 1 - 5 years old & 6 - 10 years old in Edithvale, Victoria Australia

The job would be slightly flexible, however it would be great if you could watch Jack and Georgia:
- Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:00am (when I need to leave for work) -8:30/9:00 when you could walk them to school (around a 10 minute walk) for school drop off.
- Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings picking them up from school at 3:30 and bringing them home until I get home from work (anywhere from 5:00 and 6:00). They are allowed on their ipads from 4:00 so in this time it would be great if you could do some basic kid-dinner prep, put away any of their laundry or empty the dishwasher. Other than that, or if none of that needs to be done, it can just be time to relax while they're occupied! (obviously would still count towards your hours though)

I work Monday-Thursday so Friday-Sunday is a bit more flexible. They are at their dad's house every Wednesday night, so from the time you drop them at school on a Wednesday morning until you pick them up on a Thursday afternoon would always just be your own time.
Every second weekend they are also at their dad's, so from the time I get home on a Thursday until dropping them off on Monday morning would be your time as well (I might occasionally ask if you can babysit on a Thursday night but wouldn't be too often and would always give plenty of advanced notice)

Additional hours might include:
- an hour or so in the evening (or during the day on the weekend) 2 or 3 times a week while I go for a run
- an occasional day at home with them if one of them is unwell (only mild illnesses, if they are really sick and need proper taking care of, I would take the day off work...). Generally if they're too unwell for school but not overly sick they are happy to just be on their ipads for the day as this is a novelty for them!! This could be negotiated and would obviously mean that other days that week you wouldn't need to do anything to make up for the extra hours on the one day)
- An occasional evening babysitting (with advanced notice and less hours the rest of the week to make up for this)
- Occasionally coming with us when we go out on the weekends as an extra set of hands (happy to plan these things in advance and you to come along to the things that interest you the most and you would like to see as well!)
- Possibly coming away with us when we go away for weekends away, again as an extra set of hands, but with plenty of down time to yourself as well to explore and do your own thing!

I'm pretty flexible with a lot of the stuff - even the mornings and afternoons, if you have something planned on one of the days when you take them/pick them up from school, and let me know in advance, I'm happy to work with your plans as well and can book them into the before/after school program, as they are used to going to that at the moment anyways.

I'm originally from Canada and have no family here, and their dad isn't all that helpful, so I'm really just looking for an extra set of hands to make life a bit easier!
