Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
Originally translated from DeutschWe are Willi (1), Bodo (3), Andrea (41) and René (45). We live in the beautiful and diverse city of Essen in the middle of the Ruhr area and would be happy if you would take part in our active family life for a year, support us with everyday tasks and expand our horizons with your presence and the culture you bring with you.
We, René and Andrea, know each other from studying sports and art and are both teachers. We have traveled a lot over the many years of our relationship and love discovering countries and cultures.
With our two boys, the trips aren't quite as far at the moment, but you would certainly bring an international flair with you. :)
In the summer of 24, I, Andrea, will be returning to my job after taking a break to look after the children and the boys will be going to childcare. We would be happy if you would support us in our daily life with the children from then on.
We both speak English. We are also currently learning the basics of Spanish and René knows a bit of French.
Our house is located directly on the beautiful Baldeneysee, which is ideal for jogging, skating, cycling, sailing, rowing and paddling. In our Essen-Heisingen district, all shops for your daily needs can be found within walking distance. The bus stop is 100 m away and has two bus routes to the city center and the neighboring district. Buses run regularly into the city every 10 minutes. The center can be reached in 30 minutes. There is a lot to experience and discover in Essen and the Ruhr area.
You should enjoy spending time with children and other people, be able to contribute independently - even with housework - and be an active person. It would be nice if you also liked riding a bike and could cook a little.
We look forward to getting to know you :)
Job Description
Originally translated from DeutschApart from that, we want to ease the burden on everyday life so that we can spend as much relaxing time as possible with our children and family despite our jobs.
Since the children are in kindergarten until the afternoon, the daily childcare hours for the au pair are not that high. However, in the event of illness of the children or loss of care from the kindergarten, the au pair should take over full care of the children at home and the children should be looked after in the evenings about once a week. We would also like relief through help around the house (shopping, keeping things tidy, setting/clearing the table, unloading the dishwasher, etc.)
In order to be able to drop off and pick up the boys from kindergarten or other leisure activities, a driver's license or, preferably, the ability to ride a bike is required, as we use cargo bikes for many routes.
We also look forward to cultural exchange in both directions. We hope that not only our au pair's horizons will expand, but also our own and the children's.
In order for family life to work well, we want someone with whom we can communicate about everything, who is reliable and has good independence. He also recognizes when something needs to be done and takes things into his own hands.
We look forward to seeing you!
