Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hello future big sister! Below is a little about us and we hope you find it useful. We look forward to getting to know you and answering any questions you have once your review the information.

We are an experienced Host Family Seeking an experienced Au Pair

About Us:
We're a family of four living in remote Exmouth, Western Australia, near the stunning Ningaloo Reef. We have two boys, Hugo (nearly 3 years old) and Mak (7 months) and a lovely older dog, Mana. We run a tourism business called Live Ningaloo and we are expanding. I (Mum) work part-time from home, focusing on strategy, special projects, and marketing, while my partner, Murray, works full-time in the business. We’re looking for an extra set of hands to be part of our family who has experience with young kids and can balance both of their needs. Mak is breastfed on demand and occasionally bottle-fed. I'll never be far away but a few blocks of time away from the kids each day is necessary for me to get done what I need to support our family. We love spending time together, enjoying good homemade food, and soaking up daily adventures at the kids' pace. Hugo is a mechanically minded, adventure-loving kiddo who is fun to look after. Mak is a typical baby who loves attention and being held.

Location:
We live in rural Exmouth, Western Australia, famous for the Ningaloo Reef. It's a 14-hour drive or a 1.5-2.5 hour flight north of Perth.


❌ This is not a role for city lovers. We live in the outback, in a charming town where locals know everyone. It’s rural, remote living, and we will cover more about what this feels like day-to-day in the interview. It’s a special place but very much a country town far away from the busy city.

Job Description

Your Role:
* Hours: Monday-Friday, 8am - 11am, 1pm - 6pm - hours may change an hour earlier or later on either side based on business needs but this is the rough schedule.
* Duties:
* Engaging Hugo in activities without TV (library, aquarium, playground, beach, park, sensory play, pool, etc.) and in general being a loving caregiver.
* Assisting with Mak (nappies, bottle feeding, food feeding, age-related stimulus, sanitising breast pump materials and prep for feeding). Sometimes I need to put Hugo to bed or he prefers to spend time with me and you can expect to switch with kids a significant amount of the time. You will take Hugo and Mak on outings and also keep them occupied at our home. We will spend time together tackling the kids and night time routine / cooking / feeding / cleaning up.
* Light housekeeping (preparing family meals, tidying, kid clothes washing, prepping sensory play / crafts etc.)
* Opportunities for extra babysitting (date nights and business engagements after hours on occasion).

Other things to note:

In terms of our parenting style we are patient, thoughtful, caring, responsive, and participatory. We attend to the needs of our children, engage with them and try to make things fun along the way. We are not a 'cry it out' household and our expectation of any carer for our children is to model the same style of caregiving we do for consistency.
