Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Nice to meet you! We're Catarina and Kristof, the proud parents of our 20-month-old daughter, Luísa. Between me being in the middle of a PhD program and Kristof tackling a home renovation, we could really use all the help we can get. With your support, I can keep working on finding a cure for a nasty animal virus, Kristof can focus on building our dream home, and we can make sure Luísa gets all the care and attention she deserves. So, if you love babies and animals (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), take a look at our profile and send me a message!

Job Description

You'll mostly care for Luísa at home, between 9 and 18. Luísa likes to play in the playground near the church and go for walks around the village. All the neighbors know and love her so there are always plenty of opportunities for a chat to practice your Portuguese. During intense lab work periods, you'll accompany me to Lisbon and we overnight in our spacious mobile home parked in a forest which surrounds the university campus. I'm in the lab for 6-7 hours. During this period you'd care for Luísa in the mobile home, you can take her for walks in the surrounding green areas, or chill with a café and pastel de nata in one of the bars. I'll check in regularly for feedings and cuddles. You'll have three full days free, including weekends (or two full days and two half days). We offer a 300€ allowance, meals included. Our hobbies include surfing, swimming, hiking, and yoga.

Accommodation

We live in a garage which Kristof converted into a small open plan studio ("the garage") and are renovating a house close by ("the house"). You mostly have the house to yourself, sometimes we host friends and family and volunteers that help with the renovation (through Workaway) and they also stay in the house. It has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a temporary kitchen/living area. Off of the roof there's a small terrace that has sun all afternoon and an ocean view. In the garden we have fruit trees and grow some vegetables. The beach is a 2 km walk from the house. The village, Geraldes, has a cafe, bakery, pharmacy, and supermarket, all within a short walk's distance.

Our region:
Peniche is Europe's westernmost city and Portugal's surf capital. It's also a fishing harbor so fish and seafood are always available and deliciously fresh. Around this area you'll find plenty to do, from walking the walls of a medieval city, to stand up paddling in a lagoon, or just plain enjoying a chai latte and vegan cake on a sunny terrace with a good book. The community we're part of is pretty international so you'd also have plenty of opportunities to socialize with people from all different nationalities and backgrounds.
