Work abroad in Katie's family for 10-24 Months starting from Feb 2026 as an Au Pair and Granny Au Pair to take care of 3 children of 1 - 5 years old & 6 - 10 years old in Helfant, Rhineland-Palatinate Germany

We don't have a typical daily routine since our work schedule differs day to day. There are days that we work in the morning and there are days we only start in the afternoon until late in the evening.

Alex and Hannah go every day to kindergarten until 15 o’clock, but this summer Hannah will start school. Oliver is at school every day and is home around 13 or 16 o'clock, depending on the day.

The school days in Germany are long, so after kindergarten and school its time for fun things. We always try to do activities outside if the weather is good and we have dinner between 18 and 19 o'clock before the kids go to bed around 19:30.

There are also days that we are both off and the kids are at home that day. Then we spend time together and go on nice trips and outings. Even if the weather is not so nice we always try to take the kids outside for playing.

Once a month our work schedule comes out and we will sit down together with you to discuss when you will look after the kids. For this reason we need someone with flexibility. You will know most of your schedule a month in advance and we fill in a family planner so everyone knows when and what to do.

We love an aupair who likes to take the kids for walks, adventures, to the zoo, to indoor and outdoor playgrounds and to actively do stuff with them. Not to just “babysit” them, but actively engage in playing. You have to be able and like hanging out with small children and find a creative way to create a great relationship with them. We need someone who has experience in this age group and can manage play or activities while keeping oversight of three kiddos.

On days when we work in the morning we need you to get the kids ready for kindergarten/school and take them there (it a 5 minute drive from our house) If we work evening shifts you will need to cook, feed them and bring them to bed. Normally if we work in the evenings we will be back around 11PM. The kids sleep around 1930 (and luckily are very good sleepers!) so you can hang out in our house or in your own apartment with the baby monitor after they have gone to bed.

We also work often in the weekends, so it could be that your off days will be during the week. There will be days that we are standby and on those days we will have to show up for work in one hour when they need us for a flight. That means on those days you will have to take the kids if we are called to work.

Babysitting at night once in a while, so we can go out for dinner as a couple or visiting friends.

Looking after the kids when they are sick and can not go to kindergarten.

Also tidying up after the kids have gone to bed, emptying dish washer and helping with the laundry. As you will be part of our family we expect that you help out as a family member in the normal daily routine. The cleaning of the house will be done by our cleaning lady.

Most important to us is that you will have fun spending time with the kids. That you create a bond and be a positive influence on our kids.

Trust is the most important thing that we are looking for. We are a super open family. A family who talks about everything, so we expect full honesty and open communication from our aupair.

We will give you the following:
* Good pocket money
* We will pay 70 euros towards a German language course if you are interested in one.
*Insurance will be covered by us
*You will have a car at your disposal when at work and for your own use when you are not working
*We will also provide you with a mobile phone contract with internet
*Your own private apartment to live with WIFI, big smart tv with Netflix

None of us has allergies and we are no vegetarians. We love to BBQ all year round! Since we are all eating together as one big family, keep in mind that we eat meat (and pork) on a daily basis.

We don’t smoke and don’t want people to smoke around our kids.

You need to have your driving license since you will have to bring the kids to the kindergarten. We live in the country side so you would need your car. Its for us very important to know that you have a good and sufficient experience with driving in cities and on highways, since we will trust you with our kids in the car :)

As we are an outgoing and fun family, we are looking for someone who has the same mentality. Who is not shy, likes to laugh and enjoy life with the kids.

Looking forward getting to know you!
