We welcome you to join our family as an au pair and become an integral part of our daily life! Below is an outline of your primary responsibilities to ensure clarity and a smooth experience for everyone:


### **Primary Focus: English Language Development**
One of our key priorities is to help our children build strong English communication skills, particularly through systematic phonics practice. We believe your role as an aupair will be invaluable in creating a fun and immersive English environment for them.

**Here’s how we envision this:**
1. **Daily Interactive English Practice**
- Engage the children in conversational Englishduring playtime, meals, and daily routines.
- Introduce phonics activities for 20–30 minutes daily (e.g., letter-sound games, rhyming words, or simple reading exercises).
- Use educational tools like flashcards, storybooks, or apps (we’ll provide resources!).

2. **Phonics-Focused Goals**
- Help them recognize letter sounds, blend simple words (e.g., c-a-t → "cat"), and gradually progress to more complex patterns.
- Encourage reading aloud together and praise their efforts to build confidence.

3. **Learning Through Play**
- Incorporate songs, nursery rhymes, or interactive games to make phonics natural and enjoyable.
- Feel free to share creative ideas—we value your input!

### **Our Support for You**
- We’ll provide phonics materialsand guide you to age-appropriate resources.
- Regular communication to discuss progress and adjust methods as needed.
- Respect for your teaching style while ensuring alignment with our goals.

Beyond language teaching, we warmly encourage you to share your hobbies or talents with our children. For example:
- **Sports**: Swimming, cycling, or outdoor games to promote physical health.
- **Arts & Music**: Drawing, painting, or playing an instrument (e.g., piano, guitar) to spark creativity.
- **Other Skills**: Cooking, dance, or crafts—any activity that aligns with your passions!



The following are some summary points：

### **1. Childcare Responsibilities**
- **Daily Care**: Supervise and engage with the children in age-appropriate activities (e.g., playing, reading, arts/crafts).
- **Meal Preparation**: Prepare simple, healthy meals/snacks for the children (specific dietary needs will be discussed).
- **School/Activity Transport**: Accompany children to school, extracurricular activities, or appointments as needed.
- **Bedtime Routine**: Assist with bathing, dressing, and bedtime routines (if required)，.

### **2. Light Household Tasks (Child-Related)**
- Tidy up children’s play areas, bedrooms, and meal spaces.
- Wash children’s dishes, laundry, and organize their belongings.
- Pack school bags or prepare items for outings.

### **3. Schedule & Hours**
- **Working Hours**: Approximately **30–35 hours per week**, with a flexible schedule (specific days/times to be agreed upon).
- **Days Off**: Guaranteed **1.5–2 full days off per week**, plus evenings free unless prearranged for occasional babysitting.
- **Vacation**: Paid time off during family holidays or as mutually agreed (details in contract).

### **4. Cultural Exchange & Language Support**
- Share your culture, traditions, and language with the children through casual interaction.

### **5. Communication & House Rules**
- Maintain open communication with the family about the children’s needs, routines, or concerns.
- Follow household rules (e.g., screen time limits, safety guidelines) and respect family privacy.
- Inform the family in advance if you are unable to work due to illness or emergencies.

### **6. Additional Notes**
