Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
Originally translated from EspañolI am María José, I am the current Au Pair of the Kaufmann family. My contract ends in July and I am helping them to get a new Au Pair, since they have been very good to me and I would like them to have a good help when I leave.
We live in a small town 20 minutes by train from the main station in Frankfurt. The city where we live is very nice, there are restaurants, a shopping center, supermarkets and everything nearby. By the time you arrive, there will be a train ticket for the whole month that will cost 49 euros, with which you can travel throughout Germany, so going to and from Frankfurt will not be a problem.
The train station is a 10-minute walk from the house. The house is on a hill, so the climb up to the house is a bit steep, but nothing too difficult, you get used to it in less than you think.
Job Description
Originally translated from EspañolSometimes in the mornings it is time to go to the market or do small chores such as washing, folding and putting away the girl's clothes, as well as organizing the girls' room and the playroom.
From time to time, after they talk about it with you, it's time to put the girls to sleep, and stay with the babyphone all night or until the parents arrive again. Also from time to time on weekends, but all this will be discussed in advance.
They have a lady who helps with the general cleaning of the house, so you would not have to do any of that, other than cleaning your own room and helping to keep the house clean, since it is the space where you also live.
This routine may vary a bit, due to the arrival of the new baby, and to the fact that the girl enters kindergarten in September, however the work will be very similar to how I describe it to you.
What we expect from you:
That you have experience taking care of children and babies, so the new baby arrives and you will surely have to take care of her a lot. It is necessary that you have experience driving a manual car, since in your hands is the responsibility of carrying and, and that your license is valid for at least the 12 months that you will be here. We also hope that you are an open-minded, active person, that you have initiative, that you like to be with people (because you will surely spend a lot of time with them and with their family) and that you are kind. If you have an A2 level of German (or more) it's perfect. That you speak English very well is also necessary so that you can communicate with them at the beginning.
We also hope that you have already lived outside your country or, if not, that you are prepared to live away from your family and do not let homesickness stop your work with us. It would be ideal if you are over 23 years old.

Family Description
Originally translated from Español The family is made up of dad (Sebastian), mom (Julie), a 2 and a half year old daughter (Zoe) and a baby on the way (she will be born in May). They are a very nice and very close family with grandparents and uncles and cousins, so it is very important for them that you like being with your family and that you are willing to share time with them.Both parents have full-time jobs and travel frequently for work. Sebastian normally works Monday to Wednesday in London and is home Thursday and Friday. Julie also travels frequently. So it is certain that during the week only one of them is at home and the other is travelling.
The family loves to play board games, go on vacation, go swimming, go out for the day at the park, or do many activities.
The family speaks German and with you they will only communicate in German because the idea is that you learn the language. However, both parents speak very good English, so if you know English, the interview could be in that language so that everything is clear, once you get home everything will be in German. Julie, the mother, speaks Spanish, so she wants her daughters to learn Spanish from an early age, so they are looking for an Au Pair whose mother tongue is Spanish, so she can speak to the girls. Zoe understands very bin Spanish, I only speak Spanish to her and she understands me perfectly, so you can communicate with her perfectly and without problems.
