Work abroad in Charlye Rach's family for 6-24 Months starting from Nov 2024 as an Au Pair and Nanny to take care of 1 children of 1 - 5 years old in Hyde Park, Massachusetts USA

Zebi is a delight:) At his age childcare is centered around play mostly, and that is what we ask of his caretakers. Play, dance, create, eat, listen to music, read, etc and just enjoy being a family.

We are looking for someone creative, talkative, flexible and loving to spend time speaking only in their native language with Zebi. Their job is to expose him to the language via playing, reading, and doing activities and general daily life tasks together as well as to enable us to work productively from home, attend our own activities, and to enjoy a date night here and there:)

Besides just being a companion to Zebi, we will want help finding toys, books and learning tools to use to keep things relevant and fun in your native language. We also do outings (parks, museums, etc) and excursions in the city with Zebi and would want our au pair to join us. They could even suggest things they are interested in to add to the roster!

Our main objective in any situation is to have our Au pairs communicate excessively with Zebi and to only communicate with him in their native language even around people who don't understand it. He has been exposed to each language since birth so he is learning them like any other child learns their first language, with consistent, abundant, loving exposure in the form of play, care and daily life. We do ask the au pairs to learn a bit about and to practice Montessori and gentle parenting methods as this is our approach and we want consistency in these areas. We will provide this information along with any resources that would be helpful to achieve all of the above.

Au pairs can expect to have 25-35 hours a week and to act as a contributing, respectful and involved member of the household outside of 'working' hours. Some of those hours you will be on your own with Zebi but many will be with other adults around, like his father and I, or his grandparents. Helping with feeding, cleaning up, normal hygiene and day to day things are of course also part of the role.

Lastly, we want our au-pairs to have their own interests and enjoy their time when they aren't helping with Zebi, and we want them to feel fulfilled and happy in our home. We are understanding, kind and flexible and expect the same in return. This is a relationship that should be equally rewarding and beneficial for everyone.
