Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Dear future Au Pair,

introduction:
I am a early 40s single father of two; a 6yr old girl and a 9yr old boy. We live in a remote location on a large ranch in the mountains of British Columbia. We are 100% off-grid, with electricity (microhydro), propane appliances and Starlink for communication (internet and VoIP home phone). We have a garden, goats, chickens, cats and dogs. I run my own business as an electrician and value honesty, nature and a healthy lifestyle.

location details:
we are situated 2hrs drive north of Nelson, BC, 1hr north of Kaslo, BC and the closest (small, rural) gas station/corner store is 30 min drive away. Our driveway is almost 2km long. I use a tractor to plow the snow in the winter and mow the 80+ acres of meadows in the summer. We do not get many visitors. There is no public transport within 30minutes drive from our home. Although there are bears, cougars and wolves in the area, our large guardian dogs prevent any sightings near our residence. They bark at night, doing their job.

ideal candidates:
You are somebody who is independent, open-minded, adaptable and enjoys solitude/quiet as well as social events. you are comfortable learning new skills and content to adapt to our way of life (connected to nature - in the realistic, more than romantic sense!) and content to "go with the flow"... if you require a steadfast schedule and strictly defined roles and responsibilities, we may not be a great fit. You are physically fit and health conscious. You have never taken a covid vaccine.

relationships:
you understand that this situation requires trust, personal strength and integrity in communication. we need to rely on a shared motivation that we are in this together, we respect one another's values and operate as a family unit. this means I do not treat you as an employee, but as a family member. i suppose the closest relationship dynamic to compare it to would be that you are like a sister to me and an auntie to the kids (we need an adult/mentor/guardian, not a sibling/peer to the children).

Job Description

You must be able to drive and you must not have taken any "Covid" mRNA genetic therapy injections.

Assets include (not required): wilderness survival; first-aid; a personality that is not needing constant stimuli from the internet or communications with people not in your presence (if the idea of not having your phone on you during the daylight hours is something you would object to, perhaps you should look for another family. I prefer the wifi off and it uses a timer to come on for designated times, for communications and entertainment on occasion (i prefer to download movies rather than stream).

the role expected of you is similar to that of a mother and householder. i do not favour hours, wages and contracts. i do favour agreements, bonds and integrity.

the "work" is time where you are the sole care provider for the child(ren), including the facilitation of their health, hygiene and responsibilities.

being a "roommate" means that you are equally responsible for a clean house and cooking meals. the way i think about it is that you care for the child(ren) as your duty ("work"). you eat without expense, so you do the lion's share of the cooking. you live without paying any rent or expenses, so you are equally responsible to maintain order and cleanliness in the home. i am adaptable and very much willing to be flexible with hours and "scheduling", to provide you a vehicle for your purposes (though you may be asked to pay for your own fuel, if you wish to leave our area). I hope for a solid, trusting dynamic where everybody feels they are included, respected and in control of their own affairs.
