Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Originally translated from Deutsch
***We are looking for our next au pair starting in early 2026. ***

We are a small family. Our family consists of Sammy, Esmiralda, and our son David, who will turn 4 in November. Esmiralda works in management at a bank and mostly works from home, while Sammy works in a management position at IKEA. Since we both work full-time, we are looking for a loving au pair who will enjoy helping our son discover the world. David goes to kindergarten during the day until 4:55 p.m., so we especially need help in the mornings and afternoons. David is a very active boy who loves puzzles, books, Lego, cars, and singing, and learns very quickly.

We love cooking and eating, laughing a lot, and spending our evenings on the sofa, but we also enjoy traveling and often meeting up with family and friends or inviting them to our house. Sammy also loves Lego, and his creations are scattered throughout the apartment. We are Jewish and live a traditional lifestyle; for example, we don't eat pork. The candidate will therefore have the opportunity to learn about a new religion. We speak German at home, but Esmiralda speaks only Russian with our son.

We live in the west of Cologne in a very green and upscale area. Our apartment is well connected to the public transport network, with several stations nearby. The city center is a 20-minute walk away. We also have several forests nearby, as well as Cologne's largest shopping center. Cologne is one of Germany's largest cities, so you'll find everything you need here. Our large four-room apartment will include a private 11m² room (see photo of the room).

We pay the €280 allowance set by the employment agency, cover the costs of a language course at the adult education center in the center of Cologne (twice a week in the mornings), the Germany Ticket for public transport, health insurance, and a SIM card with unlimited internet access. Since our au pairs are always part of our family, they naturally come with us on vacations and excursions. Our last au pair, for example, traveled with us to Berlin, Zurich, Amsterdam, Paris, and Spain, and went on many day trips. We also help with all administrative matters, such as opening a bank account, applying for a residence permit, and preparing documents for training/study/voluntary social year.

Job Description

Originally translated from Deutsch
Since we both work, we need help with childcare for our son. The candidate would need to get our son ready in the morning and take him to kindergarten some days, picking him up in the afternoon, and look after him, including meals, playing games, going for walks, and other creative activities. The candidate should have experience with small children and enjoy helping them discover the world. Ideally, the candidate comes from a family with siblings and is familiar with children. Our son has had a lot of contact with other people right from the start and adapts quickly to new people. The candidate should also be Russian-speaking, so she only speaks Russian with our son.

The candidate should help with light household chores (loading and unloading the dishwasher, washing, hanging up, and putting away laundry, keeping the kids' room and kitchen tidy, taking out the trash, and unpacking groceries) and enjoy cooking occasionally. She should be tidy and able to keep her own room clean without us having to remind her. The candidate should be between 18 and 27 years old, have at least an A1 German language level, and a corresponding certificate, as this is required for the visa. A driver's license with driving experience would definitely be a plus, but not a requirement.

Our last four au pairs will confirm that we are a very approachable family and would love to welcome anyone into our circle.
