Job Description
We are excited to invite a friendly and caring au pair to join our family in Bermondsey, London. If you have pre-settled status or the legal right to stay in the UK, this might be the perfect opportunity for you. This position is ideal for someone who wants a lot of free time during the day to study, explore London, or pursue a new hobby.
Let me take you through what the role involves before going over some key points.
Household duties
During the weekdays (Monday to Friday), I would appreciate your help with a few daily household chores. This includes tidying up the flat, putting laundry away, ironing. We have a fantastic cleaner, Eduarda, who visits us weekly.
Light cooking
Cooking is another area where your help would be fantastic. I have a Gousto membership, which provides easy and healthy meal recipes. You can choose from 83 different recipes and cook two to three times a week. Feel free to freeze the meals for us to enjoy later, and you are always welcome to join us for dinner.
Shared nursery drop-offs and collections
Due to my job, I have a few late afternoon operating sessions (maximum seven times in six weeks). On these days, I might ask you to pick up Alexandra from nursery. Don’t worry, you will have my full schedule in advance to plan your life accordingly.
Every 7 weeks, I have ‘on call’ duties from Monday morning to Friday morning. During this time, I may need you to drop off and collect Alexandra from nursery and keep an eye on her overnight.
Weekend childcare
On weekends, I work from home and value a little ‘me time’. I’d appreciate it if we could share the care of Alexandra – whether that’s playing with her at home or taking her for a walk in the park. Alexandra often visits her godparents, so you may also have Saturdays mostly free.
We usually go out for lunch or dinner on Sundays, which gives you some extra time to yourself.
Additionally, I work ‘on call’ one weekend every seven weeks, during which I might need you to take care of Alexandra.
Job details
Please apply only if you have pre-settled status or legal right to stay in the UK.
Salary
£200 per week, depending on your experience. This also reflects your age (ideally between 18 and 24) and the light childcare involved for just one child.
