Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

UPDATE: WE HAVE FOUND OUR AU PAIR. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONE AT THE MOMENT. THANKS!

We are Kate and Coco, an Australian & Spanish couple living in Switzerland. We are looking for an Au Pair to look after our two daughters for a few days each week.

We are very easy going and hope that our Au Pair will feel like part of the family during their stay with us.

We mostly speak English in the home, but we are looking for someone who speaks Spanish fluently, so that we can encourage this with our girls. Neither of us speak German, but we can pay for German lessons if the is something you are interested in.

Job Description

Coco works full time and Kate works 4 days per week (with one of those days working from home). You would be caring for our two daughters, in our home, 4 days per week, and you will have the weekends and one weekday free every week.

When you look after our girls, we would like you to play with them, do activities, like painting, take them to the park, etc. and help the baby to nap. You would need to prepare a simple lunch for them each day (initially the baby will just have milk from a bottle).

We would really like a native Spanish speaker, to speak with our 3 year old in Spanish and help her with this language. She mostly speaks English, but understands a lot of Spanish and would like to encourage this more.
Light housework would be simple tasks, like loading/unloading the dishwasher or hanging up the laundry, and tidying up toys.

We may occasionally ask you to babysit during the evening or on a weekend, but will pay extra for this.

As our younger daughter will only be 4 months old, it would be helpful if you have experience in caring for very young babies.

We need someone who can start from the beginning of August. The position will be for 3 - 6 months. The duration will depend on some changes which we are expecting with our jobs and we can discuss this with you in person.

Accommodation

We live in Luzern, which is in the German speaking part of Switzerland. It is a beautiful town, famous for its lake and perfectly located for travel to other parts of Switzerland and Europe. There are several mountains close by (Pilatus, Engleberg, Zugerberg), so it is easy to make a day trip or a ski-weekend in the winter.

Our home is next to a small lake called the Rotsee. We have a large, modern, 3 bedroom apartment, with two bathrooms. One is the children’s bathroom, as it has a bath. The other is the adult’s bathroom, which would be shared, as it has a shower. You will have your own private room with a single bed.

It is very easy to get around in Luzern by public transport. The closest bus stop is called Maihof (it is right outside our front door). The buses come every 7 minutes, and it takes 10 minutes to get to the centre of Luzern, the main train station and the lake. It is also possible to walk, and this would take about 30 minutes.
