Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hello to our future au pair! We are an American-Argentine family located in New England. We live in a quaint area with a rural feel, but we are strategically located between several bustling areas including but not limited to Chester/Essex CT, New Haven, Madison, and Mystic. Many small towns to choose from, all while living in a picturesque rural settings close to both water and farms. We have three children under four, we sail, and we practice hands-on, mindful parenting and are very engaged with our children—we expect that of you, also! If you love children, babies, nature, and holistic living, we are the place for you. We speak English and Spanish in the home, spend time on the water like I said, love to cook good food made from local ingredients, and live a minimalist lifestyle when it comes to consumerism and technology. We love to garden and hope to do beekeeping this coming year. There is much to do in the area, and I am looking for someone who can drive a car!!! My eldest is starting to enter the age for adventures, so I would want our au pair to be comfortable either taking her out into the world for an excursion or educational activity, or staying home with the babies while I have one-on-one time with my child. My husband speaks better French than me, but we lived in Paris for a fleeting 5 months and it was a special, romantic time for us, so we have it in our heads that perhaps having a French speaker in the home would be nice to try to keep that alive. We live with one black cat. DIY vibes. I am a writer so learning English from me would probably be nice on top of your language classes, and with Yale and Wesleyan right here I am sure you will find something. NYC but a train ride away.

Job Description

Job duties include:

hanging out with our kids! Much of the time we will be around and involved, so that can vary from watching all three kids at once to watching only one child. May be at home but like I said I would love someone willing to go out a little, especially with our oldest child. We practice Infant Potty Training/EC, which means you will need to be hands on with the diapering/helping to take my kids to the bathroom, but lucky you this means very few diapers!! Only our young baby is in diapers (cloth diapers you must be willing to learn how to use my diaper system and help keep the diaper of the baby DRY), our two year old is fully potty trained but does need help getting onto and off of the toilet. Three year old fully potty trained, too. We feed them real homemade food, so if you are watching our kids, that means you are going to have to cook! Please know how to cook with real ingredients. We do not own a microwave and cook everything from scratch including broth and pasta. We are NOT a vegetarian-friendly home. If you can play piano, that is a plus but not necessary! Perhaps you will learn while you're here.

Accommodation

We have a bedroom downstairs for you. It is located off the dining room. There are two downstairs bathrooms with a shower, we only use one of the showers so you could have your own private shower stall space just for you if you wish to use the guest bathroom. We do have wifi but.... if you are addicted to your cell phone, do not apply! I do not want you on the phone all day when you are on the job with my kids.
