Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
evenings and weekends.
In exchange, we offer an independent bedroom+bathroom inside our flat and pocket money. Our flat is located in a very centric, safe and live neighborhood in San Jose: La Sabana.
We expect the au pair to help with small household chores and to join us on local trips on the weekends to assist with our toddler.
For us, as a family, it is very important to welcome in our house someone able to follow rules, specially related to keeping the house clean and the personal hygiene.
Mom is pescatarian and Dad is flexitarian, so we are very compatible with vegetarian/vegan people.
Job Description
This is going to be our first au pair, but we have had some previous experiences having girls living with us: for example we have had a couple of volunteers living with us, that were part of a foundation where we are volunteers ourselves. One stayed 4 months and the another 1 month with us.
The au pair typical tasks will include baby sitting some 2-3 hours/day in the afternoon/evenings: feeding Bruno and preparing him to go to bed (bath, putting pajamas on, changing nappy, etc). During weekends, the work could be flexible (~ 6 hours/day), from helping during meal times to going to the park/playground.
The au pair will have 1 or 2 days off per week, usually during weekdays. That is something negotiable, but we expect flexibility.

Family Description
Dad: David, Mom: Sofia, Toddler: Bruno.We also have two cats that are very playful and sociable.
Our extended family is big and our au pair will be in touch with them with some frequency (going to family lunches, etc).
David and Sofia are engineers and work for a semiconductors company. We usually work from home.
We love reading, going outdoors, to arts exhibitions and to the cinema. David used to be a chess player and Sofia used to play clarinet.
Bruno is a very playful child, but usually needs some time to get comfortable with new people. For us, it is very important to keep him physically active, happy and creative while helping him to learn boundaries.
