Work abroad in Chantelle's family for 6-12 Months starting from Apr 2023 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 0 - 1 year old & 1 - 5 years old in Mount Claremont, Western Australia Australia

Our au pair would primarily be responsible for caring for our toddler while mum (I) looks after our 4 month old baby. Our au pair would be assisting with nappy changes, changing clothes, playing with and taking our toddler on little outings, preparing her meals, packing her things for the day and doing little activities at home with her like drawing, painting, play dough etc. I will predominantly have the baby however there may be short moments during the day that our au pair may need to assist with the baby so that I can have a shower or deal with the toddler if needed - this is never been more than 30 or so minutes at a time and I am always in the house and nearby.

We would love our au pair to contribute about 35 hours per week spread from 9am-5:30pm Monday to Thursday (with a 1 hour break) and 5 hours on a Friday. The hours may vary depending on work schedules but we would discuss this and agree ahead of time always.

We would offer our au pair $320 AUD per week pocket money along with full board (all bills, internet, air conditioning/heating, access to all our streaming services and food).

Responsibilities include:
- Changing nappies
- Caring for the toddler (with and without parental support)
- Very occasional evening babysitting (this would be negotiated and agreed each time)
- Supervising the baby for short periods so mum can shower/do a task for the toddler
- Preparing meals for the children
- Assisting to prepare meals for the home (we have a Thermomix!)
- washing, sterilising and filling bottles
- Keeping the kitchen, living & dining areas clean and tidy
- Supporting with doing the dishes
- Keeping the children’s room tidy
- Assisting with laundry
- Light vacuuming
- Assisting emptying nappy bins
- Assisting putting groceries away
- Taking the toddler out for activities for the day (to the park, museum, toddler gyms or playgroup)
We do NOT expect our au pair to do heavy cleaning, we have a cleaner than comes weekly that does things like the toilets, showers, mopping of floors etc.
We all share the tasks in the house and with our current au pair we simply each pick up whatever tasks we can whilst juggling the children around us. We are happy to look after the children or do the household tasks, we work it out together through the day.
