Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
Originally translated from Français
We are delighted to welcome you to our family and to start this new adventure together. We are looking for an au pair who can help us create a serene and well-organized environment for our children. It is important for us to find someone reliable, caring, patient, and who really enjoys spending time with children.
Your main responsibilities will include helping us in the morning to get Léontine and Joseph ready, and picking them up in the evening. You will also help us with bath time and dinner, helping to maintain a smooth and pleasant routine for the children. We will also appreciate being able to count on your help to look after them in the evening, so that we can, from time to time, enjoy outings to the theatre or the cinema.
In addition, your support will be invaluable in taking over in the event of unforeseen professional events, whether for Dorian, as a surgeon, or for Jennifer, who is travelling for her job as an actress. Although this remains occasional, we will be sincerely grateful to you.
Every morning, we walk Léontine to school, after giving her breakfast and giving her a quick wash. We then pick her up in the late afternoon, around 4:30/5pm. After school, we often take her to the park or for a little activity, like going for a ride on the merry-go-round. From November, Joseph will be at daycare. Once back home, we prepare the bath, then the meal, and we eat dinner together. The children go to bed early after a story. In general, one of the parents is always available to do these tasks. The au pair will therefore never be alone, but will be able to assist the parent who is looking after the children at that time.
If Jennifer is away and Dorian finishes exceptionally late, it may happen that the au pair is alone to manage this, but this will remain exceptional. We will also ask for occasional evening babysitting so that we can go to the theatre or the cinema.
A particularity of our routine concerns Dorian’s on-call periods. Indeed, one week per month, as a surgeon, he can be called to the hospital, including at night. This remains rare, but if Jennifer is absent, it will be necessary for the au pair to be at home to take over in the event of an urgent trip.
In our free time, we like to take full advantage of what life in Nice has to offer. We particularly enjoy going to the theatre to see various plays and shows. We also like to go for walks, whether in the city, in the parks or along the sea, and of course, spend time at the beach to relax and swim. We like to spend time with our friends, whether for a friendly meal or simply to chat and laugh together. Cooking is another of our passions, and we love preparing tasty dishes as a family. We also spend a lot of time playing with our children and doing activities together, whether it's games at home or going out. We also enjoy board games and card games, which are always fun times to share. Finally, we love to enjoy the sea by sailing, an activity that we find both relaxing and exciting.
Nice, located on the French Riviera, is a beautiful city with an exceptional quality of life. As a sunny city all year round, it attracts both locals and visitors for its beaches, picturesque old quarter, lively markets, and many cultural activities. Our au pair will be able to enjoy walks on the famous Promenade des Anglais, visit renowned museums, and discover the local cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors. The city also offers many possibilities for sports and nature lovers, with hiking trails in the nearby mountains and water activities on the Mediterranean.
If Jennifer's needs require it and she is interested, our au pair will also have the opportunity to stay in our apartment in Paris. This will allow her to discover the French capital and explore its many cultural and historical treasures.
This experience as an au pair is a first for our family. It will therefore be a co-creation to set up.
This role offers an enriching experience within a warm family, with moments of sharing and discovery, while contributing to our daily lives. We hope that this experience will be as positive for you as it will be for us, and that you will find a real home among us during your stay.
We look forward to meeting you and starting this beautiful adventure togethere !
Yours sincerely,
Jennifer and Dorian
