We are a family of five, and Xime has been working with us for four years, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. She is part of the family. On a daily basis, the children go to school from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., we go to work, and Xime stays with us to help us with the house. We live in a very convenient neighborhood, on a plot of land, but close to downtown Puerto Varas (a 15-minute walk, a 5-minute drive) and next door (literally) to the children's school. I work in Puerto Varas; sometimes I go to the office or work from home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to pick up the children from school, take them to extracurricular sports activities (hockey, soccer, gymnastics), and do things in between. However, sometimes I don't have enough time, so we think an au pair could help us a lot.

On the other hand, we live abroad a lot (in Belgium, Mexico, and Spain) and we love cultural exchange, so we want the children to have that as well, in addition to learning English and practicing it ourselves. The idea is that the Au Pair can help us every afternoon from the moment the children get home from school and be a kind of big sister to them: speaking to them in English, helping with all the child-related activities, and being a role model for them.

Puerto Varas is a very beautiful city, with plenty of tourism, and plenty to explore in the surrounding area, such as Frutillar, many hiking trails, Chiloé, the Petrohue Falls, etc.
The idea is for you to have complete flexibility in getting to know the area. We believe it's a super nice destination for foreigners. We can also help you meet people your age and network. We are super flexible; if you want to have some days off and make up others so you can go a little further, we can also arrange that. We also expect flexibility from you.

Finally, the start and end dates I provided are completely negotiable!
