Work abroad in Elise's family for 1-3 Months starting from Aug 2022 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 6 - 10 years old & 11 - 14 years old in Nîmes, Occitanie France

Hello,
I am Elise, the mother of the “ROCHE” family. The father's name is Florian and we have three children: Louise who is 11 years old (19/03/2011) and Maxandre 7 years old (20/11/2014), Jeanne 2 and a half years old (02/01/2020), Le au pair will only have to take care of Louise and Maxandre. We are respectively 39 and 38 years old. We are originally from Beaujolais (north of Lyon) but, for professional reasons, moved to the South of France in 2007.
We live in the countryside on a winery that I take care of. My husband has an IT company in Nîmes. We live 15 km from Nîmes and 50 km from Montpellier. We are in the town of Saint-Gilles in the Gard but our children are educated and cared for in the village of Garons (2 km from us) for reasons of proximity.
Louise is in CM2 and will be back in 6th in September. She plays tennis once a week and athletics and she is a talkative little girl who is quite obedient (when she decides to) and who likes the outdoors (like her mother). Maxandre is in CE1 and will return to CE2. He is a curious, very graceful and pleasant little boy who also knows how to do silly things… His sister takes her role as eldest very seriously and likes to take care of her little brother when he asks her to. Sometimes she likes to tease him…but they are accomplices and love being together. They are children who are not turbulent and who love when we play with them...
We live not far from the Mediterranean Sea (40 km from Stes Maries de la Mer or Grau du Roi) and we sometimes go for an afternoon to relax by the water. We love to walk, garden, ride horses and travel. We are very close to the city of Nimes (15 km).
We live in a wine-growing property with a large park and a very large garden, where we have an Australian Shepherd Sky dog ​​(very nice) who guards the property, two cats who stay outside, chickens and wild peacocks ( about twenty)… It's the perfect place for nature lovers because we are in the heart of the Camargue, land of horses and bulls… There are plenty of places to visit on weekends.

The period of September, and this for a month, is the harvest period for me, which explains our desire to welcome an au pair to help us through this professionally busy period and take care of our children, especially in their avoiding too high a rate of outdoor childcare. I'm working on site but I'm very busy. My father works with me during this time and lives with us. My husband works and takes care of the children on weekends.
We are looking for a reliable, mature person who loves children, who has a driving license because without it it is not possible to travel to school, on weekends or to go to town (even if there are bus to the city center (we are 2 km from the bus station). Our au pair will be integrated into our family, we will eat together when possible, she can follow us on weekends if she wishes, we will introduce her to the region and she will have most of her days to learn French if she wants it. She will take care of raising the children; prepare them and take them to school or to the nanny; to pick them up at the end of the day (except Wednesday afternoon when she will keep them), play with them, wash them and prepare them for the evening meal see them prepare the meal if we have not returned from work and put them to bed if need.
She will have her own very bright 15 m² bedroom. A large bed, two bedside tables, a chest of drawers and a small desk are at his disposal in his room. The bathroom is shared. She will be able to enjoy the computer and the family television if she wishes.

We will speak in French but I understand a little English if necessary… For Spanish we have notions… Anyway we will manage to understand each other… See you soon.

We have an au pair during this period for 7 years. We can provide you with the contact details of previous au pairs.


The Roche family…
