Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Originally translated from Français
Hello,
I'm Elise, the mother of the "ROCHE" family. Our father's name is Florian, and we have three children: Louise, who is 14 years old (March 19, 2011), Maxandre, 10 years old (November 20, 2014), and Jeanne, 5 and a half years old (January 2, 2020). The au pair will primarily care for Maxandre and Jeanne. We are 41 and 40 years old, respectively. We are originally from Beaujolais (north of Lyon), but for professional reasons, we moved to the South of France in 2007.
We live in the countryside. My husband has an IT company in Nîmes. We live 15 km from Nîmes and 50 km from Montpellier. We are in the commune of Saint-Gilles in the Gard department, but our children attend school and are cared for in the village of Garons (5 km from our home) for reasons of proximity. Louise will be starting 8th grade in September. She does athletics twice a week and horse riding. Maxandre is in 5th grade and will be starting 6th grade. He's a curious, very graceful, and pleasant little boy who also knows how to get into mischief. His sister takes her role as the 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 close and love being together. They are quiet children who love it when you play with them.
We live not far from the Mediterranean Sea (40 km from Saintes Maries de la Mer or Grau du Roi) and we sometimes go for an afternoon to relax by the water. We love walking, gardening, horseback riding, and traveling. We are very close to the city of Nimes (15 km). We've been living in a new property since February with a large 4000m² plot of land and a very large garden. We have a very friendly Australian Shepherd dog, Sky, who guards the property, a cat who stays outside, and chickens. It's a dream location for nature lovers because we're in the heart of the Camargue, a land of horses and bulls... There are plenty of places to visit on weekends.

The end of August and September, for a month and a half, is the grape harvest season for me, which explains our desire to host an au pair to help us get through this busy professional period and take care of our children, especially by avoiding the excessive demands of outside childcare. I work on-site but I'm very busy. My husband also works a lot and takes care of the children on weekends.
We are looking for a trustworthy, mature person who loves children and who has a driver's license because without it, it is not possible to travel to school, on weekends, or to go into town (although there are buses 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 join us on weekends if she wishes, we will show her the region, and she will have most of her days to learn French if she wishes. She will take care of getting the children up; getting them ready and taking them to school and to the childminder; picking them up at the end of the day (except Wednesday afternoons when she will babysit them), playing with them, bathing them and preparing them for dinner, or preparing their dinner if we are not home from work, and putting them to bed if necessary.
She will have her own very bright 15 m² bedroom. A large bed, two bedside tables, a dresser, and a small desk are available in her room. The house has three bathrooms. She will be able to use the computer and the family television if she wishes.

We will speak French, but I understand a little English if necessary. We have some knowledge of Spanish. In any case, we will be able to understand each other. See you soon.

We have had an au pair during this period for 10 years. We can provide you with the contact information of previous au pairs.
