Work abroad in Michael's family for 3-6 Months starting from Mar 2023 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 1 - 5 years old in Sarstedt, Lower Saxony Germany

We both have jobs that are easily possible with mobile work from home. My wife will be able to do some of that and drive to the office (about 50 km away) to some extent, I can work almost entirely from home and only travel away on a few days. My office at home is housed separately in the basement, so I'm practically invisible ;)

When we both go back to work after parental leave, it will be exciting to arrange our working hours with childcare. Our son has a rather short childcare time in the forest kindergarten until 1 p.m., our daughter has not yet found a childcare place, but we hope that we will still get something (but the chances are rather bad). Therefore, the first priority will be to prepare the children for the day in the morning, to bring them to the care and/or to pick them up again (although we will also do some of this ourselves). When our son comes home from 1 p.m., care is also important here (playing, trips, ...) until we can also call it a day. In the afternoon and evening it is very important to us to spend enough time with the children ourselves, so the care is by no means intended for the entire day.
As already described above, a very important task is to support us with childcare. Ideally in the afternoon, between the time when the two of them come home and when we also call it a day. If we don't get childcare for our daughter, the issue will become even more important!
We are also happy about help in the household (especially with meals). Our son can eat things he has brought with him to the kindergarten, i.e. something always has to be prepared here. Since he's not yet in kindergarten, we don't have a routine there yet.
