Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
We (Vanessa, Chris and little Jim) are a young family in our early 30s from the state of Hesse in Germany. Our son is one year old and already goes to kindergarten.
We have a special relationship with Thailand - that is why we would like to have an aupair from Thailand. Chris grew up in Thailand and still has family there. We regularly travel through Thailand and Asia. As Chris only speaks a little Thai, we would like an aupair to teach our son Jim about Thai culture and language. Jim is just starting to speak his first words in German, so now is a good time to introduce him to a new language.
We also believe that the opportunity to get to know a new culture and make new friends in a foreign country is extremely important for a young person. Of course we are looking for an au pair to support us, but it is just as important to us that you take part in our lives as part of our family.
You are the right person for us if you ...
... laugh a lot and can be childish.
... are creative
... are inquisitive and curious.
... like to go out, are active and prefer country life to city life.
... like to travel and want to explore German culture
... have a good heart and can build a great connection with Jim!
We look forward to hearing from you =)
Job Description
In the morning, while Jim is at kindergarten, it would be great if you could spend about an hour doing light housework (tidying up toys, clearing the breakfast table, vacuuming, watering plants, vacuuming ...).
At lunchtime you would pick Jim up from kindergarten, maybe have lunch with him (we usually cook enough the evening before so that there is enough left over for lunch the next day).
Then you would play with Jim until about 3-4 o'clock (sometimes he takes a nap) until Vanessa or Chris has finished work.
We love to cook and always cook fresh - mostly Mediterranean or Asian food. We would be happy if you are open to new dishes and if we can take turns cooking - we all love Thai food :)
You could also look after Jim one evening a week.
It is very important to us that you speak to Jim Thai. Vanessa and Chris speak very good English. Since a good communication is very important to us and we talk about many things, you should speak English at least at B1, more likely B2 level. German language skills at A1 level are a prerequisite for the visa in Germany!
In addition to room and board, we will pay you a monthly allowance of 280 euros, and if you would like to take part in a German course, we will subsidize this with 70 euros. We will also cover your health insurance in Germany and pay for a Germany ticket, which you can use to travel anywhere in Germany by bus and train. We will also provide you with your own bicycle. Your weekly working hours are expected to be 25-30 hours. In addition, you would have 4-6 weeks of vacation per year (depending on when and how long we travel ourselves).

Family Description
Accommodation
We are living in the north of the province Hesse - pretty in the middle of Germany (which is perfect for travelling). Our region is famous for the Brothers Grimm - fairy tale authors from the 19th century who lived here. You certainly know the fairy tale Snow White or Cinderella. The region of North Hesse inspired them to write their fairy tales. We live close to nature, yet there are many historic villages here and the metropolis of Frankfurt with its skyline and international airport is only 90 minutes away.
There is a bus stop right in front of the house. In less than 5 minutes you are at the train station and from there you can reach the cities of Kassel (45 minutes), the beautiful historic old town of Marburg (30 minutes) and the metropolis of Frankfurt (90 minutes). There are also shops, restaurants and cafés in our village. If you love nature and fresh air, culture and historic places, you will come to the right place. But most of our friends live in the metropolitan area of Frankfurt, so, if you need some big city feeling, you are always free to join us for a weekend trip.
