Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
Originally translated from Deutsch**We are only interested in au pairs who want to stay at least 6 months.**
we are the Maier family. We are German and live in beautiful Alsace, France. Our family consists of Niclas (31), Isabel (31) and Louis (3.5) and Victoria (2).
We emigrated to France in January and are still learning French ourselves, so it is important that you, as our au pair, would like to learn German and ideally already have some knowledge of French.
We are looking for a loving, patient and warm-hearted person who will ideally take care of our two children from now on or at the latest from March 13th, 2023.
We live in a small village (2,500 inhabitants) near Colmar. We have a big house with lots of space and a huge garden to run around in. For the brave we can even offer a climbing wall.
Bicycles and cars are available for use by arrangement.
Job Description
Originally translated from DeutschOur two children have to be picked up at 4 p.m. If you have a driver's license, you can drive by car, otherwise it's about 1km by e-bike and bicycle trailer through the village to our daughter Victoria's crèche, which she will visit until September 2023. From September 2023 both will be in the same school.
In France there are only 4 days of school (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). You will have Wednesdays and Sundays off. You will always have Saturday afternoon/evening free. There are holiday periods about every two to three months.
That's why we only work with au pairs who are willing to work with an hourly account. There will always be times, especially during the holiday season, when we need help for a little more than 5 hours a day. We then collect this "overtime" and give you complete time off for it on other days. We plan the coming week every Sunday, so you will always know in advance when you can schedule private appointments or plans.
If free time is not attractive to you, we would also be happy to discuss payment for the additional hours. We can then arrange that individually.
If you come to us for at least 6 months, you have 1 week of paid vacation. At 12 months, 2 weeks.
You will help us with light household chores (setting and clearing the table, filling and emptying the dishwasher...) Washing, drying and folding the children's laundry. Otherwise, we only expect you to help the children tidy up their toys after playing.
We have two cars and you are welcome to use a car by arrangement to explore the area and go on excursions. Bicycles can also be hired.

Family Description
Originally translated from Deutsch We are a young family with two young children. Niclas and Isabel have both traveled extensively and have lived abroad themselves for several years.Since we have been living in our new house since January, we have spent every free minute in our garden ever since. Either to play, jump on the trampoline, garden or to change or build something new.
We like to ride bikes or go for walks at the weekend. We like to plan projects that we can do together with the children, for example building and planting raised beds, building a second compost, ...
We're very strict with media, so we don't have a TV and we try very little to use our smartphones ourselves. Ideally, we would like someone who has similar values on this topic or who can get used to only using the smartphone in the evening or during private time.
We eat mainly vegetarian and buy our vegetables in organic quality. We are an active family so we are ideally looking for someone who enjoys exercise and can keep up with the kids.
