Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

We’re so excited you’re considering joining our family!

Let us tell you a little bit about us — we’re a happy and caring Anglo-Italian family with twin daughters who are full of energy, curiosity, and lots of giggles. Every day is a new adventure around here, and we’re looking for someone kind, fun, and proactive to be part of it with us!

We believe in creating a positive, supportive home where everyone feels like family — and that includes you. We’d love for you to bring your own ideas, creativity, and warmth into our daily lives. Whether it’s planning fun activities for the twins, helping out with simple meals, or just pitching in around the house, your contributions will be genuinely appreciated.

In return, we offer a welcoming and relaxed environment, competitive pocket money, and plenty of free time for you to explore the UK and make your own memories. We also love sharing our culture (and learning about yours!), and we hope to make your time with us as fun and meaningful as possible.

If you speak Italian, that’s a bonus — but what’s most important to us is finding someone who truly cares about children and enjoys being part of family life.

We know this experience is a big step, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way. We can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and hopefully welcome you into our home soon!

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to chat more. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — or just to say hi!

Accommodation

We live in a big country house with private garden in a charming town in West Berkshire that is known for its rich history and picturesque setting.
The town is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the UK, with roots dating back to the Neolithic period. Surrounded by lush countryside and featuring a mix of traditional architecture and modern amenities, it offers a peaceful yet vibrant community atmosphere. The town is conveniently located approximately 3 miles east of Newbury, 15 miles west of Reading, and about 55 miles from London (45 mins by train), making it well-connected for commuters and visitors alike.

You will have your newly redecorated private bedroom with your own bathroom.
