Work abroad as an Au Pair in Town and Country, Missouri USA for 10-12 months in Bilal's family

As your primary responsibility, we will require you to drive the kids back and forth to their schools, drive them to their after school/sporting activities, and take care of our youngest daughter during the week days, and some hours over the weekend; however, the work days and hours may vary. You will work for about 45 hours in a week.

Our day starts early, so we are looking for someone who likes to get up early.

Your job schedule will be in a split day – which means, you will get up early at about 7:00 AM and get ready to drive the kids to school. And after that you will be off at about 9:00 AM for a few hours. You can use this free time to relax and/or meet friends, explore, to go outdoors, attend school etc. Later during the day at about 12:00 noon time, you will start the work again to pick the kids from school and stay with them until at about 5:00 PM

Our Au Pair's other responsibilities will include playing with the kids, keeping them engaged, talking to them, preparing and serving meals to them. You will clean up after them, (putting dishes away and keeping kitchen clean), and keep the play areas and their rooms clean (vacuuming), and take care of their laundry, and do some ironing for kids only. Our Au Pair's work hours would typically take place Monday-Saturday, for a total of about 45 hours. We will provide a weekly schedule and make sure your work hours are not more than 45 hours per week.

We are looking for someone who is involved with our kids in friendly terms, and we are NOT looking for someone who makes the kids sit in front of TV while she goes on her mobile phone, texting and on a surfing spree.
Mobile phone use is strictly NOT allowed during the work hours unless there is an emergency or a genuine reason.

You will get $800.00 a month in stipend, and we will provide you with a pvt bedroom and a shared restroom with our daughter.
If you decided to attend college credits here in your free time, we will pay $500.00 towards the cost of your tuition fee.
Every week, you will get one and half day off, and also one full weekend off, every month.
There will also be a two weeks paid vacation in a year. And you are also invited to accompany us when we take vacation trips within USA.
You are more than welcome to eat whatever we cook at home, or use our pantry to cook for yourself. However, if you decide to buy food from outside for yourself, then it's your own cost.
You will take care of your own mobile phone bill, and personal shopping/travel etc.

Please know that this job comes with a very strong sense of responsibility and requires focus, dedication and strong determination. You should be someone who is matured, patient and experienced with childcare, and naturally love to be around kids, and you are gentle and affectionate in nature. You must be someone who displays great work ethics, has a helpful attitude, and you are punctual. It is important to note that this job is not for one or two weeks or a month. This is one year commitment. There will be good days, and there will be tiring days – so you should be someone who does not give up easily. And we will help you go along the way.

***********************************************************************************************************************************

The focus of our family is the pursuit of good education and develop great work ethics, and treating everyone with respect in a fun, loving and cozy home environment.
 
All three kids are very well behaved and attend good schools - so we would like our Au Pair to encourage them with the academic assignments.
The children also go to karate/gymnastic clubs couple of times a week, and we would like you to take them to their sports clubs.
The most important thing for us in an Au Pair is honesty and following our methods in working with the kids. If you choose to be our Au Pair, we'll try to incorporate you in all of our family activities if that's what you want.


~Last Note~
The reason why we tried to describe the job responsibilities in detail, is to make sure that our Au Pair knows what are our expectations, and also what is she signing up for? We have seen that there are some cases where, some Au Pair agencies just try to sell a dream to the Au Pairs. This dream is about going to USA and having party all the time for a full year as a free vacation trip. This leaves many Au Pairs in shock within a few weeks after their arrival as they find a few things different as to what they have been thinking. And we do NOT want this to happen to our Au Pair. In our opinion, there is a simple rule to make this program successful. "Try to strike a fair balance between work and fun, and you should win".

If you are party girl, then this job is NOT for you. But if you are a smart and hard working person with a helpful attitude, you should easily be a successful Au Pair, and enjoy your time here having clean fun.

We would like to create life long friendly relationship with our Au Pair and we hope that displaying good work ethics, becoming part of our family, and also enjoying her free time here in USA will provide her with a great experience. And it will help her become a successful person in her future endeavors.
