Work abroad in Paula's family for 12-12 Months starting from May 2024 as an Au Pair to take care of 2 children of 1 - 5 years old & 6 - 10 years old in Vantaa (Helsinki Metropolitan area), Uusimaa Finland

We would need au pair´s help in the mornings about at 7.00-8.00 and in the afternoons at 12.00-16.00. Every now and then the schedule changes and we may, for example, need babysitting in the evening. Sometimes we may need it more than once a week, sometimes less often. When the kids are on vacations, the schedules vary more. During the holidays, an au pair´s duties can be more housework than childcare. However, your working hours are never more than 5 hours a day and 25 hours a week and no working at nighttime. Timetable is mostly planned for one or two weeks ahead so you will know your schedule and your free time in advance.

We are looking for a female au pair who:
- is fluent in English
- minimum age 20
- is responsible, honest, positive and diligent
- doesn´t smoke
- has childcare experience
- is ready to help us 25 hours a week with children and light housework, like keep the house in order (put toys etc. to their own place), load and empty the dishwasher, look after robot vacuums to be sure they do their job, do some light cleaning, prepare meals for children, feed the dog and take her to walk etc.,
- is ready not to use phone while taking care of the children (children deserve all your attention, at your free time you are free to use your phone as much as you like)
- is ready to clean her own things (also when it is au pair´s free time), prepare her meals when she is hungry if we are not having a meal together and so on - in other words take care of herself as a family member ?
- and, if she comes outside of the EU, meets the requirements for the residence permit: she
1. is max. 30 years of age, and has not worked as an au pair in Finland or in any other country before (if she has, she won´t get residence permit),
2. has a health certificate, less than 3 months old, showing that she does not have any infectious disease which would prevent her au pair placement in a host family,
3. is ready to do a Finnish language course (this is easy to do, it is possible to do the course online and it takes only few hours and costs about 12 EUR),
4. is ready to buy a private health and accident insurance covering medical and pharmaceutical expenses throughout the au pair´s stay in Finland (from ex. Swisscare 219 EUR / year). We shall pay the au pair 20 EUR / monthly extra pocket money to cover the insurance costs to the au pair,
5. is able to pay for her residence permit application fee (380 EUR) and the other costs the aforementioned documents, and
6. after submitting the residence permit application online an au pair should be ready to travel to embassy to identify herself.
