Trabajo de Au Pair and Niñera en Grenoble, Alps Francia durante 4-6 meses en la familia de Vanessa

*** We are looking for someone from March-April to the end of June-July and then for someone from August-September staying for more or less 9 months ***


Dear au pair,

We are a French family with three young boys: Tristan is 8, Jonathan 5 and baby Vincent 18 months old.

We live in a big house in a lovely village in Greater Grenoble, 15mn from center of the city, 30mn away from ski resorts and 1h30 from Lyon and its international airport. Mum works on the big campus of Grenoble, where there are many foreign students and easy access to French lectures (if you are interested by following a program at university while being aupair, we are the right family for you!). Dad teaches maths quite near our home. We both work part of our time at home.

As we live very close to mountains and go outside on week-ends, we love nature and sport: from January to March, the boys ski every Wednesday afternoon and week-end ;-) We are close to amenities and transport links, we also have bikes and if you like sport and if you are environmentally aware as we are. We have a cat, but like us, he loves to be outside! We also have 3 chickens.

You will help around 30 hours a week. We basically look for someone having a prior experience with kids of this age but most of all, we would like to have a third adult at home giving extra help when necessary (it is easier to be 3 adults when there are 3 kids around !). During school week, the usual schedulde is to pick the two older boys at school at 3:30 pm and watch them until 5:00pm, then pick the baby at the daycare. You will need to help with dinner and light duties (supervising children so that they tidy up their rooms and dress the table, filling/emptying the dishwasher, helping with the laundry...). On wednesday afternoon, you will take care of the two older boy and bring them to their activities or propose some new occupations (ice skating, roller, swimming pool, indoor games...).

We really want someone who loves kids, is responsible, patient and flexible. The ideal aupair for us would also be interested by following some lectures at university (either as a first experience in university or for completing a degree) while preserving time with the kids when they finish school. Grenoble Alpes University offers unique sport opportunies to its students, it might also be a good occasion to meet other people your age.

We will of course, do our best to include you as a member of our family. Our children are very sensitive and know how to return love to people who appreciate them (and play with them!). For your help, you will be paid between 270€ (240 £) and 320 € (285 £) per month (French standard, negotiable) with bed and board, your own room with internet access and a bathroom shared with the children only. We can also partially pay your student fees if you are enrolled in a university program. Being a student in Grenoble opens many doors!

If you think you feel ready for this experience, do not hesitate to reach us! we are looking forward to hearing from you. Note also that if you have a close friend also interested by an aupair experience, we know another interested family very close to our home.
