*** We have found our aupair from August 20th to Easter 2020. We are still looking for someone for this summer! ***

Dear au pair,

We are a French family with three young boys: Tristan is 7, Jonathan almost 5 and baby Vincent 9 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 is a teacher and researcher, she works on the big campus of Grenoble, where there are many foreign students and easy access to French lectures. 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!

You will help around 30 hours a week. We basically look for someone having a prior experience with kids of this age. You will be asked to take care of the two elder boys when Mum is breastfeeding the 9 months old baby and/or busy with work. You will need to help with lunch/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...). During one week at the end of June/beginning of July, we will have to travel to Lille for work with the baby, you will have to join us and take care of our son when at work.

Except for the stay in Lille, this job description is adaptable, most of all, we would like to have a third adult at home giving extra help when necessary. We really want someone who loves kids, is responsible, patient and flexible.

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.

If you think you feel ready for this experience, do not hesitate to reach us! we are looking forward to hearing from you.
