Dear Au-Pair,

We are an international family, Henning (father, 35, German) and Margaux (mother, 35, French), living in the beautiful town of Kappeln, Germany. We welcomed our daughter Josephine early November 2024, and are looking for an Au-Pair to start approximately mid-September 2025. We are flexible with the starting date though.
We live in Kappeln, Germany, and spend a few weeks every year in La Baule & Guérande, France. You will be traveling with us (if you want to).

Ideally, we would like a Danish speaking Au-Pairs, as our goal is for our child to learn Danish and go to the Danish Kindergarden/school nearby.
If you don't speak Danish, then you must be able to speak German or French as we don't want to confuse our daughter with too many languages.
Duration: the longer, the better, so our daughter has time to build a real connection with you.

We speak German together at home, but are both fluent in English and I speak French with the little one so you are welcome to practice it with us as well :-)
Ideally, you will have some notions of German or the desire to learn. There is no language school directly in Kappeln, but we are happy to organise either private lessons, online lessons, or find a class in the city of Schleswig (about 50 minutes away by bus).

We live in a historical (but completely renovated) house with a garden in a very friendly neighbourhood. You will have your own bedroom (bed, desk, chair, wardrobe... just let us know if you need anything else) on the first floor. The 4 of us will share 2 bathrooms + a separate toilet, the kitchen, dining room, living room and library. If you want a private shower, you may use the guest bathroom on the ground floor as your own, but we still need access occasionally as the washing machine is there and it's the only toilet downstairs.
There is a bus stop in our street but it does not run very often. The central bus station is about 5 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk (I can drive you if I am available). You are otherwise welcome to use my e-bike or bring your own. The city center of Kappeln is about 30 minutes walk.

Let us know if you have more questions or it sounds like a good fit.

Best wishes,
Margaux
