Hello.
We are looking for a energetic, organised and fun au pair to join our family. We are a family of 4 – mum, dad, an 8 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. We live in Wimbledon Park, a safe and friendly area in South West London.  We are a five minute walk from Wimbledon Park tube station, from which there are regular tube trains running into central London.  We both work full time and the children are at the local primary school (8.45am – 3.15pm Monday to Friday) which is a few minutes’ walk away.  Both children are energetic, love sports, music and having fun.  We live in a 5 bedroom terraced house in an area close to Wimbledon Park.   The area is full of families, many with au pairs, is very safe and quiet but has the advantage that it is easy and quick to get into central London (approximately. 20 minutes).    Nearby we have a large park, several shopping centres and a selection of cafes and restaurants.
We would like an enthusiastic, optimistic au pair who is full of energy with a can do attitude. We need someone who is independent and is happy to cook healthy and fun meals for the children.

Duties:

Help getting children up, dressed, breakfast.
