We are looking for an Au Pair (experience is a bonus) who loves being around children to join our easy-going, happy family. I work full time but have somewhat flexible hours and my husband travels a lot in the summer months so we need an extra pair of hands to join our family during this time.
Start date: May- September/Oct
We are permanently based in the sunny, warm South of France (postcode 06330) 40 Mins from both Nice and Cannes so you will be based here too.
We are looking for someone who is a reliable, honest, organised and friendly young girl. NON SMOKER. DRIVING LICENSE IS A MUST. Excellent understanding of ENGLISH is also important. Basic cooking skills required!
You would be looking after our lovely twin girls aged 9 years old who go to the local French school 4 days per week from 0830-1630. Wednesday there is no school.
Daily routine: 0730 help with breakfast and getting girls and out the door to school at 0800.
Turn laundry, ironing and light housework (vacuum and mop downstairs).
Collect girls from school (7 min drive away) at 1630, bring them home and get their dinner prepared and help with any easy homework or play games. We are usually home around 1800-1900 depending on traffic!
Wednesdays is no school but they have art and pony riding classes they need to get to and from that are close by.
Summer holidays are spent hanging out at the pool, playing games, taking to/from play dates or day activities. The girls are best friends so always have a friend to play with but they also love to play games with the aupair or do arts and craft activities. We have had an aupair for the last 4 years and we really enjoy the experience! We keep in touch with every one.
Weekends are free (apart from the odd evening babysitting). Babysitting in the evening up to 2 times per week. There is an excellent cheap bus and rail network on our door step for you to explore this beautiful region on the weekends. Their are many aupairs in this area and our previous aupairs have met many great friends while here.
Accommodation: You have your own studio apartment in the garden with wifi, bathroom, fridge and TV.
We’d also like some help with light housework. We do have a cleaner once a week, but you’ll need to help keep the house tidy (girls room in particular) and some ironing as specified in daily routine above.
Pay is E110 per week depending on experience with all food and accommodation supplied. You are also supplied with a local French phone.
If this sound interesting please do get in touch with more information about you. We’d love to hear from you! Thank you.
