Fun and Energetic au Pair in North London

Posted: 49 days ago
Place: Wood Green, London



Hi! We are a working couple living in north London with two bright, fun-loving children (10 years old boy and 9 year old girl). We're looking for a flexible, experienced and reliable live in au pair to join our family starting at the beginning of September, and to stay until the end of the school year (minimum).
We are looking for someone who:
• Genuinely loves being with children, is happy and fun
• Is happy to help with homework, and will stimulate the children with interesting conversation and playing games with them
• Is quite sporty and enjoys being outside
• Enjoys cooking and is happy to help around the house
• Is clean and tidy
• Can be flexible
• Has at least 1 years experience working with children of a similar age and with at least 2 good references
• Spanish speaking would be preferred as our last few au pairs have been from Spain, but other European nationals welcome to apply if you are happy to share your language and culture with us too
Responsibilities would be:
• Helping to get the children get ready for school and dropping them off (7:30-9am), and then picking them up and looking after them till we get home (3 - 6 or 7pm) Mon-Fri during term time
• Taking the children to after school activities, play dates, the park etc
• Cooking balanced meals for the children, help with homework, play games, supervise baths and bedtime when needed
• Babysitting 2 nights a week (during week or weekend), as needed (but with plenty of notice)
• During school breaks looking after the kids all day (although most days they go to sports clubs)
• We have an excellent regular cleaner, but you will need to help keep the house tidy with light housework during the week: loading dishwasher and laundry, ironing, cleaning the children's rooms, maintaining common rooms (but we are looking for someone who can balance these responsibilities with always putting the children first)
• Weekends are free, and we regularly work from home and help with the kids so you will often end up with some extra free time
What you would get:
• Living in a warm, happy and supportive family atmosphere
• Double room facing the garden with your own bathroom
• Situated in Wood Green near Alexandra Palace, 7 minutes from the tube station and with great transport links to city centre. We are in a really vibrant part of town with lots going on (cinemas, bars, restaurants, theatre, gyms, parks all in walking distance) and other au pairs living close by who we will introduce you to
• Wifi and access to the household facilities for laundry and food. Meals are included if you are happy to eat what we do.
• £120 per week pocket money
If you are interested please send me an email with:
• CV or a description of your experience
• A photo
• Any references you have
Ideally we would like to meet all candidates in person so someone who is already in the UK would be preferable. We would be willing to meet exceptional candidates who are not in the country by Skype.
