We are a family of 4 children (8,10,14 and 16) - and a dog! - living in Ham, near Richmond, London. We are looking for a friendly, reliable au pair to join us from the middle-end of August for at least 6 months to help out. The main duties would be taking the youngest to and from primary school, walking the dog twice a day, and cooking dinner for all the children for when they return from school. Being able to drive would be helpful, and basic cooking skills are useful too. We have a cleaner twice a week so you wouldn't need to do heavy cleaning, just tidying up as one of the family. You would have your own studio in the garden (bedroom, bathroom and wifi) so that you have a little privacy. Our current au pair is happy to give us a reference - she has learnt lots of English and had a great time. Hope to hear from you, best wishes Juliet.
