We are a Polish-English professional family living in Worcester Park - mum is a teacher (also at a Polish Saturday school) and dad is a cost consultant in construction industry. Our two daughters are aged 8 and 5, both in full time school. The are bright and funny girls who enjoy dancing, painting, running around and learning new things. We also have two cats, so an animal lover is necessary.
We are a busy household with work and school commitments, life is intense, so we need an organised and confident person with sense of humour to help us all get through the day:-))) In our free time we enjoy spending it as a family, going on day trips, visiting friends, going to concerts or theatre.
We have had 4 aupairs in the last 4 years and it's been a very good experience for all of us, we have made friends with them and still stay in touch. Also, both mum and dad have been aupairs themselves before (in England and Switzerland) so we know very well what it's like to be away from home and learning about new cultures - we are here to help!
If you would like to find out more about our family we have a profile on aupairworld: 3366666
