We are a young family always seeking adventure. There are 5 of us total, Chris (38 father), Sunny (37 mother), Kit (5 brother), Aura (3 sister) and Vonn (18 months brother) and we have one large (35 kg) but very friendly dog Buddy. We like to go camping and spending time at our cabin on the lake and travel. We are hoping to find someone to join or family for 6 months (or longer). About the Family We have 3 kids. The 5 year old is in swimming lessons and plays hockey in an organized environment. The children love to do arts and crafts and play outside. Chris works for the Canadian government as an engineer working on abandoned mine site remediation and Sunny works in communications for the government office. We are both home for dinner almost every night and take weekends off. We live in Whitehorse, Yukon in northern Canada. We also have a cabin on Tagish Lake (a one-hour drive from Whitehorse) where we like to spend long weekends and a few week-long holidays throughout the year (the view photo is from the living room of the cabin). As a family we like to get outside and go hiking, fishing, boating, camping, etc. Although Whitehorse is a small town (26,000 people) it offers extensive entertainment opportunities for families and children, far beyond what would be typical in a town this size. We also like to travel and usually go on at least one holiday a year away from the Yukon. In the last few years, since having kids, we have gone to Europe (Spain, Italy and France), Prince Edward Island Canada, Ontario Canada, Vancouver Island Canada, Hawaii, USA.
We are seeking an Au Pair with a sense of adventure and travel since you will need to fit in with our family. The Yukon is a unique place that is off the beaten path, even for your average Canadian, but once you get here you will fall in love with the beauty of the area. We live a fairly simple life and do most things together as a family. We are looking for someone to a big brother or sister and help care for our children (mostly during the week, but hopefully you will just be a part of the family at all times). Whitehorse offers many fun outdoor spaces and we hope that you will want to take advantage of them by going outside most days in all seasons. We would expect you to provide daily care (8-5) for our two youngest children. Our oldest son is in school until about 3:30pm and then will be home with you. Our middle daughter will be in a playschool program on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and otherwise, she will be home with you. The main duty is childcare. The secondary duties are: Light Housework - We anticipate this mainly being cleaning up after the kids throughout the day and cleaning dishes from lunch and snacks. Cooking - We anticipate this mainly being preparing lunch for the kids and the occasional dinner, but only on days where you only have one kid to look after. Pet Care - We would expect that if you were taking the kids on a walk in the woods you would also take the dog but that would be the extent of the pet care. Shopping and Errands - Similar to Cooking on days when you only had one kid to look after we may ask you to pick some things up at the store. Driving - Although Whitehorse is small in population it is big in area, so being able to drive around town will be a must. Driving won't be required every day, but it will likely be required at least once a week. Accommodations - we have a large (20 sq. m) bedroom space for our Au Pair. The house also has two washrooms one of which will be primarily used by the Au Pair, but occasionally used by the rest of the family as well.
