We are a fun loving family of 3. I am a Risk Manager for an FX corporation and my husband Steve is a Contracts Manager for a Construction company. Our son, George is 13months old and is a bundle of fun. We live in a cottage in a quintessentially English village and are fortunate enough to be just 100 feet from the train station which services central London is just 35 mins so a great opportunity for an au-pair who would like to soak up the sights of London. The University city of Chelmsford is just 4 mins by train from our front door. Our lovely village has all the amenities you would expect: shops/pharmacy/restaurants/bars/parks and sports facilities and we are only 15min drive from the coast so we consider our location very desirable. As a family, we enjoy spending as much time as possible together doing fun activities and getting out and about. As I am originally from Ireland, we like to visit my family in the beautiful town of Kinsale (south coast) a few times a year and also like to go further a field on a foreign holiday at least once a year. As our son is just 13 months old, we are looking for a very sensible but fun loving au-pair to give him lot's of love/cuddles along with helping him learn more through activity and play. We can offer the right au-pair their own private en-suite room, with TV and Wi-Fi. We will also supply the right au-pair with a mobile phone and a railcard to allow them travel to and from London.
In return for lodging and full board, we will offer pocket money (approx. £80 per week for 30hrs) but this would be negotiable if you are will to do a few more hours. My husband and I work full time during the week however, I work from home 2-3 days per week. We anticipate the au-pair will have their free time in the evenings and Saturday and Sunday (except for the very odd time babysitting which can be paid for separately) During the day - we would like our au-pair to concentrate on the care/play/interaction with our little boy to include preparation of healthy meals for him. There will also be some light housework but nothing excessive (luckily, cottages are very cute but not very large). Our son attends playgroup 3 days a week so we would ask the au-pair attend these groups with him. They are all within walking distance in our village. If the au-pair would like to study any courses while in the UK - the East Anglian University in Chelmsford is very close by and offers plenty of evening classes. We have 2 dogs (a pug and French bulldog) who are both super friendly and are outside in their own area in our garden so will not impose much if you do not like them.
