Personal introduction

We are looking for an Au Pair to help with two children (Two and nearly nine). We live on a former farm in Devon (South West England) about two miles from the town of Cullompton, five miles from the town of Tiverton and about Eighteen miles from the City of Exeter. The house is in a small hamlet of twenty properties and surrounded by our own land. Due to our countryside location the role would only suit someone with a driving licence. We will provide a vehicle. We are close to a main line railway giving access to London, Midlands and the North. We have two children Oliver aged nearly nine and Alexander Aged two years old. Oliver is at a local primary school in year four. My wife is an accountant and works in Tiverton. I am a local politician, predominately based from home but do need to attend a range of meetings in the local area, my diary is flexible and varied week to week. My wife and son have horses and a pony, opportunities for riding are possible but it is not essential for an au pair to have any interest in or get involved with the horses.

The Au pair's job

We will provide a large bedroom with double bed, wardrobe and drawers, the room has a wash hand basin but toilet and shower are shared. Fair access to the internet will be provided via wifi but we live in a poor broadband area and receive it via a cellphone signal. This means that data is limited and so we cannot offer streaming, online gaming or downloading large files. The room has a tv with freeview channels and a comfortable chair. Jobs to include. Helping with general childcare including on some occasions picking up and dropping off from school. Possibly cooking when I'm not there to do it. Laundry for the children. Occasional trips and activities with children. I spend a lot of time at home during the week, but would need cover for Alexander for the meetings I attend each week. We will ensure that freetime is given, but it might not be the same each week. I would expect that it would normally include Sunday and often saturday as well. In January, Alexander will start at preschool for at least fifteen hours per week, which will allow additional time off. I would expect only a few evenings babysitting, unless we change our habits completely. We have a cleaner that comes in one day a week for three hours. The only cleaning that might be needed would be general day to day tidying up and filling and emptying the dishwasher. Our current Au Pair is due to leave end of July and we can't offer a start before then, but September would be best start date. English language courses are available in Exeter on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings, dependent on which standard you need.
