Hello! Thanks for your interest to be our Au Pair. We offer an unique Au Pair experience since there is no childcare involved and it is Japan which is rare to find. Our ideal Au Pair will be someone who loves to cook and is good at cleaning. These are your two main responsibilities. We live on an organic farm so if you want to help in the fields that is a major plus but not required since we need cooking and cleaning help the most. The position is fairly simple otherwise with lots of free time for the Au Pair to study or pursue other hobbies and interests. In exchange for your help we provide free room and board plus a few other things (see below). We are results based people so you will not have a set schedule per se. Everyday you will have a list of chores to do. As long as the work gets done to a high standard, after that you are free to do as you wish. If you prefer to help out in the morning that is fine or if you are a night owl the evening is fine also. You will need to be independent and a self motivator since most of the time you will be by yourself.
Well your first job it to read our blog. We blog a lot at Japan Au Pair on blogger so feel free to read about us there!!!! Responsibilities of the Au Pair -Cleaning and upkeep of a 5 bedroom house. This includes some heavy duty house work especially at the beginning but should become easier as long as it is maintained. Currently we have a maid come in weekly though whose responsibilities you will take over. -Cooking 3 meals a day. Does not have to be Japanese food, any cuisine is fine! -Before days off cutting up vegetables for future meals. -Preparing a biweekly menu. -Preparing a daily shopping list (we buy meat and fish fresh only daily). -Photographing of products and uploading them online. -Reorganizing the house. -Packing for the move (we are moving to a bigger place in a few months!). Although we will hire actual movers for the moving day so no worries about heavy boxes we just need preparation help. -To be independent. Most of the time you will be on your own. Since you only help out a few hours a day you will have a lot of free time to amuse yourself. Use this time wisely. -To not break any Japanese laws and always be polite while in public. -Helping out with children`s parties three times a year (Cherry Blossom Season, Halloween, and Winter Holiday).
