We're looking for our next experienced live-in Nanny/Au Pair for approximately 12 months to help with our young family - 2 kids (3 year old and 5 years old), non smoker essential. We are a loving, friendly & happy family who have 2 very bright young children. My husband works offshore, I work as an International Student Adviser at a University. We need help looking after & playing with our children when they are not in daycare plus some help doing daily child-related chores / housework for approx 40 hours each week. We live in a house in BALTIMORE within very close walking distance to a supermarket, cafes & park, as well as busses close by which go to the nearby beaches, shopping centres, gyms, swimming pools/aquatic centre, & to the city centre. We are approximately 3 km from the national parkland & approx 3-4 km from 5 different beautiful beaches – all yours to explore & enjoy. We also live within 10 mins walking distance to our children's daycare, so drivers licence is not actually required. Our current au pair loves the fact that Sydney is easy to travel around, fun to live in, & has plenty to do & experience. The benefits of living with us: * A caring, warm family environment * The chance to practice English if you are not fluent (both parents are well educated & have a high level of academic & conversational English) * Bus stop to the city & all amenities 3 minutes away * Unlimited high speed wifi internet access * Au pair has their own private bedroom in the house * Modern bathroom (shared with children) * A huge network of au pairs in surrounding suburbs as wel
Our ideal au pair would be the following: * Someone with a desire to be part of the family when on & off duty, but also happy to make friends & go out independently when off duty * Strong desire to learn & speak English (if not already fluent) with the family * Non smoker * Neat & tidy, & a desire to help keep the house neat & tidy * Happy doing light housework as required * Have some cooking abilities, we’ll also show you how to make the foods the kids like * Enjoy being active with the kids (bike rides, football, T-ball, walks, trampoline, visiting the park) * Enjoy doing arts & crafts, making pillow fortresses as well as telling stories & playing make-believe with the children (as we do not believe in using TV, ipad or video games as a babysitting tool) * Responsible enough to manage 2 active kids doing 2 different things at the same time (probably trying to break rules as well) * Assertive & confident enough to step in & calmly challenge poor behaviour when required * Creative enough to find interesting diversions for a 4 & 2 year old who often want what the other one has * Good initiative & ability to make sensible decisions on the go * Flexibility – while working hours will remain fairly similar, tasks may vary from time to time
