Hoi!
Wij zijn een Nederlands-Frans gezin en wonen in een buitenwijk van Sydney.
We zijn op zoek naar een au pair die op korte termijn ons gezin kan komen versterken.
Mocht je geïnteresseerd zijn, hieronder iets meer over ons.
Introduction
We are Marie and Eelko, and we have two beautiful daughters.
We have been living in Sydney for the last 5 years.
Estelle is 2 years old, and Lieve is 5 years old, and they love nothing more than playing and laughing together!
Marie is French, and Eelko is Dutch. At home we speak english towards each other, but French or Dutch when talking with the girls.
We live in a house in Killarney Heights, a green and quiet, family-friendly suburb north of Sydney.
There are two smaller shopping centres and several cafes and restaurants within a 15 minutes walk from our house.
From there you can take buses that will take you directly to the city centre, Manly beach and several larger shopping malls.
We both work full time (Marie in wine & spirits, and Eelko in tourism) and get home at around 6:30 pm.
You will help us by walking Lieve to and from school, taking care of her after school and by preparing the family meals.
On Thursday and Friday you will take care of our younger daughter Estelle during the day.
In addition, we will ask you to babysit for two nights per month.
All in all, count on ca. 45 hours per week.
As a member of the family, you will help us keep the house tidy (including loading/unloading the dishwasher / laundry).
However, you are not required to do any ironing or heavy cleaning.
Who are you?
You are a warm and caring person.
You take responsibility and show initiative.
You can stand on your own feet, but you are also not afraid to ask or help.
You enjoy going out with friends, but you are equally happy to stay at home and read a book with a cup of tea.
You are available from July 2015, for a minimum of 2 months, ideally 6 months
(or alternatively: from 16 January 2016 until June/July 2016)
You do not smoke.
You do NOT need a drivers license.
Most important of all: you love working with and being around children!
Let us know why you are interested in being an au pair, and why you believe we would be a good match.
We look forward to skype with you soon!
