Dear Au Pair
Are you looking for a family to join, rather than a "job", where we strive to achieve a win-win arrangement?
Do you want to grow your knowledge and experience of life in London, leveraging everything we can offer you to accelerate this process?
Have a look at the below "Expectations" section, and gauge whether the information there "resonates" well with you. If it does, please get in touch straight away, as we are keen to take you on board asap.
We hope you'll love your time over here, and we hope this will be the first step towards a more fulfilling development of your career and aspirations.
Greetings from London
-- Please describe your family and your children
Mum - 30-something Latvian - in London for 10 years: Final Year Graduate Student (BA Fashion Design) at a London University. Excellent at anything artsy. Has been described as a relaxed, happy-go-lucky type of girl.
Dad - 30-something Italian - In London for 15 years: Software Engineering Graduate then IT consultant for the investment banking sector (Barclays and Deutsche Bank) for over 10 years (SW Development, Business Analysis, Project Management). Linked-in verifiable.
2-year-old Little Fairy (this is for you to enjoy!): a beautiful (and VERY active) little creature.
5-year-old Little Angel (you won't have to worry about this one for the most): This is the half-sister of the eighteen-months-old Little Fairy, who usually makes an appearance at the weekend - and possibly other times depending on school commitments. If you really really insist we might let you spend some quality time alone with both the Fairy and the Angel at times! Lucky you! :-D On a more serious note, you really are NOT expected to look after this one for the most. It could happen once or twice a month but no more.
-- What do you expect from your au pair?
We have compiled a rather exhaustive list to be very upfront. What you read is what you get in terms of expectations. This might appear overly pedantic, but in reality will save us both a lot of time. If you are ok with the below, you won't get dislikeable late-minute nasty "surprises" about us later.
** If any of the following is not compatible with you, please do not apply. We definitively do not want to discover once you are here (!) that you are not happy with the below. **
Expectations:
1. An average of 24 hours of childminding is expected per week. Note this is on average. I.e. on any given week there might be more or less hours, but the average is 24 hours. You might have to do less on a week, and then recover the hours on the next. Or do more in a week, and have some bonus hours later. The rolling schedule is to be agreed at least 1-2 weeks in advance, and possibly even earlier. We will endeavour to be as flexible as possible, so that we can have an arrangement that makes everybody happy time-wise.
2. Cleaning the house. We don't expect you to clean for us. We just expect you to be clean like us in the house, and do your part in keeping the place clean for us all to live in. We don't have a cleaner and share cleaning commitments among ourselves. We don't want to use the expression “light” or “heavy” cleaning. We will all clean the same depending on what's required. And yes, every now and then it could be your turn to clean the oven, but you won't be cleaning more than we do. On average cleaning should be roughly around three hours per week.
3. We can offer you pocket money of £100 per month, which we know it is not a lot. We want to be really clear and upfront about this. If you find this is below your acceptable threshold don't apply as we want you to be content with the situation. IMPORTANT: We understand that there isn't much time left, but we might be OK with you taking up a part time job somewhere – however note the child-minding commitment comes before everything else, and this is only possible if the job is compatible with the hours.
