Hobbies
Hi, we are a very active, sporty and outdoor family. We have four boys who love cycling, swimming, footballing and trampolining. On the weekends and during holidays we love to go camping, sailing, canoeing and cycling. All of us except the youngest 2 children are active within the Scouting organisation - (mum and dad are both Scout leaders).
Dear Au Pair Letter:
Hi, we are a fun loving British family with 4 kids who live in the amazing, vibrant and historical City of Bristol.
Both mum and dad are teachers and we have a very busy, socialable household with plenty of visitors. We need a genuine and caring person who can support with school drop offs and pick ups. There will be some domestic duties but the biggest task will be to help maintain a fun loving home.
It is very important to us that we have a person who has a good sense of humour. Our boys are lovely and very thoughtful but they can be a little challenging at times when they are tired and need food. We need someone who can be flexible and willing to become a part of our family. We are a very supportive family and know how much value this person will bring to our lives and we too would want to add value to their lives and support them and also be flexible to accommodate them.
We are also looking for someone who is wanting to experience family life and meeting a lot of new people. This person needs to be able to use their initiative and think like a mum!
We need support with dropping/collecting our 4 children to and from school/nursery 3 days a week and up to 2 nights baby sitting. The rest of the working day will involve domestic support such as house work, washing, ironing and cooking and shopping/erands. The 25 hours per week are negotiable and could fit into 3 days, if the Au pair would like the rest of the time to themselves or studying.Working hours do not fall on a weekend and there would be reduced hours in the school holidays.
We live in the city of Bristol and this can offer a lot to a visitor sports, arts, theatre, music, and a large social scene, outdoor living and we are a 20 min walk from the city centre. We also have an international student live with us for part of the year and this is also a great way to meet people from other nations. They study English at a local college where the provision is very good. We would be prepared to faciliatate time for our au pair to study English if they desired as we feel this is very important. We hope you like the sound of us, please contact for more information.
