Hobbies
We are an active busy family. Dad likes to cycle ..! Mum loves a game of Tennis... Kit, loves Netball, skating and gymnastics , Remy loves to sing, do gymnastics and horseriding.. and Lola loves gymnastics, horseriding and swimming...
So, if you are fit and active and love being busy and outdoors, you will fit in well.. Although the girls do love craft and art as well, so your creativity will also be put to good use!!
Dear Au Pair Letter:
We are a family of 5 from Warrandyte in Melbourne VIC.
Dad age 41 who works in Banking
Mum (Me) 43 currently at home, but looking to get back to work .
and our 3 daughters,
Kit age 8
Remy 6
Lola 5.
Both Kit and Remy are at school in grades 3 and 2, Lola has just started this year and is in Prep.
We need help getting the girls ready and off to school in the mornings, some laundry and cleaning, then free time until collecting the girls from school and taking to after school activities such as Netball, Gymnastics and play dates etc.There will be the odd night of babysitting included...
There will be general housework, including laundry, sweeping, vacuuming and general tidying in the mornings and cooking for the children and yourself at night. You will need a drivers licence and be confident driving on the left hand side of the road.
You will have your own bedroom and bathroom downstairs with the children's play room to use as your own TV room at nights... Its not posh but its private!
Hours will be approx. 35 per week, for Full board and $200. You will have every weekend off to travel and sightsee..(although we would like some flexibility here and we will also be flexible re your travel plans)
Warrandyte is a green leafy village on the edge of Melbourne, with the Yarra Valley on our doorstep. Melbourne CBD is 1 hour away on the bus. Our house is old but comfortable, apart from our FAB new pool and outdoor entertaining area.. it has an amazing view of the hills and country side.. We have a Maltese Dog, Jindy, who loves walks in the forest 1 house away from us..Also a cat Billy and 2 bunnies...
If you love the outdoors and exploring you will love Warrandyte. There are koalas and kangaroos in the wild here!!! Often seen hopping in our street!! The Yarra River is at the bottom of our road and there are numerous cycle and walking paths..
