Au pair needed for a family with 2 fun children to help us with before and afterschool care.

Dear Au pair,

We are looking for someone to come to Brisbane, Australia to join our family and help us out by looking after our girls. Our family consist of my husband, Ben (39yrs), our 2 beautiful girls Kira (soon to be 8 yrs) and Kailani (5 yrs) and myself, Carina (41 yrs). Kira is about to start yr 3 and is doing well. She is also busy with music and hockey and having fun. Kailani is a character. She will start prep next year, 5 days a week and otherwise does swimming, gymnastics and music. Mostly your job will be before and after school cares including taking the kids to school and their activities.

Ben and I are both surgeons here in Brisbane. Ben works full time and i work part time (4 days a week with alternate Wednesdays and alternate Friday's off when I like to look after the girls. We do some on call but try not to be on call together. Outside of medicine, we love to take advantage of Brisbane's outdoor lifestyle. Ben's a keen sailor and we enjoy the water lifestyle around brissy. We also generally love to travel, go on picnics/to the beach etc. At home, we love music. I play the piano and guitar (though not seriously any more), the kids love to sing and are learning the piano. Kira and I are learning violin together. Ben just loves to listen.

Our home is located ~10km from the city centre. You will have access to a car during the week and most weekends. We have a reasonable sized home and you will have your own room with ensuite (that you only have to share if we have guests). We would like you to feel like part of the family when you are here and we would like you to feel welcome in any part of our home. We have a pool for you to cool off in the summer if you like. You will have access to wireless broadband, we will give you a mobile phone with basic credit.

Your job will mainly be to look after Kira and Kailani while i'm at work. Get them up in the morning and get them ready for the day. As of next year, they will both be at school, so mainly u'll be doing school drop offs and pick ups and taking them to afterschool activities. You will need to help them with homework and music practice. We are usually home to make dinner and put the kids to bed at night. The housework I would ask you to do is their laundry and keeping their areas relatively clean.... we realise they are children and would not expect things to be spotless! Other than that and your own personal needs, there is not much house work as we already have a cleaner. Helping out around meal times and maybe the odd meal if you enjoy cooking would be greatly appreciated but not a requirement.

We would aim for you to have a great stay in Australia and nearly treat you as an exchange student in that way. We like to show off our beautiful country and would include you in our travels if you wish and things are working well for all of us.
Thank you for your interest.
Carina, Ben, Kira & Kailani
