Hello I am looking for some help with my home and children but a little apprehensive with having someone living with us 24/7. My husband works full time and I work 4 days a week. Ideally we would like someone living with us Mon - Thursday to: - help get the children ready in the morning, give them breakfast ready for us to drop at nursery (from September this will include one child being dropped off and pick up from school) - 3-3.5 hours daily domestic chores - cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking for the children - pick up children from nursery at 5.30 feed and bath ready for bed (giving us flexibility to be late home) - one nights babysitting (mon or Tue or Wed) - Typically I think we need 5-6 hours a day mon - thurs although I am flexible on times and duration I am happy to provide board, food, expenses etc. in addition to salary during this time. I need to flexibility of having someone around in case we are late so structured daily hours are difficult. Does anyone have an arrangement like this and know how I can find this help or am I being unrealistic and I should try an au pair who would fit most of the criteria above. Thanks Anita
