Looking for a live in aupair to start end May/June

[gnulover]

Hi, my lovely aupair is moving on so I am now looking for someone fun, calm and flexible to take care of my two cheeky boys, Max (9) and Ben (7). Start date flexible but ideally end May/beginning June. Duties would include getting the children up (7am), washed, dressed and fed then taking them to school (10 mins walk) during term time. During the summer holidays I would need some help as they will be with their dad half the time and with me the rest but I work from home so would love you to take them out to the park for a few hours when I have them. During term time you would be free from about 09.15 when you could attend a language course if you wanted to but would need to be on hand if they were sick and were unable to attend school. Once a week it would be great if you could also pick them up from school but this is flexible.

Other duties would include ironing (approx 1 hr per week), keeping the children?s bedroom clean and tidy, putting their clothes away, and changing their bedsheets and general help around the house keeping it tidy (we have a cleaner). I would also require 2 week nights babysitting per week and one weekend every couple of weeks (I am a single mum so the boys stay with their dad every other weekend).

I have a lovely home near Dulwich hospital, the school is a 10 min stroll away and the train station is 7 mins walk (zone 2). You do not need to drive but need to have good English and a patient manner but be able to be firm with the boys. Non smoker preferred. You will have your own loft room complete with double bed, sofa, coffee table, wifi and tv and your own shower room (unless we have guests staying which is very rare!).

You will also receive 4 weeks paid holiday a year which I would like you to take when we take ours where possible. Please PM me for details of salary.

If you are interested in this position and would like to know more I look forward to hearing from you. References will be required, experience in looking after children is preferred and ideally you will already be based in London or nearby and be available to interview in person.

Many thanks
