Halutaan Au Pair Englantiin

Dear Au pair

We are a half English and half Finnish family that have recently relocated to England.. We are in the process of moving house due to living in a less than desirable area and the mummy of the family (Eedit) has an interest to study to become a teacher at the local college. Daddy (Chadd) currently works about 35 min drive away and the baby (Elle) is turning 1 in February. The eldest Boy (Kai) is going to attend the local school at the end of the road.

We live in Illkeston in a Finglish family with a lot of understanding and traditions of both cultures. Currently The eldest Child (Kai - English) attends the local school from Monday - Friday and Usually goes to stay with his mother at the weekends. Elle our youngest daughter (Finnish) is currently in the process of learning how to walk and crawling everywhere.. She has an allergy to Milk and Soy so has different dietary requirements to your usual baby. Daddy goes to work 5 days out of 7 and mummy is currently looking to study at the local college but childcare has to be arranged first.

We are a very honest family and would expect the same in return. There are local learning centers and colleges offering ESOL courses to learn more English or other part time courses if you have an interest in these. There are many bus routes to the local cities (Derby - Nottingham - Leicester) and also the surrounding areas. Mummy's first language is Finnish but she is also very good at English and can offer to help improve English if you struggle at all..
The tasks would be taking Kai to school and collecting. And various activities in and around the home when required (Parks etc). A little cleaning - hoovering and dishes/simple tasks.
Elle just needs someone that is alert and conscious of how fast a baby can move and provide assistance in looking after her when mummy is at college and daddy is at work. sometimes babysitting in the evenings when the children are asleep (or just being in the home and listening out for them so they are safe).
When we take trips to other cities or shopping your more than welcome to be included as we have our own car and a spare seat. We are looking for someone to be a part of the family and not an outsider. We would include you in any family activities to make you feel welcome (children party's etc) We have a moped that you could have the use of if you have a licence (we could arrange to add you to the insurance) and last but not least be a friend to Eedit who is the only person currently speaking Finnish in the home.
