  Beschreibung

  *we have now secured a workawayer for January - March 2026 and are looking for a workawayer for April 2026 onwards*
  
  **Please note the visa requirements to work as an au pair in the UK - ask us for the link. Please only reach out if you have the right to work in the UK or are in the process of obtaining a visa. A student visa only permits 20 hours of work and is not sufficient for this role.**
  
  We are a happy, busy family of 5, living in South East London and looking for an energetic and fun individual to join us for a few months to help with childcare and light household tasks.
  
  We have three children - a 7.5yo boy and 5yo boy/girl twins. All three children attend local schools from 8am - 5.30pm Monday - Friday. The kids are great fun - they love Uno and jigsaws, reading, scooting/cycling, trips to the park, helping with cooking, putting on shows and generally laughing and playing. They all get on well and are kind, considerate and well mannered children.
  
  We live in a 6-bedroom terraced house and the workawayer would have a good sized double bedroom at the top of the house with their own shower room. From our local train stations, you can be in London Bridge or Victoria in about 10 mins; and Kings Cross in 25. We live 40 minutes from Oxford Street by bus. You would be free to travel at weekends and, on prior arrangement, for long weekends away. All accommodation and food are included in the exchange.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  London is a hugely diverse city, with endless opportunities for exploring and getting involved in the local community.
  
  As a family, we welcome someone who wants to understand how a British family operates, and all of us enjoy learning about other cultures too.
  
  We enjoy cooking/baking and you would be welcome to develop your skills and show us what cuisines you enjoy. Our eldest loves language and if you speak languages other than English he, in particular, would be delighted. Mum speaks near fluent German too.

  Arbeit

  We would like to find an au pair to help get the 3 children ready for school from 7:15am and to take the eldest a couple of miles (walk/train) to school each morning. You will leave the house around 7:55am and return at around 9:15am. The day is then yours until you need to collect our eldest from school at 4.30pm, and bring him home, before helping him with homework (maths, English, saxophone) and cooking a simple evening meal for him.
  
  The twins will usually be collected by a parent at 6pm and you, with the parent, will help with their homework, playing games and preparing a snack.
  
  Most evenings we would like help with the simple bedtime routine, reading a story, helping with bathtime etc. bedtime is 8pm.
  
  Dinners can be with the children or with the parents after the kids are asleep. We would like to include you in our family life!
  
  Evenings can be spent with the parents watching TV or going out with friends, or however you would prefer.
  
  The middle of the day would belong to you and the weekends are your own. Help around the house and a little bit of babysitting would also be greatly appreciated though the priority for us is someone who is a strong communicator who already speaks English well and is genuinely interested in getting to know our kids.
  
  Light housework would include tidying up the kids toys, helping with dinner prep, emptying the dishwasher, and keeping the house going.
  
  Mum and Dad don't go out much but do work long hours, often from home, so most mornings/evenings one parent or both will help too. Someone able to spot jobs and be flexible and use initiative would be great.
  
  It is paid (approx. 30 hrs a week and you will receive remuneration equivalent to the minimum wage on a standard au pair contract). You will need to show us in advance that you can work legally in the UK (i.e. be British or Irish citizen, refugee/immigration status in the UK to work, EUSS, Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme visa, or have work visa). Ideally the applicant should also have DBS or equivalent (police check), or agree to do one, and experience with childcare.
  
  Occasional days/evenings off, agreed in advance, are fine but will be unpaid.
  
  Paid holiday will be accrued per UK law.
  
  Would be ideal for young Brit or Irish person or student wanting to explore London's possibilities, do study/ internships/work experience (we would try to be flexible to allow working hours between school pickups or evenings).

  London has endless things to do at the weekend - lots of it for free. Whether it's museums, walking tours, national munuments, window-shopping, markets etc. You could take any number of trains to the coast, or 100s of lovely towns and cities across the country. Camberwell and Peckham are on your doorstep and are great, young, studenty areas with loads of bars activities too.
