Welcome to Zurich! We are delighted to welcome you to our family. ✨
We are a warm and dynamic family of four, with two adorable young children: a cuddly two-year-old baby/boy and an energetic four-year-old who keeps us on our toes! We're fortunate to live in a pleasant area of Zurich, where the forest meets city life, offering beautiful views of the lake. Our modern and comfortable apartment is perfectly connected by public transport, making it easy for you to explore the city.
We're looking for someone passionate about children, responsible and proactive, who will become part of our family journey. Your main role will be caring for our baby three days a week, while helping with daily housework and cleaning. We're flexible and open to discussion to find a schedule that works for everyone - we value your personal time and independence!
We're proud to have hosted 10 Workaways (all with 5-star feedback! ⭐), and our previous au pair, who's returning to studies in August 2025, can tell you all about her wonderful experience with us.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing our daily life with you!
See you soon, Your Future Swiss Family
P.S. Fair warning: our one-year-old has already mastered the art of hiding socks in the most unexpected places - we're still finding some from last month! I hope you enjoy playing hide & seek!

In the evenings, we generally enjoy quiet time and privacy in the living room from 20h30 onwards. Also, we have sleep doors open to hear our son during the night if he gets into trouble. Therefore, our guests are welcome to stay on there dedicated space or go out as there is a private entrance to access their room and also access to our garden During the day I am at home and I also like a bit of privacy so we appreciate discretion sometimes.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We are a multicultural family. We speak 3 languages at home and my husband also speaks Russian.
We leave in Zurich, at the border of the forest and close to the lake and the river. Zurich has a lot to offer with the mountains and the lakes! Also it is very easy to travel with the train across the country and Europe.
We both work in tech companies. I will be in maternity leave and I will have lots of time to spend time with you and discuss around a good meal as I love cooking when I have time.
During my maternity leave I investissement (one of my hobby). My other hobby is aerial dance ( dancing on fabric in the air) and I would love to get back to sport if I have help for childcare. We both have our parents far away so we don't really have time for our hobbies.

Unterkunft
Our apartment is freshly built and very modern. We are in a 150m2 apartment with 4 bedrooms and a little garden. Our guest will have a Master bedroom (20m2) included a private bathroom with balcony and access to our small garden. Our previous Workaway really liked the space. Also the room is far from the kids so you will not hear anything if they cry at night.
