    Description

    We are a family of 4 (mum, dad, 4 year old girl and 18 month old boy) living in Northern Rivers, NSW. We are looking for a kind, fun and friendly Au pair to join our family.

    Dad works in the creative industry making films and digital content for a surf company. Mum is a naturopath and nutritionist, working with people on their health and wellbeing and we both work from home and dad also from an office in Byron Bay.
    We have a vivacious little lady who is 4 who is the sweetest thing. She is full of curiosity about the world around her and loves swimming, rock climbing and is learning to surf. She goes to preschool and bush school and is a social little butterfly who loves to play and read.
    Our little boy is a funny and cuddly little dude with plenty of energy. He loves people, adventures and exploring the world.

    We love our town, Mullumbimby and are warmly connected with our local community. We are a social family and welcome our friends into our house often with bbq's, hanging out in the backyard, kids on the trampoline, water fights outside and spending time in our garden.
    We would love to welcome an au pair who was comfortable to be part of our family and friends and join in our life.

    We live in a big house in a quiet street. We have a big yard and huge trees which home a choir of different Australian birds and cows in the paddock out the back.
    Our home is 5 mins walk into our colourful town of cafes, food, shops and bars, 7 mins drive to pristine beaches and 25 mins drive from iconic Byron Bay.

    Mullumbimby is a small country town surrounded by mountains, rainforest, rivers and creeks and some of Australia's most beautiful beaches.
    We feel so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful nature for us to enjoy the things we love doing like surfing, swimming in waterfalls, floating in the creek, camping and hiking in the bush.
