Description
About Us
We’re Jo, Ama, and our little boy Mac (born in January 2024). We live in a cozy wooden house on the outskirts of a village on the beautiful Atlantic coast. Our home is surrounded by a large garden, and we have two friendly cats who love spending time outdoors.
Our family is bilingual — Jo is French, Ama is German, and we mostly speak English at home.
Our area offers sandy beaches (just 2 km from our home), lovely forests, delicious food, and a warm community. We enjoy music — especially hip-hop — and love staying active with sports like basketball, surfing, skateboarding, swimming, cycling, and stand-up paddleboarding.
Ama runs a small café near the beach, and Jo works for a family business. Summer is a busy season for us, so we’re looking for an au pair to help care for Mac during the day.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a caring, responsible, and fun-loving person to join our family for the summer season. Your main role will be looking after Mac, primarily during the day from morning to evening.
Why Join Us?
This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy life by the sea, explore our beautiful region, and become part of a warm, bilingual family. If you love children and are ready for a memorable summer experience, we’d love to hear from you!
How to Apply
If this sounds like the perfect summer adventure for you, please get in touch — we can’t wait to meet you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Cultural Exchange at Our Home
Living with our family offers a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange. As a bilingual household, you’ll experience a mix of French, German, and English in your daily life. Jo is French, Ama is German, and we mostly speak English at home — perfect if you’re looking to improve your language skills or immerse yourself in different cultures.
We love to cook and enjoy sharing our favorite dishes, from French classics to German specialties, and we’d be excited for you to introduce us to recipes from your own culture too!
Our lifestyle is active and social — whether it’s spending time at the beach, exploring local markets, or gathering with friends and family. You’ll get to experience life in a vibrant tourist area with a laid-back coastal vibe.
You’ll also have the chance to connect with locals, enjoy regional traditions, and even meet some of the friendly faces at Ama’s café. If you’re interested in learning about café culture or how things run in a small business, we’re happy to share that with you too.
We’re looking forward to welcoming someone who’s open-minded, curious, and eager to be part of our family — sharing stories, experiences, and creating lasting memories together.
