Description
We are a young family, me Elvira and my husband Matthias have got two lovely children, a 3-year old boy Wendelin and our little one Lieselotte who will turn 1 in October. I'm an English teacher myself and would like my children to have as much exposure to English as possible. We invite you to stay at our place and look after our children. We also pay some pocket money and don't expect you to do any household chores. Mostly, we'd like you to play with our children and just use English when doing so.
I've had English speaking sitters before and my son understands some English already. The other English nannies enjoyed watching how the little boy soaked in the language and improving week by week. Also it's very rewarding to experience the naive love of a child who adopts you as his friend and companion.
The room we can offer is apx 18 m2 and we have got two bathrooms in our appartment. Our house is located in the historic part, very close to the pedestrian area, of the charming town Mödling South of Vienna. The train station is 600 m from our place and connects frequently and quickly to Vienna. Mödling is surrounded by woodland and vinyards, it has a beautiful old town and all possible amenities are at your fingertips. You will love it!

Help
We need 1st-language-English speakers for two hours of baby sitting on 5 days a week, mostly during the week. Baby-sitting means mostly playing with the kids, no changing of dypers or bathing or feeding them. I will probably also be around or close by. No special skills needed but of course love for children and some creativity and playfulness.

Meals won't be offered an a regular basis, because we have breakfast very early in the morning and on some days we won't be home for lunch.

If you wish to, we can teach you preparing Austrian dishes, of course.
