    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a family of six. Three kids, 10, 7 and 5 and a 1.5 year old. Our kids are all in schools during the day. The eldest is starting sixth grade in elementary school, our second is starting second grade and the other two are in kindergarten. The mother is an accountant and the father is a lawyer. We also have a time consuming hobby which is running our country hotel, doing sports and seeing friends and family.

    We don't have any pets but we spend a lot of time at the grandmother's at her sheep farm and almost all of our friends and family has a dog so it is best that our aupair is not allergic.
    We are a open minded and a flexible family looking for someone who is good with kids and who wants to be a part of our family adventure.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a guest bedroom on the first floor. That is the only room on ground floor so it has good privacy. The house has in total 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room, tv room, storage and garage. And a garden with terrace.

    We don't always have time to cook but there is always food in the fridge. We are a busy house and don't have fixed meal hours (like dinners) so the grownups eat when they want unless something else is planned!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Nut allergy. No peanuts allowed in the house.
