  Description

  Childminder and housekeeper in Haarlem wanted!
  
  Hi everyone. We are Jessica (37), Kaia (7) and we live in Haarlem.
  
  Jessica works as a marketing and business consultant (remote/Hybrid). Kaia goes to school and has some activities after school.
  
  We both love sports, arts and music!
  
  I am looking for a woman to help me with my daughter and household since I am a single mom and I need to take care of everything by myself. We both speak Dutch and English and Jessica also speaks Spanish and Portuguese.
  
  As an aupair you would work (more or less):
  
  🦋Two weekend nights a month so I can go out.
  💡Two evenings a week, so I can go sport.
  😃Pick her up from school two times a week and babysit in the afternoon.
  ✨Cook dinner 3 or 4 times a week.
  🦋 Occasionally babysit last minute when I have to go somewhere.
  💡Vacuumclean the house once a week.
  😃Fold the laundry once a week.
  🦋Help with the trash once a week.
  😄 Wash the dishes on the days that you work.
  
  
  Its a total of approximately 20-25 hours. Please note that our schedule is semi-flexible, we are looking for a workawayer who is equally flexible. But we also understand some structure needs to be there so we will try to make the weeks as similar as possible.
  
  You will get your own room and all meals provided by us. Also you will get your own bicycle.
  
  You will have a lot of time for yourself during the day to go explore whatever activity you love to do in this amazing city!
  
  We are social and outgoing but also need our downtime. So when we are at home we usually chill, watch to, dance, play guitar, do some crafts etc.
  
  You will become part of our family, that’s why we want someone minimum for two months. We like to go out exploring and you are welcome to join us.
  
  I don' t accept couples. This spot is for one person only! I only accept people who have experience with kids and who can remain calm and understanding while dealing with a young child. You are also not allowed to bring guests into our house. Unless if its for joining dinner and you ask for consent beforehand.)
  
  I’m looking for someone who speaks English and preferably likes to do crafts etc with my daughter. Also you need to like cats, as we have a cat named Draco. He is super nice by the way, so if you like cuddles, Draco is very affectionate :)
  
  Plus if you speak Spanish/Portuguese so I can practice with you! Im also happy to help you learning better English or Dutch.
  
  We usually are a good match with kind hearted, relaxed, structured and empathetic people above 24 years old.
  
  *We are a neurodivergent family*
