  Description

  Hi!
  
  We are an English family living on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Scotland. Our family consists of myself (Helen, 29), my husband (Pierce, 30) and our daughter (Maddison, 2). We also have a large dog, Dory… who is very over friendly so it’s important you like dogs! However, she will mostly be with my husband.
  
  My husband often works away so I am looking for someone who would like to stay for ant least a few months and help me out when needed as he mostly won’t be here. We would love someone who will become like an additional family member.

  Help

  *Please note you must have a valid visa which allows you to be an au pair in the UK.*
  
  Maddison goes to full time nursery during my working hours so you would have the opportunity to explore or study if you would like! And lots of free time…
  
  I would most likely need help as follows (approx 10 -20 hours per week):
  - willing to be in the house a couple of nights a week so I can go to the gym or do some shopping etc
  - pick Maddison up from nursery and make her dinner if I have to work late which should only be approx once a month
  - when work is busy help with preparing food for Maddison and keeping her toys and clothes neat and tidy so I can maximise my time playing with her
  - light housework
  - we would love it if you want to hang out on weekends too but that’s up to you!
