    The main responsibilities are on weekdays, with weekends free. During school terms it involves taking the children, collecting them from school and looking after them until we get back from work. During the school holidays it involves looking after the children during the day and taking them to and from activities. Occasional evening babysitting.

    The safety and happiness of our children will be your top priority. We would like our au pair to:

    - have a positive outlook on life
    - help with homework and initiate fun activities with the children (crafts, park etc.)
    - undertake light housework - tidy the children’s rooms, do their laundry etc.
    - babysit occasionally so we can go out to see friends or go to the gym
    - occasionally feed the tortoises, cats and puppy.
    - help look after and walk our new puppy.

    We are active parents and spend us much time with the children as possible.
