    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am British/ South African and would love to share my culture with you. Matt is English, so it is a great exchange of foods and culture. We would prefer to have someone with English as their Primary Language, but would love to host someone that speaks multiple and also shares their culture with us!

    Help

    We are a close-knit family of three whose careers require us to spend some time away from home. Because of this, we are currently looking for our next au pair to join our family and look after our daughter Nina (10 Years). You would live-in and work Monday-Friday, having the day free both while Nina is at school and when I am home from work - in the evening. There may be occasional weeks when my working schedule requires you to do some weekend help, but these days would be used in lieu of weekdays. Nina is a very active child and does extracurricular activities such as gymnastics, tennis, dance and cubs. Because of this you will need a valid drivers licence, and you will have access to the car to use as well.
    During the time you will be here, it will mostly be the holiday time, so you need to arrange your day so you will have enough free time. Nina will be practicing for her 11+ exams and she will have tutoring Tues & Thursdays for 3 hours.
    During this times, you can do your own thing.
    The village we live in is about a 30 minute train to London, and is equally not far from other cities such as Oxford and Reading. The community we live in is safe and friendly, and has a variety of lovely walks and ponds. Only ladies.
