We are the Lewis family. I am ***, my husband is **** and and our two sons are called ***** and *** is 7 and *** is 4.
We live in a village called Bourne End in Buckinghamshire in a five bedroom house. Bourne End is a lovely village and we are within walking distance of the shops and the river and several other lovely walks. It is close to a lot of other lovely towns and villages such as Windsor, Maidenhead, High Wycombe and Marlow. It is also possible to get the train in to London Paddington from Bourne End within 30-40 minutes. We live in a modern house at the end of a long quiet drive and the house has a lovely quiet big garden. There is a language college in the nearby town of Beaconsfield.
We are looking for an au pair to help us look after ********** and drop them to school as well as picking them up and helping with them in the afternoons. We are looking for someone kind and fun and with lots of energy!
We don’t need any help with cleaning, but we would like someone who will keep their bedroom clean and tidy as well as the bathroom they use and who would help to keep the children’s bedrooms and playroom tidy. husband works full time and mom work part-time as well as studying law so we are looking for someone who can be flexible sometimes with agreement in advance. We would not expect you to work on the weekends as we enjoy this as time to spend with the children as a family.
We are quite laid back, and like to watch movies and go for walks especially on the weekends where we often spend time with friends and family or have them come and visit. Husband and the boys also like sailing a lot on the River Thames near our house.
We will give you a great double bedroom with a TV and wifi access to the Internet.
You will share a bathroom with the children. Since we need someone who can drive we will pay for a car and insurance and petrol for use when running errands and collecting the children. The car will also always be available to the au pair for private use as they have sole use of it.
Mostly we are looking for someone who is happy to fit in and help with our busy family life and be part of the family and another special person in kids lives, a bit like a big sister.We are very open, outgoing and straightforward and would want anyone living with us in our house to feel comfortable and welcome.
We may ask you to babysit once or twice a week but not usually on a Friday and a Saturday in the same weekend.
We understand that you will probably want to study English and we will help you enrol at the nearest language college and attend during the week.


Thanks.
