Amy, is looking for an au pair in Borehamwood

We are a family of three. Myself and my husband are both in our early 30s and our son is now 6 months old. I am originally from London and my husband is from Israel.

I am currently on maternity leave until I go back to work in September (Monday - Friday) full time. My husband works for himself so has flexibility but is usually out of the house most of the week days also and sometimes on the weekend.

At the moment we have just sold our house and we are trying to find a new one in the north west London area. At this present moment in time I cannot say exactly where we will be living by the summer or what exactly the hours will be but I imagine something like the below. The below is all subject to change but it will always include childcare and cleaning.

Monday - Friday
5 days a week you'll need to get our son dressed and feed him breakfast and take him to childcare in the morning.
2 days a week you'll need to collect him from childcare at lunch time and put him to sleep for a few hours. When he wakes you'll need to play with him until we arrive home about 5-6pm. On these days you will also need to give him dinner/ bath.

One/two nights a week we may need babysitting (probably once on the weekend)

10-12 hours a week of light house cleaning / keeping the house tidy / making the beds/ unloading the dishwasher which can be done in your own time.

The plan is to move somewhere which has easy access to a train station and shops because I go to work in central london on the train. But it will always be close to public transportation and shops. You will have your own room and a lot of space for you to feel right at home.

I am due to go back to work in September so we would really like someone to be settled with us during the summer (preferably end of july) so we can have a adjustment period and for that person to get to know our son and the surrounding area before I go back to work.

We ideally would need someone to be able to commit to a year. We also want someone to feel happy enough with us to stay for this time.

We require someone who has a good level of English and most importantly we need someone who is confident with young children and is happy to be left alone with our son. Our Aupair would need to be able to change his nappies, feed him and above all, play with him, take him to the park, cook healthy food for him and show him warmth and affection. The most important thing for us is trust.

We are very easy going, fun and flexible people and we hope to find an au pair who will be the same. We hope to find an Au Pair who takes great care of our son and respects our home as if it was their own.

We would like to build a relationship with someone who we can have an open and honest relationship with and therefore accommodate their needs and requests to ensure that everyone is happy.

Please let me know if you need anything else or any questions and I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks
Amy
