Job Description
Our Family
We have four children: an 8-year-old daughter, a 5-year-old son, and 2.5-year-old twins (a boy and a girl). Our older kids love creative play, enjoy outdoor activities, and are fond of nature and animals. We also have a 9-year-old white, fluffy border collie who loves playing, walking, and getting a rub behind the ears. Our children speak both English and German. We're looking for help for the next few weeks before our Au Pair starts. We're flexible with the days and are seeking assistance with the morning routine - getting the kids ready for school and daycare - and light housework in the morning. Both of us work at a university. Dad is a professor in psychology, and Mum is returning to full-time work as a lecturer after several years of part-time work. Most days, Dad leaves for work early, so Mum handles the morning routine with the children.
Your Duties
We are looking for someone to help out for 3-4 hours 2-3 mornings per week (start 6:30 am, finish around 9:30 am). We have 4 kids and generally one parent will be around to also help out. We need help with organizing breakfast for kids, packing kids' lunch, dressing kids, packing daycare/school bags, getting kids into the car, supervising toddlers when necessary (18-month twins), etc. There will also be some housework once kids are at school, e.g. emptying and loading the dishwasher in the morning, vacuuming, folding laundry, etc. Please note there is scope for more work if our Nanny wants more work!
Our Perfect Caregiver
Somebody who has a genuine love for kids and loves spending time with them. Some formal/official experience with young children, e.g. practical experience in a kindergarten or experience as an Au Pair. Someone who can set boundaries with kids when needed. Open to taking an active part in our family life and family events. Someone who is organized, conscientious, and proactive when playing with the kids and doing some household work. Clean, tidy, and reliable. Likes Animals.
