Details of the au pair's room
Single room with beautiful sea view on top floor of house, away from other family rooms, (so it is peaceful!). Own bathroom beside.
We keep horses and we have a retired Showjumper who may be adopted as own for duration of stay to hack/school lightly.
The au pair's typical daily schedule
Start @ 8.00am, help get children dressed, ready for creche/school, give breakfast & bring to creche/school. Return home & tidy up after breakfast, put on a wash or maybe some duties relating to horses. Take an hour /two off. Collect children @ 2pm approx & bring home. Rest of day off. We are more interested in getting the right person so depending on where they are from, we will arrange working hours to suit, (ie. if from outside EU - only 25 hrs)
Extras offered to au pair
We may pay for English classes if required.
Personal note to au pair
We are keen horse people who like outdoors and keeping active. We have good sense of humour and want someone who will take their job seriously BUT know how to have good fun too! This placement will work best for someone who loves children AND horses and who has experience competing at horseshows and even training young horses because we are interested in that too!

An experienced driver is a must with a full, clean driving license.
