Details of the au pair's room

Large converted attic room with en-suite shower room. Own television. Full access to rest of house including large family kitchen and snug room with television, DVD and Wii. WiFi Broadband access - access to laptop.

The au pair's typical daily schedule

A typical day would involve getting children up and supervising breakfast, assisting daughter with ponies, supervising children (and friends if there to play or on a sleep-over) in absence of parents, light housework, organising lunch etc. We are looking for 30 -35 hours work a week with 2 free days - this may not fall on the weekend as we are often out competeing with the ponies, when you may have sole charge for a few hours.

Extras offered to au pair

We will pay half tuition fees for language tuition / school.

Personal note to au pair

We are a very country orientated and horse mad family...we would love to welcome someone who enjoys the great outdoors and would like to join in with our busy lifestyle!
