Tim and Noam are two really happy little boys.
Noam (5)loves to help around the kitchen, he is very curious about cooking and enjoys helping with the cleaning too, he loves trains. Tim (3 years) loves to play with his brother and sisters and does not want to be left behind he enjoys train and helicopters, he copies all what the others do. They both can get over affectionate so make sure you keep the boundaries around your space or they will follow you everywhere.
Becky (8)is a very active and creative young girl, she likes to be a little clown and enjoys pleasing everybody, she needs clear rules. Méline (10) is more sensible than her younger sister, she will easily give a hand when need be and knows where to find most things in the house, she likes arts and craft and aims for perfection.

I enjoy reading and taking the kids to outdoor activities. Luc my husband is into drama, cinema and music. We used to live in a village in France and are discovering city life with the kids. We are a 25 minutes train ride from the city center and 5 minutes walk from the beach.

We would like the kids to learn other languages and to get to know other cultures (this is also why we moved to Dublin). We have had an English au-pair for a year then an Italian/Australian and again an English Au-pair then a Spanish, Australian and a Romanian couple, a Greek/Brazilian male au pair, a Brazilan aupair and currently an American Aupair. We believe that gaining an understanding of another culture will help our children to be open minded and non judgmental.

All our bedrooms are upstairs; yours downstairs and you will share a shower room (we have 4 bathroom).

We really enjoy the cultural exchange. We believe it is very enriching for both you and us.

Dear Nanny/au pair
A little bit about the job :
Our family has moved from France to Dublin in July 2014. My husband and I are working full time.
We have another Aupair and the job will be shared with her. You will only work 4 days a week. 1 Day alone and 3 days with a second aupair with you.

Méline (10) and Becky (8) are going to school 9 to 14:40 and Noam (5) from 9 to 13:40 and Tim (3) is going to Montessory since September 2015 9 to 12:00. You will look after the children from 7:30 to 9:00 drop them at school/Montessory at 9:00. Then you will be free from 9:00 to 12:00.
At 12:00 you will pick up Tim and go home, nap for Tim and 13:40. Noam will help you prepare the dinner and look after the laundry. You will then pick up the girls at 2:40. After 2:40 you might go to the park or the beach or activities. then dinner homework bath or shower and you will finish between 18:30 and 19:00.
On Tuesday Tim and Noam go to swim classes and Becky to Brownies. Noam also has GAA.
On Wednesday Meline and Becky have music classes. On Thursday Becky and Meline play Basketball.
Friday Tennis for Noam, Meline and Becky. In the evening Meline goes to guides.

We will work out the share of work between yourself and Kaitlin (other Aupair from the US).

You might have to look after a sick child from 9 to 12 and you will have days when you will not be working when the grans are visiting.

The kids are easy going and being part of a big family are use to helping around the house when asked and under supervision. You will be in charge of all the meals when you are with the kids but the kids will help you get things ready and help clean up after.

Whilst looking after the kids you would be in charge of ensuring the kids keep their room and play room tidy (they are expected to participate with your help). You will be expected to do minimum house work (put the laundry to dry, and clean the kitchen after meals, help the kids clean their bedrooms and bathroom).
