Au Pair

Here is an outline of what we are looking for help with and what happens each day with the kids. We are very flexible and are home often, so we are all a team together. We are flexible and can adjust the days off and schedule easily. - Be at home when the bus arrives with our eldest son (about 2:20 pm). - Sometimes pick up one or two of our kids from school in the afternoon (2:50 pm) -with Jacob in the car - he loves going for a ride in the car!. Ethan goes to practice 5 days as week. - Help the younger ones complete their homework or projects that are due. - Prepare healthy snacks for kids - Make sure they do their animal and other chores in the house, or play in the backyard, ride bikes, etc. - Help the kids with washing their sheets and making their bed; do Jacob's bed every week or two. - Since we have three kids (and therefore crumbs on the floor, or table, etc.) we expect the au pair to swiffer or vacuum the floors every other day or so - Help the kids put away their laundry, help Ethan organize his room (Sarah is very organized!). - Help with the kids dishes - help putting them in the dishwasher after meals and snacks, helping unload the dishwasher. - Do meal planning with mom to determine the meals for the week. Sometimes go grocery shopping when the kids milk or other items are running low. - Cook meals for the kids; 2 or 3 times a week make a large batch of pasta so Jacob has lunches to bring to school each day. - Do a 1-2 loads of laundry per week for our eldest sons clothes as needed. - Help Sarah and Ethan do their laundry and put it away. - Helping kids organize and put away their toys and belongings, and pick up after themselves. - Care for our eldest son including dressing, feeding, diapering, bathing, watching him. - Be an extra helping hand at home and when we are out andamp; about. - Be proactive in doing things related to take care of the kids. Play a board game with them. Bake something together with them. Find a recipe together and make it. Teach them a new skill. Learn about something interesting. Around the house, we'd love it if the au pair sees things that need attention and either direct the kids (if it's something the kids left out or made dirty) to take care of it. Or while there is downtime take clorox wipes and wipe off Jacob's toys, or periodically wash his blanket.
