Au Pair
We are a friendly Australian family in north-west London. We are looking for someone to become, as far as possible, part of the family, yet will respect your privacy and time off. We have a large, modern house with a large garden that gets the sun all day. Our house is in a quiet, safe street with lovely neighbours and local tennis club around the corner.

Our daughter loves dancing, arts & crafts, playing in the park/garden, all things disney, stickers, music and has lots of imagination. We are looking for somebody who is kind, energetic and reliable.

You will need to then pick her up from school and help organise her afternoon activities, dinner and bedtime.
