Paula, is looking for an au pair - V7R North vancouver northwest

Hi/Bonjour future Au-Pair! 

Nous sommes une jeune famille quebecoise qui habite tout près de Vancouver (Canada) et nous sommes à la recherche de notre quatrième Au Pair pour se joindre à notre famille à compter du moins d’Aout pour une période d’un an. Notre maison est située à North-Vancouver (moins de 15 minutes du centre-ville de Vancouver) tout en étant au pied des montagnes et des sentiers de randonnée. Le ski est à deux minutes de route, la plage et le centre-ville à 20 minutes en bus ! C’est l’endroit idéal pour profiter à fond de Vancouver.

As we are a French-speaking family, it is critical for us to hire someone who speaks French. French doesn’t need to be your native language but you need to be able to carry a conversation in French and have a desire to practice your French with our family :)

*** Please note that we are restricting our search to find a French-speaking Au-pair living either in Canada, or in a country eligible for a 2018 Canadian work-holiday visa ***

Our adorable little boys are Maxim and Olivier. Maxim is 6 years old. He is in grade 1 in a French school near our house. He is an absolute social, funny and witty little boy. Olivier is the sweetest little three-year boy you will ever meet. I promise he will make your heart melt every day :) Mom works as a lawyer for a large technology company in Vancouver, and dad works in management for a mining company, which means that he is required to travel abroad quite often.

As our Au Pair, you will be in charge of driving our kids to and from school every day. Since Olivier is in part-time preschool, you will be taking care of him after preschool hours starting at lunch time and you will be greeting our little Maxim at the end of his school day (around 3:30pm). As our Au Pair, you will be working 4 days per week and are going to be responsible to get the boys ready for school every morning and pick them up from their school every day (working approximately 9 hours per day). We live in a beautiful newly built 3 level house where you will have a private bedroom, private bathroom and access to your own living room at night. An unlimited bus/transit pass will be provided to allow you to participate in different activities with the kids and we pay very competitive wages. In addition to taking care of our boys, you will help us with keeping the house organized and with basic meal preparation for weeknights.

We need you to be in Vancouver by August which is when our current Au Pair will be returning to France. We are focusing our search on either Canadians or other French-speaking Au Pairs who can easily get a Working-holiday visa (note that France is not issuing any further visas for 2018). We want our Au Pair to stay with us for 12 months. We promise that spending 12 months in Vancouver is worth it as you will get to experience our amazing winter with access to our amazing local mountains and all the winter sports, but you will also get to experience our lovely summers and all the fun summer outdoors festivals and activities. You must be fun, caring, open minded, independent, responsible and creative. You must also have prior childcare experience and you need to have a valid driving license as you will be required to drive the kids to school and their activities. Absolutely no smoking and references will be required.

We really look forward to hearing from you and to welcome you to our family ! 

References are obviously available from our three previous au-pair who have adored their stay with us !

A tout bientot
