Description: A Finnish family living in a large home on the beautiful island of Öckerö. You can take the bus and the ferry to the city of Gothenburg in less than an hour. They are looking for a Finnish-speaking Au Pair to help with their children’s care and language development. You must also speak some Swedish to communicate outside of the home.
Both children are in nursery or school full time. You will work Mon-Fri 5 hours per day, either a morning (6.45 to 11.45) or an afternoon/evening (15.15 to 20.15) shift each day. In the morning, you will get the children ready and take them to nursery and school, and then spend time cooking and doing light household chores. In the afternoon, you will pick up the children, serve them dinner, play with them, and tidy up the kitchen. Due to the early morning or evening working hours, you will have most of the day to either explore the area or study.
The children’s hobbies and interests include hockey, football, building anything, imaginary play, and adventures in nature. The ideal Au Pair should be comfortable with the lifestyle in a small village and enjoy nature activities, eg. outdoor play with children and camping or boating with the family. You should also be warm and active with children and be able to complete household chores independently. An EU passport is required.
A car is occasionally available for your personal use, and if you don’t drive, a bus pass can be provided. The family will pay for a return flight home for Christmas and a flight back home when you finish your stay, and your language course (Swedish).
This is a rare opportunity for a nature lover to work in a beautiful island location for a family who will welcome you as part of their family to look after their fun-loving and active children!
