Au Pair

Dear Au Pair, We live 20 min drive north of Auckland in a lovely semi-rural township called Riverhead.It is a great quiet, community minded place situated close to the forest, wineries and the river which feeds into the Auckland Harbour.There are great activities nearby, such as Mountain biking tracks, horse riding, beaches, parks etc, and we are close enough to the city to enjoy access to things a city can offer (shopping, cinema, sporting events, theatre, museums, zoo, etc).We could consider ourselves a fun, relaxed, caring family.We both work various shifts, therefore we ensure that we make the most of family times together.Family is a BIG focus for us, and although our extended families live far away our family and extensive friend base creates a great network of support and fun social times.Our family lives in a 4 bedroom home with a lovely spacious flat sunny section.We have a lovely deck which is brilliant for summer bbq's and for the children to ride bikes on.We have built a swing set/playhouse/climbing wall/ sandpit area, which means we have a very child friendly safe home.We would love for an Au Pair to come and join our family for 2008.We think that we would be a very welcoming family and would provide a home environment that would enable an Au Pair to make the most out of living in New Zealand. Hopefully this letter gives you a beginning to our family. We are looking to add to our family!!We live on a small farm just out of Wellington, New Zealand.Our house is about 35minutes drive from Wellington City. Mum is going back to work and we want someone to join our family to help look after me!My name is Oliver and I am two years old and very well behaved.You will love it in our family because we are happy and caring.Mum and Dad will always make you feel safe, and make sure you are enjoying yourself, because they really want who ever looks after me to feel like a loved family member too! Daddy works as an IT Manager and Mummy is going back to her career as a Business Development Manager.They also run a small business importing and selling horse fencing. I have lots of cousins to play with who are very close to my age and my aunties and uncles are all really cool.Mummy and Daddy have lots of friends too - most of their friends are around Mummy's age (in their late 20's).Mummy and Daddy love their friends and going out - they usually take me too!!Daddy says Mummy can be a bit of a party animal.I also have lots of fun with our neighbours - we have barbe
