Au Pair/Chicago.

We have three young children.We love being parents and they are the center of our lives right now. We try and do as much as possible with them and maintain careers.We live in a suburb of Chicago.Trains can reach downtown.As our au pairs you will have your own car to drive the kids around during the day and for you to use in the evenings. Our goal for this coming year is to continue creating a structured environment for the kids.They love to read, learn, cut, color and paint.They need someone that is willing to spend time playing with them and helping them with crafts.They like going outside (even in the winter).Their favourite season is winter because of the snow.All the kids attend some sort of schooling.Since they are all there from Monday to Friday you will likely have to help to get them up, on school buses and driven to preschool.Driving skills are important.My husband works from home, which means he gets the kids up, dressed and fed before they head off to school.Once he starts his workday he doesn't usually interact with the au pair or the kids because he's on the phone with clients or preparing to meet clients.He also travels occasionally for short trips to meet with clients. My job is very structures and requires almost no travel so once I'm home the au pair is off duty.I go into work early and return home around 5:30pm.I try to call the au pair if I'm running behind to let her know when I'll be home.As our au pair you'll hardly work any weekends as we tend to use up your hours Monday to Friday but maybe this year with everyone in school Monday to Friday morning we may get a chance to have our au pair start work later (10:30 or so). We're pretty clean people and do our best to keep things tidy around the house.As our au pair we would expect you to clean up your mess and get the kids to clean up their mess.This would include getting them to make their beds, wiping the counters after you've made lunch and sweeping the crumbs off the floor after lunch.It's the same expectation we have for ourselves at breakfast and dinner and we would like to the same courtesy of the au pair at lunch.The kids' intersts are pretty typical - right now both boys are very into cars and anything related to them.Our daughter likes princess stuff and dressing up in dress-up jewelry.
