Nanny jobs in GIMLI, MANITOBA Canada:

Hello/bonjour! We are a young professional couple who both work for the Federal government in Canada. We'd be seeking a French au pair for the period August 2006-07. My husband is a police officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and I work for Canadian Heritage/patrimoine canadien. While my husband is French Canadian and we are both bilingual, we are seeking an Au Pair who will only speak French with the children, so they will have a strong french language ability. Our community does not have a french school or bilingual instruction, so we want to make that a childcare focus. However, since Canada is officially bilingual French/Canadian, you will not be living in a language vacuum, since there is french television and other people around. Plus, if you speak English and/or want to learn English, you will have plenty of opportunity. However, since the Quebecois language in Canada is so anglicized, we would like a French nanny to provide proper language foundation for the children in the home environment. We are a busy family and involved in many activities in the community. Dakota is usually involved in at least one extra activity along with playdates with friends, while I volunteer with several clubs and organizations in town. In the summer, we take advantage of the sun and surf, getting on our boat whenever we can, while in the fall and winter, we get in the spirit of Halloween and Christmas with decorations and entertaining. We are both well educated and the love of learning and reading, and exposing the children to many cultures, beliefs and perspectives, is important to us. We are not a religious family. We support diversity and appreciate the arts, music, culture and people, and associate with likeminded people on a social basis. We do not tolerate illicit drug use of any kind. We are social drinkers. We believe in open, respectful communication with our children on sexuality and other issues, rather than hiding information. We enjoy entertaining and hosting parties for special occassions, but are also very structured during the weekdays for school and balancing a busy work schedule. We are a very loving household that encourages the children to express their feelings, be encouraged to be independent, but have firm rules for manners, respect for others and proper conduct. However, truth be told, we laugh a lot. Lucien and I make sure that our home is a place of love and respect for everyone. It's our refuge from a busy week and stressful jobs, so you won't hear any harsh words or get any tension vibes here. J'éspere que vous voulez travailler ici chez nous!
