Nanny jobs in COLOGNE Germany:
Full profiledear aupairs! weâ´d love to have you with us, please see below
---------------------------------------------------------
the way our week is usually organized is as follows: my husband,
kai, a business consultant is either usually away for the week or
works until very late, so we organize everything around us. i
myself have a parttime job as member of the board (head of
purchasing department) in the leading tea company in germany so
that we need to have someone reliable around us (of major
importance). thus, we have the following help: claudia is our 50
y old german very nice and happy "nanny", who is not living with
us comes every morning to help while i am at work and cynthia,
our great and happy american ap, is in town learning german- 3
mornings a week). we all 3 share the job concerning the kids
(annika goes to the kindergarten 5x/week plus 2 afternoon
classes, and alina also has a "kindergarten" activity twice a
week) and the housework (see below), thus the - frequently
varying - schedule thus is very flexible to accomodate
everybodyâ´s needs. --------------------------------------------
weâ´d love to integrate you into our every day family-life (e.g.
meals, walks, weekends - just everything - however, only as much
as youâ´d like to join us, if you donâ´t want to do something on
your own) and we love to have fun together during our free time
and our holidays . in the summer time we go to the south of
france for at least 2 weeks (usually twice a year) to my parentâ´s
appartment which is 150m above the mediterranean sea and in
winter we go sking in austria for 10 days over xmas, plus a few
other trips for a weekend or a week.
----------------------------------------
however, with the nice times and fun, the housework - which some
people donâ´t like at all- has to be done as well. it is important
to me, that once i come home from work, i have time for the kids
and donâ´t have to start cleaning the house etc. housework is
currently approx 10-12 hours/week cleaning (claudia does the
ironing) and the other approx 23-26 hours itâ´s babysitting and
playing time with the kids. would the housework be a problem for
you? i am explaining this, in order to tell you what you have to
expect upfront, so that we donâ´t have different expectations
which would make us both unhappy, iâ´ll try to explain everything
without "makeup"...
---------------------------------------------------
we believe that usually everything can be
discussed/negotiated/organized. you could talk to both, claudia
and cynthia (our american aupair) if you like, however, claudiaâ´s
english is very elementary.
it might be that my husband and i would like to have a weekend or
2 for ourselves during the course of the year, so youâ´d then be
alone with the 2 kids (maybe with claudiaâ´s help or one of our
gandparentâ´s help) for these 2-4 days. thus, we are really
looking for someone 100% reliable and mature, as well as positive
and motivated.
well, i prefer to be as open and as honest as possible and we
would be glad if you find that the positions described would suit
your needs and hopes...
---------------------------------------------------
most important to us is, that you are a happy, honest and
outgoing girl who does things with commitment and with fun, the
rest can be sorted out.
-----------------------------------------------
concerning your leisure time - which you might not always want to
spend with us?? - , we live close do cologne approx. 400m from
the rhine river, which invites you to go jogging, walking etc and
close to a park and fields another approx. 500m in the other
direction. down town is approx 15-20 min by tram.- tram station
is 250 m from our door. we live in a very international area
(with a lot of americans and japanese living near us) close by
the rhine. so, youâ´d probably like it.... . and, you can be sure
you wonâ´t have any language problems. sure not with us, nor our
neighbours (americans, canadians, italian etc) but also, youâ´ll
get along pretty well with english in the whole
town.
----------------------------------------------------------------
our main interest certainly is to help our kids learn english in
a natural way and not in a learning atmosphere, playing with you
and maybe with some other american kids. we consider us a
warmhearted family who like to have fun. we are very open with
each other and wish to give our kids the warmest and best
possible start into their lives (incl. "english as a second
mother tongue"). annika (3y) and alina (1.5y) are very sweet,
active and adorable girls. they are happy, love music, singing
and dancing, books, painting, outdoors; sometimes alina is a bit
thick-headed, but itâ´s not too bad for too long... we believe in
moral values and want to raise our two happy and cheerful, kids
in a loving and supporting atmosphere with a lot of space where
they can explore themselves and the surroundings, however, all
within a certain set of rules which have to be obeyed (time outs
etc.).
---------------------------------------------------------------
we practice a healthy and balanced lifestyle but are no fanatics
about this.
we currently pay 80€/week, plus own bed- and bathroom (room and
board), plus health insurance, plus 5% of price of open return
ticket paid every month by us (thus 60% of ticket price after a
year, to be continued perpetually, as long as you stay). this
compares to a usual (offically suggested) pay of 260€/month in
other german families.--------------------------------------------
and, please tell us, what your expectations are, what youâ´d want
to "get out of your stay" and what your major concerns could be.
thanks a lot. -------------------------------------------------------
if youâ´ve been asking yourself who the taller girls is on one of
the pics in the photo gallery, itâ´s anne, 10y old, kaiâ´s 1st
daughter, who is really lovely. she spends every 2nd weekend with
us. -
hope to hear from you soon.
thank you
