About Me
Short-Term Live-In Childcare / Au Pair – Newbury (26 Dec – 9 Jan)
We’re a friendly family based in Newbury looking for a caring, responsible person with a genuine interest in children aged 11 to 17 to stay with our two independent kids while we’re abroad from 26th December to 9th January.
About the role:
You’ll be looking after our two lovely children — an energetic 11-year-old boy who loves cycling and spending time with friends, and his quiet, creative sister 17-year-old-teenager who enjoys art projects and chatting with her friends.
Our son’s school is just a 10-minute walk from home. School starts again on 5th January, and we’d ask for light homework support for a few days that week. Also, he has Eczema and would need support with taking daily medication and help applying ointments before bedtime.
Great if you can prepare meals, normally a light lunch and main meal around 16:00. We’ll leave the fridge well stocked and kids are able to help themselves in between.
What’s included:
• Comfortable private bedroom and shared bathroom
• Full access to the home and facilities
• Daily budget provided for meals and activities with the kids
• Travel costs covered
• Generous payment for successful completion of the two-week live-in position
During the first week, the kids will be on holiday, and you’ll have the chance to enjoy some festive fun around Newbury.
What we’re looking for:
• Someone reliable, kind, and easy-going
• A genuine interest in older children and teenagers
• References preferred and a valid DBS check required
• Ideally with some experience caring for children or young people
We’d love to meet you online first to get to know each other and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
If you’re up for a fun start to the new year and a rewarding two-week live-in opportunity, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you!
Location: Newbury, Berkshire, UK.
Dates: 26th December – 9th January
