Au Pair or Nanny job description
We are looking for a live in or live out student to help our 19 year old mentally handicapped son in the morning before school and after school. Exact hours would depend on other activities that week.
Don't let his age scare you, he is only 5'5 and weighs about 120 pounds and is very good natured and definitely looks much younger. We can provide references from our previous aupairs who all fell in love with him and would obviously provide more information about his handicaps. The job would entail helping him get ready for the school in the morning, helping him with jobs around the house, self-help skills, sports skills, reading, music, etc. as well as driving him to outside activities. We also have a tandem bicycle he loves riding.
Family's Message to Au Pair or Nanny
Hello prospective aupair or nanny:
You will find us a welcoming family. We have had aupairs through the Aupaircare program for 16 years and would still have one now, but the official US Aupair program will not place aupairs with a child over 18. The aupair program has been a wonderful program and we have a large extended family of former aupairs. In fact we just returned from a trip to Europe where we visited four former aupairs. We have had a wonderful American live-in student this summer, and also have had a great after school student for the past school year whose schedule still allows him to help with our son this fall ao we don't need someone until January 09. In summer 09 we will need someone who is available for more hours.
We would be happy to house someone on a F-1 visa, but unfortunatley can't help anyone with a J-1 visa since the Aupair programs won't make an exception to the age rule. PLEASE don't contact us if you need a J-1 cultural exchange visa.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
