Letter from the family

Dear perspective applicant,

 Aurora - her 5 year old little sister.

 Rachele and Aurora have had English speaking nannies before, and we speak good English. The nanny will be fully responsible for the children and all nursery duties. Some occasional help with shopping and general supervision of things like water delivery and other home related errands (like a flatmate!).

 We are looking for someone who is nice, fun, happy, affectionate, neat, active, independent, not moody, well presented, extremely flexible, well educated, mature, confident, pro-active, driver and prepared to become a part of the family.

 We are looking for someone who has had lived successfully away from her family before and is willing to travel. Working hours are from 4PM to 9PM Monday to Friday. Saturday from 9AM to 2PM and from 4PM to 8PM. Sundays off, and one full weekend off per month. Babysitting might be required 2 evenings per week (included Saturday).

 Housekeeping and cleaning is the responsibility of Mercedes, a live-out full-time lady from Dominican Republic. Mercedes is Spanish mother tongue, and speaks some basic Italian. She does not speak English.

 All meals are supplied when working and the nanny is welcome to eat with the family. You will have your own separate room with en-suite bathroom, supplied with broad band internet access, sat tv and dvd player. You will have 4 weeks paid holidays, mobile phone and sim card supplied. The family might consider to pay for an introductory Italian course to be taken in your own free time after you have completed the trial period.

Duties and routines

Rachele will start going to elementary Fourth Grade on September. School hours are 8AM to 5PM Monday to Friday. The school is approximately 10 minutes driving from home. The parents will usually take her to school in the morning, and you would be expected to pick her up in the afternoon.

 Aurora will start going to First Grade on September. School hours are from 8.20AM till 4.30PM. The school is approximately 10 minutes driving from home. The parents will usually take her to school in the morning, and you would be expected to pick her up in the afternoon (before Rachele).

 You are expected to be confident in driving an automatic citycar in the traffic of Rome.

 In the afternoon you would drive to Aurora’s school to pick her up at 4.30PM, then to Rachele’s school to pick her up at 5.00PM and bring them home. You would spend the rest of the afternoon with the girls, help them for the shower and prepare dinner for them. This would imply willingness to do light housework (cook dinner and clean the kitchen afterwards). Primarily entertaining Rachele and Aurora with valuable and creative activities, such as arts and crafts, singing, acting, teaching them songs, teaching English language, developing their personalities, teaching discipline, playing in the garden. TV would not be outlawed for the girls, but access should be previously agreed, limited and tutored.

 On 2 afternoons (probably Tuesday and Friday) Rachele and Aurora will be having swimming lessons after school; you would be expected to drive them to the swimming pool.

 Occasionally you would also drive Rachele and Aurora to some friend’s home for gatherings and parties.

 We would require the nanny not to smoke.

 We are proud of our “enlarged” family, as Alexandra’s parents and sister come to our house very often to spend time and play with the girls. We consider this to be a great gift and a value to share with the girls. Hope you will not consider this in contrast to your sole charge role.
