Description
I am a single working mum, living in Cornwall in a three bedroom apartment, overlooking the sea. Our spare room, in which I’d like an Au Pair, has the best sea view of the apartment. I have an eight month old baby girl and run my own beauty business. I only work here 2-3 times a week now, since having Willow (my baby.) The apartment I live in is above our family pub where I also work when needed. I drive and have a car which I will insure an Au Pair on. I love to read, swim in the sea all year round, eat and cook good food, drink wine, paint, practice yoga. I like a more spiritual life style. I would love me and my daughter to learn another language, and her to experience another culture! I am looking for someone who fits this lifestyle! Someone who will be a part of our family, help and share the work of Willows care, cooking, cleaning and exchange our languages.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Cornwall is such a beautiful part of England!! We live on the south coast in a quiet village, right by the sea! Your bedroom window over looks the sea and has the best view in the apartment. We live above our family pub which has all local produce (food and drink.) You would learn lots about the culture of Cornwall by being here! You will also learn the funny Cornish phrases and slow way of living. The weather in Cornwall is very up and down! Beautiful hot sunshine and heavy rain can happen in the space of a few minutes! We moved to Cornwall 4 years ago from London and it is been the best move we’ve ever made. I am confident anyone will love it here too.

Help
I am looking for someone who is passionate about childcare. Someone who has patience if Willow cry’s. I do not let her cry herself to sleep, I use comfort to soothe her. The most important thing I am looking for in an Au Pair is someone to love Willow as much as I do. Someone who has experience with baby’s. She loves dancing and singing and being outside. I would love Willow to learn another language too! I am looking for an easy going bubbly personality, someone who I can be friends with. I am 27 year old, female. I am looking for a female around a similar age.

I love learning. Interested in learning French, Italian or Spanish! Open to other languages also! I learnt a little bit of polish.
Accommodation
We live in a 3 bedroom apartment above our family pub. Overlooking the sea in Cornwall. You will have your own bedroom and en-suite, with a whole window of sea view. I will be providing food for Willow and an Au Pair. I am looking for someone who is able to cook (I love to cook, so it would be shared cooking) and perhaps introduce us to authentic meals they know and love. There is a chef downstairs, who can on occasion, can make meals for all of us.
What else ...
On your days off there is so much to do here in Cornwall. If you love nature, this is your place. Lots of beautiful walks, sea swims, learn how to surf, yoga classes… I am happy to get an Au Pair insured on my car so if I don’t need it, they can take my car out for the day. If not, there is a bus stop a 15 minute walk away from our home. I expect someone living in my house to respect the property, have kindness and common sense. Someone who isn’t afraid to step in and help. Someone who will fit in as part of the family!
