We are a separated happy couple with good moral backing, a normal lifestyle and a lovely red haired 5 year old girl Lisa. We live on the little, green, touristic island of Elba/Italy (a beach/sea and nature lover's paradise) and we are looking for an au pair girl to look after and play with Lisa in the spring and summer period while both parents are busy working for the tourist season from July 2010 until the end of September. Part time, 5 hours daily 6 days a week. A little cooking and some light housework and shopping might also be required every now and again. No babysitting at night will be required. We offer independent accomodation in your own detached, fully restored ex-stable next to the father's farmhouse, in an isolated, rural area of the island, in the countryside, up on the hills of the island, with a view of the sea, 5 Km to the nearest seaside town, 5 Km to where the mother lives with Lisa and 5 Km to the nearest beach. We also offer all our food, a friendly and easy going atmosphere, lots of working time will be on the beach, free unlimited use of internet (you can also bring your wi-fi equipped laptop) and the use of a spare 50cc. scooter that you will use daily to go to town to babysit and to go around the island in your free time. We will also offer a salary/pocket money: we will make every effort not to disappoint you and make you feel at home :-) The au pair girl should be mature, reliable, honest and flexible, someone who loves caring and playing with children, with a driving licence (for riding the scooter) and speak at least a little Italian and possibly some German too. She should also be familiar with rural/wild life, happy to live in an isolated area, put up with the inconveniences of rural life, hot climate, bugs, muddy (when it rains) and bumpy country paths and not scared of dogs and insects.
