The experience

We seek a kind and gentle individual, who doesn't necessarily have to be a native English speaker, to join our family as a linguistic and cultural educator/au pair for our twins. We are raising them in a multilingual environment and aim to expose them to as many languages as possible. The boys have a full-time nanny so you won't be alone with them. They are very active children. It's important to note that we're NOT just looking for a babysitter

Program Details

We live in a very pleasant and bright house which is situated in the countryside about 15 km away from the nearest Metro Station in Kyiv. But there are regular buses to the city, and we travel there by car also almost every day, so we can give you a lift.

We have two bikes you can use to go around the village which is nice and quiet. There is a nice local bar with Wifi, and there is a bus that leaves for Kyiv every 20 minutes from the center of the village!
Attention allergy sufferers! We have 2 cats.
We are not vegetarians.

Activities & Shift

Our boys are now 5 years old. They enjoy drawing, playing with Play-Doh and LEGO, swimming, and being outdoors. On weekends we usually take them to the park or playground, often twice a day, and to the swimming pool. We also try to go to the pool most evenings during the week, whenever the boys are feeling well.

They have recently started a preparatory school program (before first grade) and spend their weekdays at school from 8:00 in the morning until 5:00 in the evening.

The boys speak mostly Ukrainian and English, and they also understand Russian and a little bit of French. They understand English 100% when spoken to, but their spoken production still needs support and encouragement.

We look forward to welcoming someone who shares our enthusiasm for fostering a diverse and enriching linguistic environment, and who can help our boys strengthen their English speech development in a fun and engaging way.

Rules

No smoking when you are around the twins, please.
