We are looking for someone who would pick up the girls at lunchtime, bring them home for lunch and take them back to school afterwards, then pick them up again at 4:30 and bring them home or take them to their activities.

The Au pair should help me with the girls routines: bath, meals, but not all the time. We have a cleaner so housework is not expected. (there is a cleaner too at my mother's). We want an English speaking person because we live in a French speaking environment and we want the girls to stay in touch with their British roots.
