Is this ad on Gumtree a little odd? Can anyone think of a good reason for so much emphasis on what the au pair looks like?
Hi, we are looking for someone who is self -confident and fun to help us run our lovely home, and also possibly assist us in running our fast growing Photo- Business, so if you fancy a change and and are looking for an exciting opportunity and really different fun job read on.
This is Not a Nanny or cleaning job and we already have a cleaner, but an opportunity for someone who is looking for a live-in job where there is real variety and a chance for a long term interesting and rewarding future .
Our last au-pair is still with us but has moved onto working full time in the business.
We are looking for someone who has at least fair English, who is intelligent and presentable and has a good sense of humour, and who is independent and would enjoy becoming part of a very happy and very healthy life-style.
So we need general help, and this is a great job is for someone who is fit, likes looking good, takes a pride in their appearance and if possible has some computer skills which could also be useful.
You will also need to be used to and love dogs, as we have standard poodles, which we walk twice a day, the youngest of which are two black males just 2 years old.
In the photos you see our house and you will have your own lovely room overlooking the garden and your own bathroom.
The other pictures were taken in the parks where we walk the dogs including Ken wood, Hampstead Heath.
