I have decided to find an Au pair because I need help looking after my child. I am looking for an Au pair to be a big sister or brother to my child and to

become a member of our family.

My name is Mr. Donald S. Thrower and I am 49 years old and i am a single dad i lost my wife last year to an auto crash.

I live in a three bedroom house in 282 Main Street, Hayden AL and have a son , Travis is getting to 2yrs and half years and he is a lovely kid.

My kids likes to go to the parks once a week.

I will require you to take care of my son for about 25hrs a week. I will be paying you $390 - $400 monthly while you will have weekends free and 1 will pay you $175

per week pocket money which we will give to you every Friday.

my residence is very open and near the city and there are other au pairs close by. There is also a good language school and i will encourage you to go for

lessons there to learn English if you wish to. In the area there is one pub full of young people, a shop/post office and a hall where people get together to

have parties. There is also a bus stop outside our house with direct access into the city center.

You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom either live in or live out fully furnished , plus desk phone and computer system with internet access.

I do not have any pets and I do not smoke. I am a single Father but i have a girlfriend who is coming to join me soon and we live happily.

I need an Au pair to start with us soon and stay until at least 6 months or more. We will need you to drive our second car if you can and I shall arrange

some driving lessons for you when you arrive. You may use this car for taking the children to school, going to your English classes and for your private use.

Do tell us when you will be free to start up duties with us.And do send your Pictures for perusal and also your resume.

I am a fun young family looking for a kind hearted fun Au pair to mix in with our family.
