We’re the Murphy family – Mark, Barbara and our beautiful girls, Hannah who is almost 5 years and Olivia who is 10 months. We're both 40 years old and have been married 7 years. I'm currently on maternity leave but return to work in March - we're in corporate roles so have always had Au Pairs to care for our children and help keep our household running smoothly. Now with baby Olivia as well we're looking for someone special to look after our precious girls – someone outgoing, who likes to have fun, is kind and passionate about children, who will easily fit into our family. We live in Aotea which is 15 minutes drive from Wellington. We work Monday to Friday which makes for a busy week so on weekends we like to relax, have family time, see friends and take Hannah and Olivia on outings. We enjoy entertaining, travelling and good weather! If you enjoy these things too, are a people-person who easily makes friends and wants to spend a bit more time in NZ then we would love to hear from you.

Hi, we are the Stevens family from Tauranga. We live in the Tauranga suburb of Bethlehem and have three delightful and busy children, daughters Madison (4), Harper (3) and Brooklyn (16 months). Madison loves anything crafty, creative play and getting to the playground! She has a caring personality and can be quiet in new situations. Harper loves playing with her dolls and playing with her big sister. She can also be quiet around new situations but once she is settled she gets involved in anything. Brooklyn is on the verge of walking at the moment and she loves watching her sisters play. The older two play together nicely 90% of the time, and can annoy each other the other 10%! Mike is a project manager and when he's not working, playing social sports or playing with the children, he likes to socialise with friends. Vanessa is an analyst and works part time giving her the opportunity to play with kids while trying to fit in fitness and friends.

The Kagan Family ( Auckland )

Location – Auckland
Preferred Start Date – 7/05/2018
Programme – Au Pair 123
Term – 12 months
Number of Children – 1
The Kagans are BIG on family! Our little family is extremely tight-knit and the love we all share is infectious and almost tangible. Our aim is to always have our home filled with love, light and laughter. We are not religious, but rather spiritual. We believe in the greater good and that being kind to people is extremely important. We are in our mid 30’s (although Lis will tell you Stu is in his LATE 30’s) and have an absolute zest for life. We immigrated to NZ at the end of 2015 from South Africa, in order to give Sammy the best opportunities in life. We have slowly but surely found our feet and now we can't imagine calling anywhere but NZ home. The following adjectives would best describe the Kagans: Kind; Honest; Fun; Family-orientated; Sporty; Sociable. *Sammy absolutely loves joining his hands in the middle of a circle with mamma and dada and shouting “GOOOOO KAGANS!!”
