Hi, we had au pairs for years until 2014, when my children deemed themselves too old for an au pair. An au pair lives as part of the family, like having a niece or nephew living with you. Their main priority is the children and they work for up to 25 hours per week. Ours typically started around 8am getting the children breakfasted and ready for school, then walked them to school. When my kids were very little the au pair had use of a car to drive them to nursery. Then, apart from stacking and unstacking the dishwasher, ironing or hanging out some laundry, they were free until school pick up time. They then looked after the kids, took them to any activities booked, and cooked supper for them. They were free from the moment we got home at around 6:30. They would also do a bit of baby sitting for us. if you are wondering what they did during the day; that varied. A few went to language classes, some got jobs (cleaning, baby sitting , bar work). We paid them ?75 per week plus holiday pay and extra pay for extra work = eg looking after the children for extra hours during school holidays or cleaning when our cleaner was off. The au pair lived in in the loft conversion (so slightly separate) with a large room, own bathroom and TV/dvd and laptop, so they could be quite self-sufficient and private when they wanted to be. But we also included them in family day trips and occasionally took them on holiday with us. How long they stayed varied from 9 months to 2 years. I hope that gives you an idea of the whole set up.

Full hours will be in your old contract. Someone has posted 35 hours but this does vary. I have had 35, 37.5 and 40 hours in a full time contract. Your employer sets the number of hours expected.

lolz. really ?

crabs in a bucket

it was real enough for us to fight over and to allow quarter of a million Belgian refugees to come and live here.

The social contract WRT our mutant strain of democracy is a convenient myth to justify systemic inequality

"The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear" Gramsci

it seem like the interpretation of the much lauded will of the people is a bit flexible really.

laughable.

Deserving of what ?

The banding tests put children into innate ability bands. If awarded a music or sports scholarship, these become separate banding pots - no guaranteed place. Maths and art scholarships are applied for once a place has been offered. The admissions people take equal numbers from each banding pot plus a random selection from the scholarship pots (if oversubscribed). If the people selected on first random offers do not accept the places, then further random selections will be made from the relevant pots. It is a complicated system, but being a lottery it is the fairest there is. Just apply, sit the banding and scholarship tests and wait and see. If your child is not awarded a place initially, stay on the waiting list as it does move quite fast, right up through the holidays and even into the first term. Good luck!

Why cant we have nice things ?

anywhere in the 'hood showing or commemorating this offensive event will be added to the household blacklist

its a pretty ugly house though. Shame, they could have created something with a bit of substance to it. hey ho.

There is no shortage of tree cover in this country, the concern is that they are doing in on such a mammoth scale at such a critical time for the local ecosystem

ban all knives, enforce the mandatory use of sporks or grapefruit spoons under threat of gaol for life for non compliance. WITH HARD LABOUR LIKE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP etc

hedge your Poles

Different issue. I posted to clarify the situation with the ID card furore.
