I have au paired in Australia for children ages 5-7 where I would do the school drop off and pick up where some days taking them to after school activities. I would help out with the morning and night routine which would include helping the kids get ready for school, helping with homework, bathing them and putting them to bed. I would sometimes cook dinner and do some housework, helping the family keep on top of household jobs. I would occasionally look after the kids on the weekends if I was needed.
