题目内容
16.M'Kenzie and Derek Tillotson,of Utah,USA,are planning to embark on an epic trip around the world with their three young children,and are looking for a travel nanny(保姆)to help them on their journey.They posted a Facebook video hoping to get a few dozen applications,but ended up with messages from nearly 20,000 people hoping to get the job.The couple runs a family travel blog called‘Five Take Flight'and recently decided to sell their home in Utah and go on an unforgettable adventure around the world.They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.They'll return to their home city for a two weeks over Christmas,before flying to Hawaii,New Zealand,and finally Asia.It sounds like an incredible experience,but it's also going to be pretty tough to manage with three kids,which is why they've decided to take someone to travel with them and lend a hand when necessary.
"You'll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion."The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.
"It's hard to define your exact hours because you will be living with us,but you will have time to yourself every day for sure,and one to two times a week you'll be able to go off on your own."The Tillotsons add that the chosen person will receive a monthly salary of 1200-1500 for their work besides travel expenses and other living costs.However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.
