Au Pair/Alexandria, Virginia

Kylel is a very playful boy who likes to help us cook, clean, fix things with tools and sew.We don't watch television or videos, so Kyle has a very active imagination and like most children enjoys a lot of interaction and playing with others.Chad loves playing with his brother and trying to do everything that Kyle does.He giggles a lot, especially when Kyle is running around acting silly.Both boys are very social and like interacting with visitors and guests in our house.We are looking for someone to care for our children like a member of the family would, someone who is warm and loving and likes to hug and cuddle them, play with them, protect them from dangers and hazards, feed them healthy foods, comfort them when they cry, and laugh with them when they giggle.We want them to have a lot of one-on-one interaction: playing, talking, singing, reading books, visiting a park to play, carefully exploring inside and outside.Our home is three levels, with a garage and family room on the first level, living room and dining room and kitchen on tlre second level, and three bedrooms on the top floor, with two separate bathrooms.We have a bedroom for you with a double bed and large closet, as well as a bedside table, chair, a dresser, a couple of lamps, and sometimes a cat hiding under the bed.Across the hallway is a bathroom with toilet, sink, bath and shower that will primarily be for you.Children come first: The safety and well-being of Kyle and Chad is more important than anything else.We want to know what they ate, what they did during the day, how they felt each day, so please make notes of these things.No spanking or other physical punishment may be used for discipline. Because we are so near Washington, there are many cultural activities and social opportunities to enjoy.There is easy access to mass transit- the metro station is about a 20 minute walk or a five minute bus ride.Old Town Alexandria is only a few miles away, and is a popular tourist area with restaurants, shops, art galleries, and more.It's a good walking area, and ends up along the river.Tillträde: Hösten -08 Fri resa och sjukförsäkring ingår (värde 5800:-) om du har en komplett ansökan före den 31 juli 2008.Gäller vid avresa till USA under 2008.Eget boende, betald semester.Studiemedel 500-1000 dollar.Hemreseskydd vid allvarlig familjesituation.4 dagars kurs i NY innan ankomst till familjen.Regelbundna Au Pairmöten i USA.Vi gör regelbundna intervjuer på orter runt om i Sverige.
