Au Pair/Baltimore

We are the Roberts family and we live in Baltimore.This is now our fourth year with Au Pair in America and we have 3 children, aged 7, 5 and 3 years.We really like the idea of having a caregiver who is part of the family and the flexibility that the au pair's schedule provides.We keep to the same schedule as much as possible so that the au pair can plan for its studies and social life!Our house is within walking distance of theatres, restaurants and shops.Our au pairs can easily get to all of the sights, including the museums, bike trails, zoo, and memorials. Every year the schedule changes as the kids grow older.Now all of the girls are in school, the au pair picks them up from school, takes them to out of school activities / lessons, and helps them with homework.In the summer everything changes again - this year, our au pair did a lot of special trips with the girls, to the zoo, museums, and a local butterfly garden. Now that our kids are bigger the au pair is mostly responsible for keeping them company and helping them find interesting things to do.Our current au pair loves to play cards, go swimming, do art projects, and play her guitar with the kids.She also does their laundry and keeps the play area tidy.When we choose an au pair we look for someone who is responsible, fun and relaxed.We also want someone who understands that this is a job in addition to being a great opportunity to see the USA.We always try to find someone who is a good driver, and who will not be too homesick!As a family we like to include the au pair in dinners, going out, or whatever we are doing.I travel on business sometimes, and I try to take the au pair on at least one trip of her choice while she is here.We have taken au pairs to the Grand Canyon, Disneyland and Las Vegas.All of the au pairs like to spend a lot of time on the Internet and many of them communicate with their friends back home using video instant messaging.They can also listen to the radio from their own countries!Our three successful au pairs have been from Russia, Estonia and Romania.They have all loved the children and have stayed on with us until the last possible moment.All of them have taught us a few words of their language and interesting things about their country.
