Au Pair/Boston

Come live with us in Boston!We actually live about 15 minutes (by car, 30 minutes by subway) from the city, in a suburb called Newtown.We moved into a beautiful Victorian house in two years ago when we needed a little extra room for the twins who were on their way.My name is Palmer and my husband's name is Daniel.We have three darling girls and a newborn boy: Willa is almost 5, Daphne and McLane are 3 1/2, and Steve is 2 month.Daphne and McLane are identical twins but were actually born on different days -- one on the 15th of January and the other on the 16th.Willa is quite a character - full of curiosity and laughter.The twins are also very good natured and playful.All three play very well together, but are also happy doing their own thing.The baby is 4 months now and is full of smiles.He loves to gurgle and bang a rattle.Every week he changes a little and learns something new, so it's an exciting time.Daniel and I both work full time (for different companies).He's a Vice President of Sales and I'm a Vice President/General Manager in my family's business.Daniel's job will require him to travel more and more so he will probably be away two nights a week.I rarely travel for business, but usually take a class one night a week.When we are not working, we love to take walks with our kids - there is a great playground on a river close to the house.In general, we're a pretty active family.Daniel and I love sports - tennis, golf, skiing, biking etc.and love to be outdoors.Before we had children, we also traveled quite a lot - mostly in Europe, though we also have been to New Zealand and Australia.From our traveling experiences, we have come to appreciate and be interested in different cultures which is why the au pair program is so appealing to us.Our first au pair, Rocio, was from Ecuador and taught Willa many words in Spanish.Our second au pair was from Thailand and taught the girls how to say thank you in Thai while pressing her hands together.She also has taught us a lot about Thai cooking and culture.Our last two au pairs have been from German.Both were patient and warm and taught the children many new skills.Perhaps you can teach us something new!We hope you will like not only our family, but also the wonderful area we live in.Boston is a great city and from here, you can explore New England to the North and New York City to the South.In addition, there are many au pairs in the area so you will have the opportunity to make friends.Though we lead busy lives, we are pretty easy going.We keep a tidy house, appreciate humor, honesty and, of course, a lot of enthusiasm for our children!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.
