Au Pair/Boston, MA

We are fortunate enough to have adopted our two eldest daughters.We live in Boston and this is our first year as a host family. Boston is a busy metropolitan area with lots of restaurants, bookstores, shops, and activities - we love it here!John and I own a ballroom dance studio, which is within walking distance from the house. We chose to have a live-in au pair because my husband has been complaining for a long time that we need more help.I couldn't be happier with our decision, and wish we'd done it earlier.Our au pair usually starts at 1pm and works until about 7:30pm.I will then read to the kids and get them dressed.Our nanny comes at 10am to 2pm to give me a hand with the kids until our au pair starts.Usually, we all go to the park, library, bookstores, mall, post office, grocery store, etc, with the children.Our au pair helps prepare dinner and feed the kids.She also helps at bath time, runs errands for the kids and generally keeps me sane. The qualities we looked for when choosing our au pair was a smile in the pictures and someone who seemed to have a positive attitude.When our au pair arrived, I realized I really wanted someone to speak to my children a lot.She rose to the challenge!I also need someone who can work with me as I plan on being home with the children almost all of the time.I need someone level-headed, with a good sense of humour who can support me with the children's discipline.We look for someone who is going to be comfortable hanging out with us - going places, doing things and who will treat the kids well. As a host family we can offer our au pair the opportunity to learn via trips and school.We have a good family life and we're a fun family with a sense of humor, and the area is a great area to explore!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.ERBJUDANDET FÖRLÄNGT TILL DEN 18 AUGUSTI 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.
