Au Pair/Detroit.

We are a family of four children aged 9-13 and my husband and myself.We have been happily married for 19 years and have hosted au pairs for 15 years.Our oldest two children are boy/ girl twins who will be 13 this summer.They are very kind and conscientious young adults who also now baby-sit their younger siblings.Next is our son, Andy, who turns 12 in April, followed by Lyon who will be 9 in October.The children are all very active socially, in school and in sports.They also attend two different private schools at four different campuses.So, even though I am a stay at home Mom, the children's schedules mean that I need extra help keeping it all straight and driving them everywhere they need to go.The au pair also helps take care of the children's laundry, helps with meal preparations and general errands. We live on a beautiful lake and golf course about 20 miles north of Detroit, so swimming ability is important.There are many diverse opportunities for cultural events, sports, theater, symphony, opera, pop concerts, etc.There are also numerous schools and colleges offering a broad array of educational opportunities.We also have a second home in Telluride, Colorado, which is where we ski and mountain climb.We spend a few weeks there in the summer and again in the winter.It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.We do like to travel and offer opportunities for the au pair to travel with us.Now that the children are older and more self sufficient, we don't need the au pairs help on trips like we did when they were younger.However, we have found that our au pairs usually like to go with us whenever they can.It is important to us that the au pair feel that he/she is a member of the family, and the best way to have a successful year is to openly and honestly communicate with each other.We do provide a car for the au pair's local driving, a lakefront private room and bath, and many opportunities to enrich his/her stay while the au pair is with us.Our current and previous au pair are both from Sweden and I'm sure would be happy to share information about their experience with our family.We look forward to welcoming you into our home and our lives!Tillträde: Hösten -08 Eget boende, betald semester.Studiemedel 500-1000 dollar.Inga kostnader för flyg om du arbetar ett år som au pair.Visum för 13 månader.Försäkring ingår.Hemreseskydd vid allvarlig familjesituation.4 dagars kurs i NY innan ankomst till familjen.Vi gör regelbundna intervjuer på orter runt om i Sverige.
