Au Pair/Manhattan, New York.

Our names are Suzanne and John.We would like to introduce ourselves to you, and to explain what we are looking for in an au pair.This will be our tenth year having an au pair. We live in an apartment building on the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City (NYC).Our large apartment provides the au pair with its own bedroom, bathroom and telephone.Of course, the au pair has use of all the shared household family amenities such as the kitchen, computer with Internet and books.. The building has a playroom for the children and a gym for the adults.It is on a quiet side street next to Riverside Park, which has many playgrounds and jogging paths.The subway is three blocks from home, and gives easy access to the rest of NYC with the excitement of Chelsea, Greenwich Village, East Village, SoHo, and theater districts.There are many schools and cultural institutions that offer courses appropriate for au pairs.There are many other families with au pairs in our neighborhood and NYC.Both our children are normal and happy, are used to having au pairs, and have bonded well with them.Linda is in fourth grade.She loves to be active, running and climbing outdoors, and swimming; but also to play games, draw pictures, do crafts projects, play piano, and to read voraciously.She especially loves animals and nature, natural history and learning about other cultures.She is bright, talkative and inquisitive, and plays well with friends of all ages.She has bonded well with all of her au pairs.Dan attends nursery school 5-days per week.He is a very jolly, social, talkative and active boy, but also will sit and pay attention for long stories and art activities.We want our home to reflect an intellectual orientation, a love for family and all people, a spirit of takin-joy in life, and a healthy lifestyle (no smoking or drugs, alcohol in moderation, organic natural foods).We hope that our children will grow up to be intellectually curious, tolerant, self-confident, empathetic, multi-culturally minded and curious, and respectful of the environment and of all people.We look for these same qualities in an au pair.In return, we believe that we can offer a congenial home, a great city to live in and explore, and plenty of possible friendships with au pairs and other young people.Tillträde: Hösten -07 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.
