Au Pair/Needham, Boston.

Hi there!She will be in 3rd grade next year.Some of her favorite activities are reading, playing the piano, taking nature walks, playing with her friends, going to ballet class, and telling jokes. Bill and I both work full time, and Linda's school closes at approximately 2:30.So, our primary need is for someone to pick her up after school and to take her either home or to local activities.We also ask that you take her to school in the morning (at approximately 8:15). Linda will have at least a couple scheduled activities next year - i.e., piano and ballet lessons -and probably one or two after-school/at school classes - i.e., Spanish.She has homework from school almost every day, which we will ask you to prompt her to do.Linda likes getting together with her friends and arranging/driving her to play-dates will be part of your job.She also enjoys going to the playground, taking nature walks, reading (she currently reads two years beyond her grade level), and walking into town for a pastry or ice cream.She will love hearing about your country and your life there - and that, I believe, is our major attraction to the au Pair program.Linda has been fascinated by her school's geography/foreign country lessons, and has enjoyed learning about our last two au Pair's (one from South Africa and one from Germany) backgrounds and lives.We live within a half-mile of the town center, and right next to the town fields and reservoir, so both stores and "green space" are within easy walking distance.Needham is a suburb of Boston, which is a large city and the capital of the state of Massachusetts.You will also have use of a car, and in fact we ask that you be comfortable driving - since Linda's school is about two miles from the house, and her activities will require short, in-town driving.Your room is in a separate addition in the back of the house and is off Linda's playroom, which is a beautiful, sun-lit roam that has large windows overlooking our backyard.There are large desks there for you to do any schoolwork and writing on.Bill and I both have extended family nearby, and we spend time with them and also with friends.On weekends, we enjoy trips into Boston, and going to museums or parks or movies.The only restrictions that we have (aside from, of course, your abiding by laws and au Pair agency regulations) are that you not smoke and that you are not allergic to our cats.Tillträde: Våren -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.
