Au Pair/Scarsdale, New York.

Dear Au Pair; Greetings from the United States!I know you must be very excited about your upcoming experience in America.Let me tell you a few things about our family. Tiffany is completing the 8th Grade at Scarsdale Middle School, and loves it.She is very smart, very outgoing, and loves to swim, play tennis and play the piano.She also loves to listen to popular music and write stories, and wants to be a journalist when she grows up.We just met with her counselor at school Friday regarding her course selections for high school in September.It is hard to believe time has gone that fast.Peggy is completing the 4th grade.She, like her sister, enjoys piano and tennis.She is quieter than her older sister, but loves to do puzzles, work in workbooks, and play board games. We currently reside in Scarsdale, New York which is 30 minutes outside of New York City.We moved here in June 2005 due to a job change for me - prior to that we lived in Columbus, Ohio for 4 years, Chicago, Illinois for 2 years and Detroit, Michigan for 11 years.Scarsdale is a beautiful community with lots of trees, large homes, great shopping and great restaurants.There is a train that takes you into Manhattan, and we are also very close to Connecticut and New Jersey.Our home is a 5-bedroom house, and the au pairs room is on the first floor with its own bathroom, TV and DVD.But the biggest advantage we have is being so close to Manhattan with all of the theaters, restaurants, musical and dance events, and great shopping.As you can imagine with work, school and lessons, our family life is very busy.We absolutely adore our children and want the very best for them.Education is extremely important, and exposing them to different cultures, places and activities is also important.I love the theater, and am on the board of directors of a well-known theater in Manhattan.We also use the bike paths around our home and the swimming pool and tennis courts at the Scarsdale Recreation Center.We take a few vacations a year, usually someplace warm with a beach or pool and lots of sight seeing activities.Because we have lots of prior experience with au pairs, we know it is important for you to become an integral part of our family life.I want to involve you in all of the planning for the kids homework and activities.It is important that we have open communication at all times, and that we help you make a smooth transition into the local au pair cluster here in Scarsdale/Westchester County.We hope to help you learn a lot about American life, make great friends, and become a cherished part of our family.See you soon.Tillträde: Sommaren -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.
