| We are kind and light-hearted professionals with busy lives and two adorable children. Cameron, our oldest, is 11. He is funny, bright, affectionate, and he has a good heart. He is in sixth grade. As we are just back from 2 years in Europe he is now working very hard at catching up on the regular curriculum. Later, we expect that he will have quite a few afternoon activities. Kaelan is almost five years old and goes to school all day – although he catches colds easily. He is happy and mischievous. We hope he grows up as well as his older brother!
Our family is quite laid back and relaxed. We are Californians (Michel is originally French), but recently relocated to Wisconsin after spending 2 years in Europe. We have a moderate social life, and mostly enjoy spending time together, and with some close friends. We tend to schedule our activities spontaneously and on short notice, rather than planning ahead months in advance. We all enjoy reading most of all, and our life at home is relaxed and quiet. We are both good cooks, and enjoy exposure to many foreign foods and cultures.
We live in a large and comfortable house near the village of Merton, in the middle of 5 acres of forest bordering the Merton mill pond. Your room is furnished with antique French furniture, with a view over the garden. You share a bathroom with Cameron. We have had live-in childcare with us ever since Cameron was a few weeks old, so we are very comfortable with having someone else in the house and in the family, and we are easy housemates. We are looking for a friend and a member of the family, easy to live with, with a strong sense of responsibility, and whose privacy standards are comparable to ours.
Do check our in-depth interview for more information! We also have a very detailed position description that we will email you once we are in touch with each other.
We know how difficult it can be to uproot yourself to a new home. We will be your friends, and we will do our best to help you feel welcome and comfortable. We hope that you will soon come to feel that this is your home too:-)
Best - Mary Pat, Michel, Cameron and Kaelan |
