Family's Message to Au Pairs

Dear Au Pair, My husband and I are originally from India. He is from Bengal and I am from Karnataka. We both came to USA when we were children and we are both bi-langual ourselves. Although we eat all types of cuisines and meat, we generally tend to cook variety of asian inspired foods at home. We never cook red meat at home but we are comfortable eating it. I like to cook and prepare meals and I have my own food blog. Both my husband and I are in our mid-thirties and we like to live an active lifestyle. We love to go walking, running, strolling and hiking the beautiful trails of Seattle as well as take our children to local scenic activities over the weekend. We would love an aupair who enjoys similar active and outdoor lifestyle and share the passion with our kids. We are very family oriented and close to our families. I have a huge extended family here in Seattle and you will most likely meet the childrens grandparents and aunts and uncles frequently. We have lots of friends with twins and a great support network. I don't think you can be lonely with our family. We live in a great neighborhood just 10 minutes north of downtown Seattle. We have a bus stop just 2 minutes away for you to meet your friends on the weekend. We have lots of computers at home for you to use to connect to your friends and family back home. We could even get you a cell for local use if needed. Our goal with the au pair experience is to share our house , children and lifestyle with the au pair and hopefully you want to do the same and take care of our children. Looking forward to meeting you!
