Family's Message to Au Pairs

Dear Au Pair, We are a Seattle-native couple with a 21 month old boy and another boy due in December 2008. My husband's ethnicity is French-Canadian/Eastern European and I am Japanese however we were both born here in the United States. We live on Beacon Hill - in the center of the city of Seattle and only 10 minutes from downtown Seattle and many exciting attractions like shopping, professional baseball and football stadiums, museums, parks and swimming lakes. Skiing in the winter is only a 45 minute drive to the mountains and there are many places to hike and camp in the summer. We are looking for a fun-loving, helpful, responsible and compassionate live-in au pair starting in November 2008 to provide loving care to our 2-year old boy Sam and his little baby brother. Infant care experience is definitely a must as well as a driver's license and clean driving record. Your commitment to stay would need to be 12 months and we will consider an additional 12 months at the end of the term. We have a large home and can provide a good-sized living space in the basement-level including a private full-bathroom and ample closet space. There is enough room to have your own living area downstairs for privacy and a separate entry. We will also provide you the standard weekly au pair stipend as determined by your experience. Our family loves to laugh, sing and play. We have a large extended loving family and many friends with children of their own. If you are outgoing, fun, responsible and compassionate and would like to help care for our two boys in the beautiful city of Seattle, please consider us as your host family!
