Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

Dear Au Pair, Our family would like to have nice and friendly big sister to our two girls of ages 6 Emilia and 5 Ellenoora. Our family is happy and lively. We do make quite much noise even if we are only four and we like to spend time together. We would like you to be a happy, out going and social person. It is very important for us that we can trust on each other. And we also want you to enjoy your time in Finland. I (mother of the family) have been an exchange student when I was younger. I had great year and would like you to have great time with us. We live in a nice beautiful city by the largest lake of Finland called Kuopio. We live in a house near to the center (15 min. by walking). We have university in Kuopio and students from other contries. I think our city is big enough to find nice things to do and it would be easy for you to find friends. During the summer the beach is close and during the winter you can easily go skiing. This is an active city. In Finland we speak Finnish but you can get along with English quite well. If you want to see more pictures of our family, I will send them to you. We would like you to speak spanish and english.
