Family's Message to Au Pairs

We are a family of four, me and my husband with our two teenage children, both children are at university. We are of Chinese origin and the children were born in this country. As we speak mainly English at home, it will be a good opportunity for you to improve your command of the language. We live in a 4 bedroom house in South Herts / North London, which is 20 minutes Thameslink train ride into the centre of London King's Cross. Buses and the underground are also convenient. Our town has a lot to offer with shops, pubs, restaurants, cinema, bowling, library, swimming pool, gymnasium, college and are all within 15 – 20 minutes walking distance. There are also larger shopping centres and parks nearby. English classes are available at the college and an adult learning centre. Other subjects are also available. Internet access is available at the library as well as in our home.
