Dear Prospective Au Pair,

I hope you are excited to embark on your cultural exchange to the United States! You are a courageous and adventurous person for wanting to leave your home country for a long time to learn about other cultures. We hope that you would find a fun and comfortable place if you choose to stay with us.

We decided we wanted to host an Au Pair because we had a mutual friend in college who was an Au Pair from Hungary. She had a very positive experience, and we want to provide the same for our Au Pair. We are excited to show you around our home city of Philadelphia!

Philadelphia is an amazing city with lots of history and culture to experience. Philly (as we call it locally) was the original capital of the U.S. and has many beautiful historic areas and sights, such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and Elfreth's Alley. There are also great museums and tourist attractions such as the Museum of Art, The Barnes, The Franklin Institute, and the Zoo (The oldest zoo in the U.S.). Additionally, Philly is well known as a city with great food and drink, with many internationally recognized restaurants.

We are a casual and relaxed family of three. My husband Josh, myself (Holly), and our son George live in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia with our 2 friendly cats, James and Watson. Josh and I both work in technology careers. In our free time, we enjoy playing board games and video games, going to restaurants, visiting the Art Museum, and entertaining our friends at our house. On Sundays, we attend a reformed Presbyterian church.

We can't wait to meet you. Good luck as you launch your adventure to the United States!
