Au Pair Extraordinaire Families

The Schindler Family

We are both very hands-on parents with our kids and our home. Both of us prepare meals, do the dishes, give the kids baths, change the baby’s diapers; drive the kids to their activities etc. We feel it’s very important for children to have two parents who are ‘present’ and involved in their daily lives. We eat dinner together most nights of the week and make a big deal out of celebrating big and little holidays. We take a lot of photos and like to appreciate the moment as well as plan for the future. We are an active family and believe in exercising our minds and our bodies and we try to limit television and computer time. Our girls are involved in sports, arts, dance and music. We do take a few family trips each year, the longest being a one to two week trip during the summer. We would hope our au pair comes with us on this trip as it’s a very special and unique place.

We’re very fortunate to live in a spacious new home and in a beautiful and friendly neighborhood. Our au pair will live in a lovely private bedroom and bathroom on the lower level of the house. We live just a few minutes from the beach and are about 10 minutes from the train station.

Through Au Pair in America we hope to locate a warm and caring au pair with an upbeat and positive attitude, maturity, good judgement and a willingness to help out. The cross-cultural exchange and education is an integral benefit in our minds. We feel it will be a very positive experience for our children to get to know someone from another country and culture.

We look forward to embarking on this adventure with you!
