Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My sister, brother and I are seeking help for our 95 year old mom, Magdalena, who lives alone in our family home in the Los Angeles suburb known as Rancho Palos Verdes. My wife Christy and I live in Florida, my brother Rudi and his family in Georgia and our sister Regina and family in San Pedro about 20 miles away.

Magdalena is remarkably independent and mentally very fit. She speaks German, but also excellent English. Her passion is writing and history. She prepares meals, takes care of her hygiene and is still in her garden every day. While my sister takes care of her a few times a week and my brother and I talk to her on the phone and on Zoom, she needs more companionship and some help around the house and garden. She is finding it increasingly difficult to get up and walk long distances, so regular watering and light maintenance is tiring. While she still has her car, she doesn't drive anymore - and relies on Uber/Lyft, and the helpfulness of friends and my sister.

The ideal candidate speaks German or English or both and has an understanding and appreciation of German/Austrian/Hungarian cultures. The opportunity is to live in a beautiful, safe and friendly German/American home; engage in American culture; with access to local transport (public transport is approximately 1km away, a bike can be provided and Uber/Lyft is at the end of the driveway) and have the flexibility to pursue educational, sporting or local travel interests.

As a family we have experience with German speaking au pairs from many years ago who have become lifelong friends. Magdalena also has ties to the Los Angeles German-speaking community, having served for many years as the principal of the German American School Association in Torrance, California. Many of the teachers and their families still live in the area and remain part of her social network.
