Hosting an au pair will be a major change for Keston and I as well as for the person who will be joining our home. I am fully committed and will do all that I can to make sure this is a fantastic experience for all of us. I will always treat the person who joins us as family--with respect, honestly and open communication and ask the same in return. As we have our initial meetings, I want to be as transparent as possible; open and honest about us and our expectations to avoid any surprises. Keston is of course my priority but I want to ensure you have an amazing experience as well. We may not be the most traditional family, but we are a family full of love, family and respect for each other. I am raising Keston to have respect for others, to be polite, that school work comes before everything. And want an au pair who can reinforce these values. We are an active family and our house is full of energy--music is often played (Keston loves a dance parties), we love to host family and friends at our house. We go to restaurants, take weekend trips and vacations and do new activities often and would love to share all of this with the au pair. We currently live in Brooklyn, New York but will be moving to Valley Stream, NY in Long Island before the au pair's arrival. Valley Stream is a beautiful suburb of NYC. It is a quiet community of well kept houses and neighborhoods, but 10-15 min away from major stores, restaurants and malls and a 30 min train ride to Midtown Manhattan. The home will include a private bedroom and bathroom for the au pair's use.
