Welcome Letter to the Au Pair

Hello! My name is Daphne, and I have an open position for an Au Pair with our family.
I'm a solo mom of a sweet, intelligent, playful boy of 15 months named Zander.

We live in a small town called Grass Valley in California.
The location is in a historical town, in a mountain and forest environment.
You can walk from the house to cafes, grocery stores, and hiking trails.

It is a unique environment as a community property of artists and creative people.
Seven adults live on the land in three different homes.
We live in the main house.
In addition to my son and I, we share the main house with two other adult friends and a 2-year-old boy.
