Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
We hope to have a warm relationship which also respects your privacy. The au pair relationship is about balancing family warmth with professional respect.
We live in Halle, a medium-sized city (250,000 people) with an economy based around a university, airport, and the chemical industry. The cityhas beautiful architecture and a large university. The Halle/Leipzig region has many students and artists. Halle has relatively good weather which is dry in the summer and not too cold in the winter. People here are more patient than in the big tourist centres. Halle is small enough to be walkable but it's also big enough that you rarely need to leave. We both grew up in much larger cities and feel comfortable here.

As we have small children, we want an au pair who has some experience with small children.

Dad (Thomas) is an American who works at a chemical company. He speaks English as his first language and with the children, and German well. His job is intensive and requires travel. Mom and Dad speak English with each other. We are searching for an au pair who will enjoy and feel comfortable in this environment. We have both lived outside of our home countries and we know well how challenging it is. We are married and have been living in Europe for the last ten years; we are permanent residents of Germany, and have travelled extensively.Mom's hobbies: classical music, cooking, going for walks

Accommodation
Across the street from our home is the Stadtpark, which has space for basketball, beach volleyball, a small soccer field, and a large playground. In addition, we are a 10 minute bike or tram ride to the river, which has a large park. A bicycle is available for your use.
We live in the historic city center of Halle and you can reach everything in the town by walking or biking. If you want to visit somewhere larger, we are walking distance to the train station with trains to Leipzig in 23 minutes and Berlin in 75 minutes. Leipzig is hot: "cooler than Berlin and trendier than Munich". We have a family car, but driving won't be necessary. Language schools are available in Halle or Leipzig.
