Au Pair in America Families

The Murphy Family

The two of us are both bankers and in our mid forties. We have three wonderful girls aged 4 , 7 and 9.  They all have very different personalities and very different schedules, hence the reason for an au pair.  Our 4 year old goes to school 3 days a week and would stay with you for the other two days.  While she is at school, you will have free time.  The University is just minutes away and there are also several Community Colleges in the area.  The Colleges in the area attract many opportunities for cultural events (visiting musicians, art displays etc).  In short, there is plenty to do and see here in terms of education and cultural experiences.

The other two girls go to the same private school which they travel to by bus.  The famous yellow school bus stops outside our house, which is very convenient.  They are both very sporty and take part in ballet, tap, soccer, swimming, baseball and violin.  They take  their sporting gear or instruments with them in the morning.  It is important that you check that they have the correct gear with them.  They usually get home around 4pm….and then it’s time for homework.  We enjoy having meals together and is a nice social activity that we can all take part in and share our stories of the day, so you would join us for meals if you are happy to do so.

Lastly, we would help and encourage our au pair to get to know America and Seattle.  There are many au pairs that live in our area, so meeting new friends should not be a problem.
