1. Describe your family and your children's personalities:
Hello! We are the Cooley Family. My name is Heidi and my husband is Duke. We have been married for 2 years and have just welcomed our first child Stella. Both Duke and I work full time during the week. Duke is a geologist and I am a marketing executive. We are very close to our family; Stella's Aunt Whitney lives just 10 minutes away and visits often. Stella's grandparents live in Wyoming and plan to visit monthly.
2. Briefly describe the au pair's responsibilities/typical weekly schedule:
Our ideal au pair must have experience with newborn children and enjoy spending loving educating and nurturing a newborn as they grow throughout their first year. The au pair should be honest responsible active friendly and have a positive attitude. We will need our au pair to work 45 hours a week. The typical schedule will be M-F 8-5. Daily route will be solely focused on caring for Stella throughout the day and will include feeding changing and bonding with her. We are a very neat family and would like our au pair to help keep Stella's room and living spaces tidy in addition to helping with Stella's laundry. We are an active family and would like our au pair to take Stella on a walk at least once a day if the weather is nice. We have great access to public transportation nearby so excellent driving experience is not required; a car will not be provided.
3. What are your families' interests and weekend activities?
We are a very active and social family that loves to spend time with family and friends. We enjoy dining out going to concerts and the theatre and walking to our favorite coffee shop on Saturday morning. In addition we love to spend time up in the mountains when we can. We would love to have an au pair that enjoys socializing. At home we enjoy dinner together each night and love to spend our weekends together as a family. We look forward to inviting an au pair to join as part of our family.
4. Describe your home/community:
