Au Pair to our new baby daughter :) Dallas, Texas. We have a
beautiful new baby daughter due at the end of May and we
need some help with her childcare. We are a loving couple,
live in a beautiful spacious, upscale Dallas, Texas home with
lots of space for an au-pair to have her own privacy. Wife
works at home running a nonprofit which promotes cultural
awareness via humanitarian projects in Latin America and Asia
and so she is interested in learning and practicing Spanish.
Therefore childcare will be shared with wife. We are hoping to
find someone for 6 months to 2 years. We require that you
already have a visa. We already have a housekeeper, so
housekeeping not required. HOWEVER if you can do a bit of
help with cooking at lunchtime, this is preferred. We have
photos of us and our home we can share and are eager to find
someone soon. We are also willing to pay for some education,
such as English lessons. We prefer NOT to go through an
aupair agency (they charge about $6000 and offer hardly
anything in exchange), but to go direct.

We've got a uniquely beautiful living situation. A peaceful
natural setting in huge home, only 10 minute drive from
exciting downtown Dallas. We've got a baby girl on the way
and can use some help caring for her, as the wife works from
home with an NGO. We are eager to meet you! Our loving
home offers all the most modern amenities, and an
ENORMOUS amount of private space just for you. We will pay
modest weekly stipend of about $130, but all your main
expenses paid (even your airfare, possibly, if you're the right
person). Your room is 25 feet by 25 feet - is 2 stories, and has
private bathroom, cable TV, unlimited internet access,
computer, etc. We live on a lake that is a recreational center of
Dallas, meaning its a great place for relaxing, walking, people-
watching, etc. A very peaceful, inviting, loving home. Would
be happy to call you, share photos, etc. Please contact us
soon. Kimberly and Mark. kimberly@globeaware.com
