About Our Family:
We are a loving, Christian household living in the beautiful suburbs of Chicago. Our home is full of warmth, faith, and laughter, and we are excited to welcome someone into our lives who shares our love for children, kindness, and connection. We are a two-parent family, deeply devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ, and our faith is at the heart of how we live each day. We also love cooking gourmet meals together, exploring new places through travel, and spending quality time with our extended family. We currently have a bright and joyful 3-year-old son who brings so much energy and happiness into our home. We are also expecting another child this June—a precious baby who will be born with special needs. While we don’t yet know all that this journey will entail, we are preparing our hearts and home with prayer, love, and support, and we are looking for an au pair who can be part of that support system. We both work during the day, so we are looking for someone who is reliable, nurturing, patient, and excited to help care for both of our children. Someone who is flexible and open-minded, with a servant’s heart and a joyful spirit, will thrive in our home. If you are someone who values faith, family, and compassion, we would love to hear from you.
