Love living here (even though I am only the au pair) but I am happy to live here and not somewhere else.

I really like the summer but our last winter was hard to deal with since we had a lot of snow and even broke the record with 108.6 inches. SO very extreme especially since I am from Germany and we never had that much snow.

My point of view is probalby for students or kids that are in school. They just look for a job so they have a little money but their jobs are usually not what they want to do in their future.

I live in a fortunate neighborhood in terms of public service. I have not noticed anything that needs improvement in that regard.
