[quote=Anonymous]We thought about it for more than a year before starting our search. We talked to a lot of host parents, followed this board a bit, etc. I wanted to get a sense of what I was getting in to. I'm not one to offer bonuses before knowing what kind of candidate you are getting, but... Maybe a few sweeteners would be worth it. Would they have a car to use? Just in the local area or could they drive an hour or two away?; Would you provide a phone?; Just two weeks vacation or possibly more?; are you the kind of family to do a lot of cultural activities so they will other types of fulfillment?; are you near any colleges with educational opportunities? Have you reached out to any of the agencies? Sometimes there are small clusters in some of the suburban areas. It might be worth asking if you could speak to a couple local leaders (CC calls them LCC's). They might be able to tell you if there are other families nearby. A good cluster helps. [/quote]
