Should i extend my stay????

So recently i have been doing a lot of thinking and have decided that i want to stay in the USA for another 9 or 12 months...i have fallen in love with NYC and would happily live here in the future. But i know that not everything i want is going to happen. In my ideal world i was continue to work for the Gold family that i am working for now, as i know the children, and the area in which i live, and i no the work routine, and plus i don't work a full 45 hours and they give me a lot of vacation time to travel the States. I am happy here.

However the girls that i look after this year are going to a summer camp for 2 months instaid of one this year as they are getting older and it is what they want to do for there summer, and if they employed me for a further 9 or 12 months more they would have to pay me for the two months that i would have off which wouldn't make sense to them as they could just get a new Aupair after the summer is over, that way they wouldn't loose out on 1,600 dollars.

So i need to talk further with my host parents (which is a challenge in its self as they are always so busy) and ask whither they would actually like me to stay. And if they do maybe we could come to an arrangement where maybe i get paid for one month instaid of two in the summer??

As i would love to stay exactly were i am and travel to all other states from here.

My only other option is that i look for another host family in NY, which is not a 100 per cent guarantee as there may be no other families at that time looking for an Aupair through my agency. Or last resort would be that i could be re-match with another family in the states somewhere..maybe the west coast florida..California Mmmmmmmmm that sounds nice but would any other state now compare to this amazing city that has been my home for the past year?? I have my heart set on staying here.

Also One of my close friends jill who is also an Aupair would like to also move to NY be near to me and in the city, as now she lives in rural Virginia and it is not for her. We are a 7 hour journey apart and although we take it it turns to travel to each other twice every month the journey is way to long as we can only ever stay with each other 4 2 days due to work.

So really we have it all planned in our minds that me jill and Donelle another close friend of ours from south Africa could spend the next 9 months after we complete our first year in the city together. We truly enjoy each others company and we would have a great time.

Sooo what will it be..i will soon see...When my host parents get 5 minutes off work and can put down their blackberry's and have a conversation with me about extension.....
