Host an In Country Au Pair Today

I am sure that you have heard of the Au Pair cultural exchange program and wondering if the program would work for you?

Some Questions to Ask Yourself:

Convenience of live-in help.  How nice would that be?  No rushing in the mornings, less stressful evening routines.  An Au pair can take care of the morning routine, drive the children to school, tidy up the home, prepare dinner and even help with homework or educational play.

Does your 12 year old need a big brother or big sister to hang out with so they are not home alone?  Au pairs function as a big brother/sister and become a part of the parenting team.

Could you use 30 or 45 hours a week of childcare and childcare related activities?  Up to 10 hours a day?

Does all this sound like a luxury?  Not if you have an extra bedroom, and if multiple children, do the math, the program may be a lot less than your current childcare option with live-in convenience.

We have a list of Au pairs who are already living and working in the US.  Let me introduce you to two options for your family:

Valeriia from the Ukraine.  Valeriia is 26 years old, speaks excellent English, as well as Russian, enjoys cooking, sports, yoga, running and crafting.

Valeriia has been described as attentive, responsible and reliable.   Valeriia has a love of children and a strong desire to experience American culture and customs.

Perhaps you want to get your Spanish on… consider 27 year old Angela from Colombia who speaks English well.  Angela is a college graduate, and enjoys, painting, drawing, photography and exercise.

Angela has been described as enthusiastic, trustworthy and observent to name a few.  Angela loves working with children, wants to improve her already good English skills and learn American culture and customs.

Two candidates already living and working in the US.

Finally, welcoming an Au pair into your family is a cultural exchange experience for the entire family, a once in a lifetime experience for the entire family.
