Busy Moms choose au pairs - for flexible childcare
More and more local families host a foreign au pair, because they value the convenience and flexbility of live-in childcare.
The au pairs are from Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia. All English-speaking, screened, trained and insured. Many are college-educated and qualify to care for infants or children with special needs.
An au pair can spend a year in the USA, on a J-1 visa (as designated by the US Department of State). She can care for children up to 45 hours a week and do light housekeeping – in exchange for room, board and a small stipend paid by the family.
Cultural Care is one of the largest and most respected au pair agencies in the USA. It placed more than 70,000 au pairs with American families in the last 20 years.
If you think this childcare option may work for you, please contact me, and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
As a local program coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair, I can help you get started!
