For flexible childcare, busy professionals choose au pairs

They come from Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia. All English-speaking, screened, trained and insured! Many are college-educated!

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 take care of your children  (for up to 45 hours a week) and do light housekeeping – in exchange for room, board and a small stipend paid by the family. The cost is about $355 a week per family (not per child).

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 send me an email.

As a local program coordinator Cultural Care Au Pair, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. And, if interested, I can help you get started!
