As moms ourselves, we are uniquely aware of just how hard it is to find reliable and affordable child care today. Nannies are costly, difficult to match schedules, and hard to find and keep. Daycare waitlists are long, and enrolling multiple children in child care is nearly impossible to afford. And what happens when the kids are inevitably sick but you still need to work? We’ve found a child care alternative that makes all of this stress a thing of the past.
We’d like to introduce you to Au Pair in America.
Au Pair in America provides flexible, dependable child care that enriches families through cultural exchange! When you host an au pair with Au Pair in America, your children receive care from someone who feels like a part of your family and who helps like family, too. Here are four reasons we think Au Pair in America is an ideal child care option for busy families like yours!
Affordability
When you host an au pair in your home, you pay one rate, no matter how many children you have! This is particularly advantageous for families who would need to pay multiple daycare tuition payments. Your au pair is available to care for your children in the comfort of your home up to 10 hours per day and up to 45 hours per week at a fraction of the cost of other child care options.
Flexibility
Life throws constant curveballs. Hosting an au pair allows for you to dodge them! The stress of sick days, days off from school, and the always-changing summer schedule is a thing of the past when you have an extra set of hands at home to calm the chaos.
Cultural Exchange
Au Pair in America recruits au pairs from nearly 60 countries, providing an enriching cultural exchange experience to each family who hosts an au pair. Children who are cared for by an au pair can benefit from the exposure to another culture, language, and customs!
Peace of Mind
Au Pair in America carefully screens all au pair candidates to ensure your peace of mind. All Au Pair in America au pairs have at least 200 hours of recent child care experience and must pass a rigorous screening process and background check to be eligible for the program. After arriving to the United States, all au pairs complete a rigorous orientation program which includes American Red Cross training! You can be certain that you are hiring the best of the best when you host an au pair with Au Pair in America.
