Frustrated with the high cost of childcare? Expecting your first child and beginning to look into childcare for when you return to work? Need child care immediately?
If you are paying for child care for multiple children and do not have flexible hours including evenings and weekends, it is well worth your time to read about the Au Pair Program.
The Au Pair program offers 45 flexible hours of in home childcare a week for $340. Not only is the program affordable with accommodating payment plans, but you have much greater flexibility with your weekly hours.
You set your Au Pair's working hours according to your family's schedule up to 10 hours per day and up to 45 hours per week.
Your Au Pair will provide flexible in-home care and personalized child supervision. Arrange weekly working hours to fit your family's scheduling needs. An Au Pair can assist you with light household duties such as preparing your children's meals and helping them keep their rooms neat. In addition, they can also oversee and enrich your children's playtime with international games, stories, and activities while exposing your family to another language and culture.
At a cost that is less than most other child care options, you could have flexible hours of childcare, full support of our agency, and a cultural and rewarding experience for your whole family.
The Au Pair program is overseen by the U.S. Department of State who has designated agencies to match families with Au Pairs. goAUPAIR currently has over 300 Au Pairs available and you can review their profiles for free. View Available Au Pairs.
