You can not beat the flexibility of the Au Pair program. My au pairs have been so great that my friends want to steal them and take them home!

 

- Catherine Dunsby, host parent Connecticut

I am a woman who just landed a big promotion. I knew I would need flexible childcare when I took the job and also, as a first-generation American, I value cultural exchanges. I want my children to have a broad sense of the world. I would not be able to work without my au pair. My husband and I both have demanding jobs and live far away from family. Having an au pair has allowed me to continue to lead my staff through a challenging time without having to worry about my childcare.

 

— Host Family from Holliston, MA

We are a military family with a toddler, another baby on the way, and coping with parental absences due to active duty demands. If we did not have an au pair, I would not be able to continue working. The only reason we are able to maintain any semblance of normalcy is because we have an au pair.
