“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.”

—Host Family from Spring Valley, CA
