AuPairCare Expands in Los Gatos with the Addition of Director Allison Vitug!

AuPairCare, www.aupaircare.com, a leading au pair agency providing affordable live-in childcare services to American families, today announced its expansion in Los Gatos, due to a high demand for au pairs in the area. Allison Vitug is the new Area Director for AuPairCare in Los Gatos, and is responsible for matching international au pairs with local host families, as well as overseeing the host family and au pair relationship.

Allison grew up in Los Gatos and knows the community very well. “I’m excited to see the positive impact the international au pairs are going to have on children in our community,” said Allison. “Residents of Los Gatos will start to see the au pairs volunteering around town, benefiting our community in addition to our children.”

California parents are especially interested in raising bilingual and culturally aware children, which is one reason why AuPairCare chose to expand their services to the area. AuPairCare’s standard program offers American families a year-long experience of up to 45 hours of childcare per week. AuPairCare also offers an infant specialized program, for families with infants, and an extension program for families who wish to continue the program past the initial 12 months. The hourly cost of an au pair from AuPairCare is approximately $7.50 per hour, considerably lower than the cost of baby sitters, nannies, day-care centers and camps. AuPairCare’s au pairs are between 18 and 26 years old, have extensive childcare experience, speak conversational English, and come from over 40 different countries. 

 “Our area directors are the local bridge that helps AuPairCare connect with our host families and communities,” said Heidi Woehl, vice president, AuPairCare. “Our online matching system allows families to find the perfect au pair to fit their family’s needs by searching for specific language skills, child care qualifications, educational background, driving experience, hobbies, and more.”
