Stop paying private pre-school today!

An au pair can help make morning routines smoother for the whole house, & you don’t have to dress & drag the little one out the door every day anymore! While you’re at work, your au pair can drive older kids to/from school, help your little one individually with pre-reading activities, counting, sharing, manners, & explore the neighborhood or community parks and museums.

After school, she can help with light meal preparation/snack for the kids, help with homework, or do kids’ laundry while you fix dinner! A live-in au pair really becomes a big sister & part of the family. Remember, unlike your preschool, your au pair is one price for all your children; that’s up to 45 hours of flexible childcare (not more than 10 hours per day) for under $345 per week. We do have part time options and several payment plans available too.
