How do I know my child care provider is qualified?

This is one of the most common questions that parents ask when searching for child care… and for good reason!  It’s a parents’ responsibility to make sure that their children are receiving proper care. Every child care option has it’s pros and cons but with Au Pair child care you can be confident that you will have a qualified provider.

The Au Pair Program is overseen by the US Department of State. Only designated agencies, like Go Au Pair, can legally bring Au Pairs into the US.  Go Au Pair is a long standing company with one of the largest Au Pair applicant pools in the industry!  All available Au Pairs have gone through a very extensive application process with interviews, background checks, verification of experience, references, etc.  Every Au Pair must have a lot of documented child care experience.  Plus, we also have Au Pairs that are specifically qualified, with extra experience, to care for infants and toddlers.

In addition to the lengthy application process that Go Au Pair has in place for the Au Pairs, the company also has the Mutual Match System so the family can choose any Au Pair they want and the Au Pair also chooses the family in order to make it a great match.  The goal is to make sure that the match is the best fit for the Host Family and the Au Pair!  Host families are never limited on the number of applicants they can interview.  Emails, phone calls, and Skype interviews are all highly recommended!

Best of luck in your search for a qualified child care provider!
