Cultural Care Au Pair - Margit Vollmar

Hosting an au pair is a unique and extraordinary childcare solution that offers countless benefits for host families (and au pairs!). Check out a few of the reasons why our host families choose the au pair program.
-Flexible and reliable childcare
An au pair is a form of childcare you can trust like family. When your family hosts an au pair, you receive extra support from someone who lives in your home, gets to know your family routines, and forms a loving relationship with your children. This can not only make family life easier but also more enjoyable.
-Work-life balance
Juggling your career and your family can be exhausting—especially when you have little ones running around! An au pair can make things easier by helping with meal prep, before- and after-school transportation and even child-related chores around the house. Whether you need childcare on a typical 9-5 schedule, morning and evening care, or a schedule that changes week to week, au pairs can work up to 45 hours per week and up to 10 hours per day on a schedule you decide.
-Cultural exchange
There’s no better way to foster a sense of cultural curiosity in your children than by hosting an au pair! Your au pair will introduce your family to the recipes, language, traditions and customs from their home country and in exchange, you’ll help your au pair experience the American way of life.
