“Within a week of her arrival, it felt like she had been a part of our family for years. On a daily basis, she interacts with us during her working hours and during her ‘off-duty’ hours. She often has dinner with us, cooks with us, partakes in dinner conversations and discussions, watches movies with us, accompanies us on family outings on weekends, and travels with us on family vacations.” Read more.

Au Pair Spotlights: Host Family Experiences from Our Blog 

Au pair Emilia from Argentina.

Emilia From Argentina, Hosted in Georgia

“I have never encountered Emi at work when she is not actively engaging with Elliot in creative toddler play. She tends to his nutritional needs, medicates his skin rashes, and always keeps his clothes and toys clean and tidy without being asked. She is intuitive enough to strike the perfect balance between fostering his independence and nurturing and supporting him with healthy attachment, just as we strive to do ourselves.”

Josefin from Sweden, Hosted in Florida

“From the start, Josefin became part of our small family. She spends a lot of her free time with us, going to parks, restaurants, the beach, absorbing American culture, or even just watching television together, and we enjoy her doing so. […] Josefin is so easy to love and I hope that my daughter is as helpful and kind when she grows up.”

Au Pair Priscila from Colombia, Hosted in New York State

“Priscila is our first au pair, and I was so nervous about what we were getting ourselves into when we matched.
