"Adding an au pair to our family transformed our family experience. Not only does it allow my husband and I to more fully engage in our careers during the workday (and travel), it has brought a cultural learning and exposure to my toddlers in a way I can't replicate through school immersion programs."
Cheriti,Cultural Care host mom in MN
FLEXIBILITY
An au pair can provide up to 45 hours per week of childcare (up to 10 hours per day) on a schedule you decide, including early morning, evening and weekend coverage. Au pairs can also care for your children when they are sick, out from school on snow days and during school vacations. Families with busy schedules love hosting au pairs!
Au pairs provide up to 45 hours of care per week
You can schedule hours according to your needs
Your au pair lives with you as a member of your family
She becomes a trusted and loving caregiver
Children learn about different languages and cultures
They also develop a more global perspective
The program is regulated by the U.S. Department of State
Au pairs arrive with a legal J-1 visa
TRUST
Because an au pair lives with you as a member of your family, your relationship with her develops quickly and mutual trust happens much faster than with a daycare provider or live-out nanny. After an initial period of adjustment, our host parents describe feeling a deep sense of comfort knowing their children are cared for by someone they know and respect.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE
Au pairs come from many countries all over the world and can expose your entire family to their language and culture. Your children will learn words in your au pair’s native tongue and well as songs and games from her home country. Au pairs also help children gain a renewed appreciation for their own environment and a desire to see more of the world.
PEACE OF MIND
Cultural Care Au Pair is a government-regulated program, meaning there are guidelines in place designed to protect both families and au pairs during the exchange year. It also means that au pairs travel to the U.S. on a legal J-1 visa, allowing them to stay in the country (and with your family) for up to two years.

"Our experience has been wonderful. My son is learning from someone new, while we are enjoying having an additional person in the house. We're all making wonderful memories together. I am relaxed knowing my son is well cared for and safe while I'm not home."
