See what our host families and au pairs have to say about Au Pair in America.

“You can’t beat the flexibility of the Au Pair program. My au pairs have been so great that my friends want to steal them and take them home!”
Host Parent

“I love that my children are learning about another culture. I like that I can feel good about the excellent and loving care that my kids receive while I am at work.”
Host Parent

“By inviting a person from another country to join our family, live with us, and learn about our culture, we actually learn so much about ourselves— how our own culture and way of life appear through the lens of someone new.”
Host Parent
Belle Liang, Massachusetts

“The flexibility the program affords us is outstanding. With other child care options, I always felt I was accommodating their schedule instead of my own.”

"I like that I can go off to work knowing that I am leaving my children in their own home, happy and eager to spend the day with someone I trust and like very much."

"I like the opportunity to see American life as an insider, to come to know the traditions and customs, approach to bringing up children, managing the household, learning peculiarities of eveyday language, American cuisine, and just the chance to hear from the children 'I love you'."
