Save $1075 on a year of au pair childcare!

Ever thought of a foreign au pair as an option for childcare?

More and more local families host a foreign au pair, because they value the convenience and fun of international live-in childcare. 

And it's not as expensive as you might think (all costs considered, just about $360 per week, regardless of how many kids are in the family!).

Plus, TODAY, January 14, you can save up to $1,075 if you register and use a new promo code PCNYJ2014. Visit http://culturalcareaupair.com for more details and to register if interested!

You don't have to commit to hosting an au pair at this point. You are simply invited to explore what our au pair program has to offer! Once you register, you will be able to view complete profiles of all the available au pairs from France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Poland, Australia, Brazil, China and many other countries, to check their references and to interview any candidate via skype. 

All our au pairs are English-speaking. They have been screened, trained and insured. Many are college-educated and qualify to care for infants or children with special needs.

An au pair can spend a year in the USA, on a J-1 visa (as designated by the US Department of State). She can care for children up to 45 hours a week and do light housekeeping – in exchange for room, board and a small stipend paid by the family.  

Cultural Care (the agency that I represent in the greater St. Louis area) is one of the largest and most respected au pair agencies in the USA. As of now, there are 7,000 au pairs hosted by American families nationwide. 

As a local program coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have and to help you get started!
