Au Pair childcare supports the kids in obvious ways. Host Parents expect their Au Pair perform childcare responsibilities with love, excitement and ambition. Parents also benefit from the confidence, strength and tranquility a trusted Au Pair partner provides. Host Parents work guilt free knowing their children are loved all day long and when not working knowing they can be present with their family. When an Au Pair joins the home, Host Parents achieve goals beyond parenting.
For an Au Pair, living with your family is a dream come true. It’s not a job performed for money. This difference in mindset is why Host Parents love having an Au Pair as a childcare partner, reliable teammate and great friend!
Perhaps the most significant benefit she brings is that she enables us to be better parents. By lightening our load, she allows us to connect deeply with our kids. We routinely take each kid out individually for special dates on their own, while D [Au Pair] watches the others, in order to give one on one attention to each of them… Something that is rare with four kids in a busy house.

She is very intentional with our children, taking care to consider how her words and actions affect them and our family. Her ability to consistently have patience with them is incredible, and she has been a role model to me, showing me how to better engage with them and create trust. Because I know my children are in her nurturing care during the day, I am able to work away from home without worry, knowing that they are receiving love that I would consider nearly equivalent to a parent’s love. I consider A [Au Pair] a true partner in our childcare plan and value her judgment and abilities.

I am so proud of him [Host Kid] that he works every hard at school and that is also what he told me when he finishes his school, I am so proud of that he is proud of himself. I am so proud of him that he is trying his best to do better on his schoolwork during the quarantine time. I am happy that i am with here to witness his growth for almost one and half years, and definitely the good boy is keeping growing up.

Being a partner that makes it possible for our family to do great things together while being a fantastic role model for our kids is what makes G [Au Pair] truly exceptional.
