The areas I serve in Texas
The DFW area covers Fort Worth, the Mid-cities area and suburbs of east Tarrant County. I also cover Dallas County, about 45 minutes east of DFW airport. My area includes McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Grand Prairie area, and everywhere in between.
My name is Rebecca McFarland and I have been the Local Area Representative with Go Au pair since 2018. I live in the North Richland Hills area with my husband and three children. I love traveling, reading, and spending time with my family.
I love the Au Pair program for many reasons. As a busy mom of three, I understand the need for flexible childcare and the Au Pair program provides just that! Host families gain a new family member while receiving amazing childcare. The bonds that Host Families and their Au Pairs create is unmatched.
I love the Au Pair program! I enjoy working with all the Host Families and Au Pairs, helping to create a wonderful experience for them throughout their year! I’ve seen what a big impact the program has on the Host Parents, children and Au Pairs and I love being a part of that!
Au Pair Cultural Activities
Au Pairs are required to attend a number of Cultural Activities with their Local Area Representative and nearby Au Pairs to make sure they experience the local community and culture during their stay. Below are some of the activities Rebecca’s cluster has been up to recently!
This is an Au Pair favorite! Located in Downtown Dallas, this museum holds amazing fine art from all over the world. We often eat at the local park nearby where we will enjoy refreshments from local food trucks.
Also an Au Pair favorite! Main Street is decorated to the brim with all things Christmas. It provides for beautiful photo opportunities while Au Pairs experience all the sights of a historic Main Street. They enjoy sipping hot chocolate while seeing Christmas decorations with a local twist.
Au Pairs love to test out their bowling skills at a local bowling alley. We also have an enjoyable time playing the game, eating, and getting to know each other better.
