The areas I serve in Kentucky
Located in the beautiful bluegrass of Kentucky, I service the incredible people of Scott, Bourbon, Harrison, Franklin, Grant Owen, Anderson, Woodford, and Fayette counties! Don’t see your county mentioned? Please inquire regardless as we desire to see au pairs wherever you are!
A former au pair to the incredible country of Germany, I am delighted to assist families here in the Bluegrass State! With a love of people, culture, and adventure, I am thrilled to help you through every step of the process, and ultimately see you, your family, and your au pair succeed! With so much to offer, and so much to gain, I could not be more excited on this journey with you!
We are growing! With multiple families seeking au pairs in our area,we are anticipating lots of culture and fun in these upcoming months! From families with professional careers to those with stay-at-home parents, all are welcome, all are wanted, and all are celebrated! You have a busy family? We have an au pair for 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 Shannon’s cluster has been up to recently!
Here in the Bluegrass State, we love our horses, our food, and our parks! Come enjoy a refreshing day at Masterson Park, an exciting day at Keeneland, or a chill day at one of our plentiful coffeehouses!

Au Pairs and Host Families can learn about tax withholdings and filing specific for the Au Pair program. Always consult a tax advisor to learn how taxes apply.
An Au Pair will need to get a Social Security # before getting a bank account and driver’s license. Go Au Pair will provide a welcome packet with social security information, on the Au Pairs arrival. We advise Au Pairs to wait 10 days after arrival to get their social security number. You can make an appointment at a social security office, closest to your home.
