I am the Local Coordinator here in Broward County, Florida for 9 years. Choosing childcare is no easy decision. It also means that au pairs travel to the U.S.

I love promoting cultural exchange, growing global families and building relationships with my host families and au pairs. Because as parents, we don’t ever want to compromise on quality, flexibility and trust when finding care for the most important people in the world. Hosting a Cultural Care au pair gives thousands of families across the country those very important benefits. I invite you to le

arn more about who our au pairs are, what they do, and why more families than ever are joining our program. For over 25 years, Cultural Care Au Pair has helped host families across the country secure childcare that provides flexibility, trust and cultural exchange. Our families love welcoming au pairs year after year. Cultural Care au pairs are carefully screened young adults from over 25 countries worldwide who have childcare experience, CPR and First Aid certification and an interest in joining an American family for a year. FLEXIBILITY
An au pair can provide up to 45 hours per week of childcare (up to 10 hours per day) on a schedule you decide, including early morning, evening and weekend coverage. Au pairs can also care for your children when they are sick, out from school on snow days and during school vacations. Families with busy schedules love hosting au pairs! TRUST
Because an au pair lives with you as a member of your family, your relationship with her develops quickly and mutual trust happens much faster than with a daycare provider or live-out nanny. After an initial period of adjustment, our host parents describe feeling a deep sense of comfort knowing their children are cared for by someone they know and respect. CULTURE
Au pairs come from many countries all over the world and can expose your entire family to their language and culture. Your children will learn words in your au pair’s native tongue and well as songs and games from her home country. Au pairs also help children gain a renewed appreciation for their own environment and a desire to see more of the world. PROTECTION
Cultural Care Au Pair is a government-regulated program, meaning there are guidelines in place designed to protect both families and au pairs during the exchange year. on a legal J-1 visa, allowing them to stay in the country (and with your family) for up to two years.

Meet Kenza — a warm, reliable 25-year-old French au pair with Moroccan roots, currently finishing her first au pair year in New York and looking to extend. She’s available in April and will set your family up with strong childcare support heading into summer.

Kenza grew up in a big family with five siblings and has always helped care for younger children. She also works as a nurse assistant, which has strengthened her patience, responsibility, and calm approach in any situation. Families describe her as kind, organized, and deeply attentive to others’ needs.

She has 2,200+ verified childcare hours and is infant qualified, with experience caring for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. She’s confident driving, values routine and safety, and creates a fun, structured, loving environment for kids.

If you’re looking for a mature, nurturing au pair ready for spring and summer, Kenza would love to connect.
