“Cultural Care Au Pairs are like a family member that cares for your kids as much as you do. They are like an older sibling to your kids and are a joy to share American culture with. The flexible schedule and having them in the house is a very unique and priceless experience. We have had four Au Pairs so far and cannot imagine a better solution for our family and kids!” —The Diaz family

Host Family Of The Year! ♥️✨

This year, our Host Family of the Year contest has come to an exciting end….and it’s a TIE! Our two winning host families truly went above and beyond in their role of hosting an au pair and welcoming cultural exchange into their home, and we’re so happy to name them our 2023 Host Families of the Year.  

Up first, the Gerrity family from Maryland! Check out a quote from their German au pair, Erik, below:

“I believe that my host family and I really bonded together like real family. I admire them for who they are and for the love they have to give. We enjoy the little things together like watching a show or sitting at the fireplace, but also go on vacations and adventures together. My host family has truly supported me in any way possible—when I was sick, they took care of me. When I was planning trips, they gave me advice and tips to make it the smoothest trip possible. They helped me find my classes and now they’ve helped me find a similarly awesome family for my second year. I’m lucky to see all the milestones my host kid have reached, because I’m lucky my host family decided to share them with me.” —Erik, au pair from Germany

One of the reasons families I work with love our program is 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.
