Looking for a wonderful, experienced au pair to take care of your children? Check out Sabrina, who is 23 years old and from Brazil. She is an excellent au pair with almost 7500 hours of childcare experience. She is looking to extend for one year with a family and has no strong geographic preferences. She currently takes care of a 2, 4 and 6 year old and is a strong driver, (never had car accident), and is loving, and creative. Sabrina's current host family will no longer require an au pair when her initial program year is completed and Sabrina can join your family on June 20, just in time for the summer break from school!
In Sabrina's words, "I feel confident and secure in dealing with children. Their safety and well-being is always my priority. I think that varied activities, closeness to the nature, and the opportunity to create things with their own hands are very important for children and I would like to support them to find their ways. For example, I love to do handicrafts with children or cooking. I also love sports and exercise. The “ learning by doing“ pleases me. They still have to discover the world and we should help and instruct them. I want them to have an amazing time together and I want to encourage them to try new things."
Sabrina loves nature and will find all kinds of fun outdoor activities to keep your children entertained this summer.
For her information, please reach out to me for details. If you are a new Host Family to AuPairCare, I am able to share a signifcant discount for hosting a 12 month au pair with our agency.
Please reach out to me today for the discount code and to learn more about Sabrina!!

Why Host an Au Pair?
Here are some common questions:
What is an Au Pair?
An au pair is a young adult from another country who lives with your family for a year and provides in-home childcare (like a nanny, but better)! Au pairs work up to 45 hours per week, in exchange for the opportunity to live with an American family. Because au pairs provide live-in childcare, they offer greater flexibility, caring for
your children at times that accommodate your family’s individual schedule. Au pairs can fulfill a variety of roles that help you family thrive and grow. An au pair may become a big sister or big brother to your children; be another responsible adult in your household; become a new member of your family; or become the sous chef in your kitchen and or prepare culinary treat(s) from their home country.
What about loss of privacy?
Granted hosting an au pair or having live-in help can mean some sacrifice of privacy in your home. However, the convenience of having someone in your home is so helpful when there is bad weather, an emergency at work, or when one of your children is sick, that it is a small price to pay for the flexibility it affords your family and outweighs any privacy you may give up. With a flexible 45 hour per week schedule, you can re-adjust your childcare coverage to suit your family’s needs on a weekly or daily basis without additional cost to you.
Why host an au pair instead of hiring a Nanny or Housekeeper?
The cost of hosting an au pair is significantly less expensive than the cost of a live-in nanny or housekeeper. Most importantly, the cultural experience resulting from sharing your home with a person from another part of the world is so rewarding and enriching for every member of your family that you cannot put a price tag on it.
New Fairfax AuPairCare Host Family Account:
“Within less than a month, welcoming an au pair into our home has changed our family’s life. I was a little skeptical about having a stranger come live with us, but in the age of Skype interviews and instant messaging, it actually felt like we knew each other pretty well before she arrived. Now we are having so much fun together!
Do you want to put an end to the exhausting search for a sitter every time you just want to go out for a date night? Do you long to run errands without the kids – just once? If your children are small like mine chances are you don’t have a huge list of people who are available to care for them on a flexible basis. For us, we don’t have family members nearby. We are part of a great community of friends and neighbors, but it has been wonderful to have someone the children know and love right here in our house. I don’t have to explain anything or leave a list of likes and dislikes and emergency numbers every time. She already has them and knows their routine, AND where everything is in the house. Suddenly date nights are a realistic option again!
We needed a flexible childcare option, so having an au pair was definitely the best choice for us. My youngest is a little young to be out of the house all day if I can avoid it. I love that she can nap in her own crib and have meals in our kitchen during the day. We set the schedule at the beginning of each week, and it is working great! I don’t have to worry about getting my littlest one ready, dressed and fed with diaper bag packed before I leave the house. I didn’t really know quite what to expect, but in a very short time our au pair has made life a lot easier and much more fun.”
Another local Host Family from Burke:
“We opted for this type of childcare arrangement over another because we found it to be a wonderful way to balance childcare and cultural enrichment, all while increasing our family circle! Our family has been with AuPairCare for almost 8 years. We have enjoyed each other and every one of our Au Pairs! Each one has brought significantly different personalities and cultures to our family! We have not only been able to learn and grow with our Au Pairs, but we have increased the size of our family with them as well as with their families and friends. We continue to keep in touch with all of our Au Pairs and enjoy hearing about the twists and turns that their lives have taken since returning home. We can’t think of a better way to bring up our kids!”
From another long standing Host Family:
“We have had many wonderful Au Pairs over the years. Perhaps one of the most exciting highlights of our involvement with the program was when our family rendezvoused at the World Cup in Brazil with a former Brazilian Au Pair who had lived with us.” The bonds and the memories our Host Families create with their Au Pairs are life-long.
A final comment from a first year Au Pair:
“The little girl I take care of and I are very close. We joke that when she becomes a young adult that she wants to come to South Africa to be my Au Pair and care for my children.”
The rewards and benefits of hosting an au pair are many. For the past 25 years, San Francisco based AuPairCare has prided ourselves on offering a fantastic childcare option to families not just in the Bay Area, but across the nation! To learn more about applying to host an international au pair; about our award winning agency AuPairCare; or to ask any questions; please call or email local Northern Virginia area director, Cara Burke at (703) 982.0497 or [email protected].
