Why secure an expert au pair consultant

Introduction 

Matching with an au pair is a daunting task, we understand. 
Choosing childcare for the most precious people in your life – your kids – has every parent feeling uneasy about the decision process, yes you are not alone. 
Selecting an au pair can be even more challenging, because in most cases you can only interview au pair candidates via email, over the phone or using skype.

A fact:  Au pair agency counselors are not encouraged to actively help host families with the matching process, for one simple reason:  The fear of liability to the agency.

Why get help from an au pair expert

You have had an au pair that hasn’t worked out for your family?
You have gone through the trauma of finding yourself without childcare because your last au pair went into rematch.  Your last au pair complained that your kids where too much to handle?  She was overwhelmed?  She didn’t have authority over the kids.  And the whole match just went downhill.

You have received several au pair applications from your au pair agency and don’t know how to pick the right au pair? 
You are worried that you are choosing the wrong au pair for your family.

You have good managerial and people skills, but an au pair is a different story, way closer to home than colleagues or business partners are.  And an au pair takes more ‘give’ than a regular employee relationship.  The au pair program is a 'cultural exchange program, as you know.  You get up to 45 hours/week childcare in exchange for room & board, pocket money and participating in a limited amount of classes.
