Au Pair Chatter

Terry and I have created 2 separate blogs to better serve our respective cluster areas since we are in two different states (MD & VA.)  We have also moved them to a new location hosted by Au Pair in America.

You can find us here:

Come visit us at our new blog home.

We started this blog because we have seen a lot of misinformation on the internet about au pairs, host families and au pair agencies.  So, we want to share a different perspective.  As two experienced, customer-focused community counselors and moms, we want to help families decide whether au pair is the right child care option for them and if Au Pair in America is the right agency.  If not, that’s fine.  Unlike some of our competitors, we are not out to recruit every family.  We view selecting childcare as a major personal decision.  There is no one-size- fits-all method of childcare.  We want to make you aware of things to consider and let you decide.
