Cultural Care Au Pair is the largest au pair agency in the U.S., celebrating over 30 years matching au pairs with American families for a unique cultural exchange and childcare experience. Host families choose Cultural Care as their trusted source for flexible, reliable childcare that feels like part of the family. Au pairs benefit from the largest network of Local Childcare Consultants to support their cultural exchange experience. Families appreciate being able to schedule up to 45 hours per week and up to 10 hours per day of childcare when they need it.
I’m doing okay. I’m really happy with my choice of family, they make me feel like a part of it, truly. The place I’m living in it’s very different form where I’m used to so it’s been a journey but I’m happy.
After the initial hiccups of understanding the system we have enjoyed getting to know the candidates. We were a bit disappointed in how our cultural care representative changed at the beginning of our journey and felt that it was not communicated clearly to us. The initial paperwork is arduous but we could see the benefit of having filled it out. We are lucky in having a close family that has used CC and were able to learn a lot from them. We prefer consistency and believe that this is something CC could improve upon.
We’re about to have our second Au Pair move in and Cultural Care has been an excellent service. The au pairs are well prepared for the job and we have all the resources and support we have needed. It’s been a wonderful experience for our family.
My hosts help me with everything and are always attentive to my schedule, meals, and well-being
Everyone during the process was very kind and helpful
I feel like my continued contact with cultural care is going well during my year here. I can call someone whenever I need it and the website is good for looking up additional help about travel in the US.
My host family is really sweet and great. I have a really good relationship with them and my host kids. I also made a lot of friends and visit new places. Having new experiences and support from my hosts and friends.
They help a lot during all the process and even when you are in the United States
I have a great Host Family, they always care about making the work better for my experience and they really really care about the children feelings, so that means that everything was great in those 3 months so far. We had fun, we share a lot of families moments and they made me feel comfortable in every moment. We always communicate what we feel and any thing we feel is not right. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve them.
My experience is good with my host family. I do believe for the amount of work we are required to do we should have a higher stipend.
Everything is going well with my kid and my friends and everything but it’s hard with the hosts parents. And sometimes it’s just not working even if I make efforts and try to communicate with them !! Chloé
My experience is going so well and I think is thanks to my host family. They are amazing people, they have treated me like family since day one. I also have make such great friends in the little time I've been here and that also helps to make this experience so good.
I love the program, the system amd the verity of aupers. Highly recommend for family who are looking to be stress free and have a reliable auper and with a support from the program through out the 2 years.
Didn’t have a good experience, not a good agency to travel with. The second you find yourself in a hard situation they’re not helpful at all, they really don’t care, they only care about the money they can’t get off of you.🤷🏻♀️
I discovered new states, new cities, I got my Californian license, incredible.
Our first AuPair was terrible and we went into rematch within 6 weeks. When they went to rematch her, the transition document did not include any of our actual issues with her - and the biggest incident they wrote out to look as if it was our child’s fault that she put them in danger. Our second AuPair left early because she struggled with depression and homesickness - and we were left with a significant credit with the agency. We still decided to give it a chance and we matched with a new AuPair - and despite our significant credit they’re expecting us to still pay a deposit. Not following the logic of the agency - they’re just out to make money. Follow Facebook groups of CC families and make sure you’re aware of the issues before you sign up with them. We will stay so far because we need the childcare and we are out $3k.
Both host families have been amazing! I’m really happy I’m here living this experience and making bonds that will last forever
it's a life experience
Great service from our local coordinator, but the web interface could use some improvements!
I have a really good family, although I am not getting much support from the LCC with regards to the questions have most of the time.
