Go Back to School With Au Pair in America and Save!

STAMFORD, CT – As American children head back to school in the coming weeks, child care will be at the forefront of the minds of millions of parents. Au Pair in America offers affordable and experienced child care available for the start of the school year – and it costs nothing to apply during the month of August!

This month, families that apply to Au Pair in America, the nation’s most trusted live-in child care provider, will have their $350 application fee waived and begin the process of solving their back-to-school child care needs.

With the hectic schedules that return with the school year, the flexible hours of an au pair are essential. Au Pair in America has qualified au pairs from all over the world and provides the definitive cultural child care experience for American families across the nation at a cost that is affordable.

“The average cost of the program is $328 per week whether you have one or four children,” said William L. Gertz, CEO and President of the American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS), the parent company of Au Pair in America. “It’s a logical choice. You get the economic value and a cultural experience.”

Au Pair in America has placed nearly 83,000 au pairs in 36 states since they pioneered the program in the U.S. more than 20 years ago.

Au Pair in America, the nation’s first legal au pair agency, places potential au pairs based on the different criteria posed by host families. Both au pairs and families complete a thorough application and screening process to ensure the best situation for all parties.

Regulated by the U.S. Department of State’s Exchange Visitor Program, the au pair program allows 18- to 26-year-old foreign women the opportunity to live in the U.S. for up to two years as live-in child care providers. Each au pair is screened thoroughly, must have at least 200 hours of recent, documented child care experience, and must speak proficient English.

To learn more about the program, contact Au Pair in America at (800) 928-7247 or visit them on the web at www.aupairinamerica.com.

The original legal au pair solution, Au Pair in America combines live-in child care and cultural exchange for a mutually rewarding and enriching experience. Au Pair in America is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, and has offices in 5 countries.
