What our host families are saying

  • Our au pair Desiree is an exemplary example of what an au pair should be.

    She’s caring, reliable, open to new experiences and willing to learn and grow. We truly feel blessed to have her as a part of our family and a caregiver to our son Tayo.”

    —Emerald, host mom in MD


  • We are forever grateful to Cultural Care for the exposure to our amazing group of au pairs over the past 13 years!

    Our children continue to be in touch with them years later, and we have witnessed them getting married themselves and starting their own families. They are an extension of our family and they will always be in our hearts.”

    —Elena, host mom from MA


  • Our au pair Ana knows exactly when to step in to help, and she’s always punctual and very courteous.

    Ana's warm personality and her ability to understand the dynamics of a busy household with 3 kids (my youngest son has special needs) is a godsend. She is just a great asset to have and a beautiful person. We are very VERY lucky that she chose us as host family.”

    • —Alan, host dad in CA

After initially hiring a nanny, we turned to Cultural Care so that we could have an au pair live with us as part of our family.

Cultural Care makes it easy to explore good au pair options, and once we made a final choice, they facilitated everything to bring Laura to our family. Thank you Culture Care!”

—Jean-Phillipe host dad in FL

  • “We like that we know our children’s caregiver intimately and have more oversight in the care provided.

    What we didn’t anticipate was that having an au pair would also allow our children much needed sleep (drastically improving their moods) and a huge sense of security. Hosting Isa has been the greatest decision we have ever made!”

    —Ellen, host mom in OH


  • “Reliable, affordable childcare for 4 young kids is nearly impossible to find.

    Cultural Care provides that and more. Our au pair is more than just a babysitter, she is family. She just melded into our family like it was totally normal for all of us, and our four kids took to her immediately.”

    —Brittany, host mom in NC


  • “The au pair program is a stellar example of connecting people around the world and our own experience has been wonderful.

    Each au pair relationship is unique and life lasting. Most recently Anna joined our family of 5 and fit right in. This summer the kids had fun making traditional flower wreaths for Swedish Midsummer and we enjoyed sharing our traditions at Diwali and Halloween.”

    • —Meera, host mom in CA

“Hosting an au pair has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as a family.

It brought joy and stability to what felt like an impossible situation, parenting and working full time. Our kids have learned so much about other cultures, which we believe will benefit them for life.”

—Sarah, host mom in DC

  • “Camilla is kind and caring, funny and easy going.

    We are so thankful to Cultural Care for helping to facilitate this wonderful experience and we can only hope that more families will decide to join the au pair program and expand their family like we have with Camilla.”

    —Rayleen, host mom in NC


  • “We feel endlessly grateful that Jesse has become part of our family.

    Even though it’s only been a few months, we can’t imagine our family life without his amazing positive attitude and energy! Our two boys (ages 10 and 7) look up to him as a role model and older brother.”

    —Samantha, host mom in CA


  • “The au pair program has not only provided incredible childcare, but it has brought back incredible flexibility, freedom and date nights!

    My husband and I started taking swing dance lessons one evening a week. We are able to enjoy this time together because we are relaxed and confident about the loving care that our children are receiving while we are away."
