In Colorado, families are finding unique ways to integrate cultural value into their homes while ensuring dependable childcare through the AuPairCare au pair program.
AuPairCare, a premier au pair agency, has made a significant impact on local families, blending reliable childcare with the invaluable experience of cultural exchange. Throughout Douglas County, AuPairCare is transforming how families think about childcare and cultural diversity.
AuPairCare’s goal is straightforward yet profound: to match families in the United States with international au pairs who provide live-in childcare while bringing diverse cultural experiences into American homes.
The program offers a dual benefit. For families, it ensures their children receive care from passionate caregivers and develop life-long relationships. For au pairs, it presents an opportunity to immerse themselves in a new culture, improve their English skills, and form lasting bonds with their host families.
AuPairCare Benefits Local Families
Beyond the cultural enrichment, AuPairCare offers practical benefits that appeal to local families. The program provides flexible childcare solutions tailored to each family’s specific needs. Whether it’s early morning care, after-school activities, or weekend support, au pairs offer a level of flexibility that traditional childcare options often cannot match.
Additionally, the live-in aspect of the program ensures that children have consistent and familiar care. Au pairs become integral members of the family, providing stability and continuity in the children’s lives. This stable environment is particularly beneficial for young children who thrive on routine and familiar faces.
“This program has allowed us to have a culturally immersive experience with someone who has become family. We love the flexibility with childcare and the ability to show someone what America has to offer. We are grateful to have found this organization as it has provided us with this wonderful opportunity to host.” – Melissa, AuPairCare Host Mom in Parker, Colorado
AuPairCare Benefits Au Pairs
In 2023, AuPairCare welcomed around 3,600 au pairs from 48 countries, showcasing its extensive reach and commitment to cultural exchange.
AuPairCare Area Directors organize events each month to help au pairs integrate into their communities, build friendships, and create lasting memories. These Cultural Connection events provide a fun and engaging environment where au pairs can relax, socialize, and experience local culture. You might spot groups of au pairs bowling, attending Film on the Rocks at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, or indulging in sweet treats at local ice cream shops.
“This program gave me the opportunity to know the American culture with an amazing family that has welcomed me as a part of it, which I am incredibly grateful for. Not to mention the language improvement and outstanding experiences I’ve lived.” – Lucia, Argentinian Au Pair living in Parker, Colorado
