Enriching Experience for Your Children
Bulgarian au pair, Dobromira
Child Care and So Much More
Child care can become an enriching experience for the whole family. With an au pair, your children will receive cultural education, learning about your au pair’s country and customs. Some families take this opportunity to expand their children’s language capabilities, and the au pair shares her language with the children. The family can choose an au pair from a country that they are interested in learning more about, or perhaps is the same as their heritage. Many parents want their children to be bilingual and the constant exposure and reinforcement provided by an au pair are the best ways to immerse the children in a new language. Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Mandarin are just some of the many native languages of the au pairs!
“I have become so fluent in French that I’ve tested out of my middle school French course. They say I’m a native speaker - too advanced. This makes me feel very accomplished.”
– Ellen, age 12, MA
“It's important to us that our kids know about the bigger world outside our town and country, and our au pairs have made this real. They also help our kids (and ourselves) to learn more about our own country, by sharing the excitement of their discoveries as they learn about and adapt to life in the U.S. We also have kids in a dual language (Spanish-English) program at our local public school, so our au pairs have helped them to learn proper Spanish. A real bonus!”
– Jennifer, Host Mother, NY
