Day 22 - A Job Interview

Today I had a job interview with Cultural Care Au Pair. It went great but I won't know if I got the job until next week. Even if I don't get the job, I thought I would share some about the company with you guys. 

What it is: 

Cultural Care Au Pair is childcare mixed with a cultural exchange program. The au pair lives with your family while doing up to 45 hours of childcare a week. The au pair joins the family for activities and meals and is treated as an extended family member. The great thing about this program, other than fostering cultural exchange, is that it is more affordable and flexible than hiring a local nanny or babysitter. It averages out to about $350 a week or about $7.80 an hour. What makes it even better? They have discounts for military families, families with multiples, repeat families and the occasional discount for everyone, as well as payment plans.

Why I like them over others: 

Cultural Care doesn't just get random people from other countries to act as au pairs. They put their candidates through thorough screening and background checks before accepting them into the program. Then, once the au pairs get to the U.S., they attend a training school where child safety and development are reviewed. They also go above and beyond the U.S. Dept of State's requirements for au pair programs.


So, if you are looking into childcare or are looking for something different, look into Cultural Care Au Pair. It's a great way to teach your kids about cultural diversity and give a young adult the chance to experience America.
