First Ever Summer Au Pair Child Care Program Launched by InterExchange Au Pair USA
Quality, Affordable, Live-In Child Care for the Summer Months From Around the World
NEW YORK, NY - March 5, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- InterExchange Au Pair USA (www.InterExchange.org)
announces the launch of the first ever Summer Au Pair program giving families an affordable,
alternative to traditional child care for the summer months.
U.S. Host Families receive quality, in-home child-care by carefully screened young adults from Europe.
Au Pair participants speak English, provide personalized care, supervise and play with the family's
children, drive them to the pool or play dates, and care for them while the parents are at work or out
for the day. Children get the chance to spend their summer learning about a different culture from a
full-time child-care provider. The average weekly cost to a Host Family for a summer of child-care is
$290.
Au Pairs are young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 who come to the United States on a J-1 Exchange
Visitor Visa to live as an extended member of their Host Family. Au Pairs provide up to 45 hours per
week of live-in child care in exchange for room, board, an educational allowance, and a small weekly
stipend.
"Allowing Au Pairs to come to the U.S. for less than the traditional 1 year period, is an exciting
opportunity for parents who only need child-care during the summer months," noted Krista Rowe,
InterExchange Au Pair USA Program Manager. "This is a unique opportunity for children over the age of 2
to spend their summer learning first-hand about another culture."
