Infant Specialized Au Pair Program
The first year of a child's life is an amazing time of growth and is the building block for future stages of development. Au Pair Care's unique Infant Specialized Care Program provides families with infants with a trained au pair who specializes in infant caregiving and development. Infant Specialized au pairs have considerable interest and experience caring for infants and have at least 200 documented hours of childcare experience with infants and children under two.
Au Pair Care's proprietary Infant Specialized Training utilizes a hands-on approach to train au pairs in infant safety, care giving, infant stimulation and development. Infant Specialized Au Pairs are specifically trained in the "American Way" of infant care giving in this focused, hands-on environment and are given tools to ensure clear communication with parents about baby care though the use of the Au Pair Care Daily Diary.
Benefits of an Infant Specialized Au Pair:
- Your au pair will have experience and training in infant-specific child development and will be trained in the “American Way” of infant caregiving
- Your au pair will attend an intensive American Heart Association CPR and first aid certification training course
- Your au pair will learn unique skills such as infant sign language and baby massage, designed to promote physical and mental stimulation of your infant
Training highlights include:
- Certification in infant CPR and first aid by the American Heart Association
- Instruction on infant massage using the Liddle Kidz™ Foundation method, a leading infant massage learning organization
- Instruction in infant sign language using the Baby Fingers™ method, a leading infant sign language learning organization
This additional training will help nurture your baby's healthy growth and encourage language development.
