San Francisco, CA - August 12, 2011 - Au Pair Care, a leading au pair agency providing live-in child care services to American families, is hosting its second annual International Au Pair and Host Family Day over select weekends this September and October. International Au Pair and Host Family Day will be held in nearly 100 communities across the country and will bring together local American families and au pairs from all over the world to share their culture and promote the benefits of international child care.

The locally-planned International Au Pair and Host Family Day events are free and open to all previous and current host families and au pairs, as well as local families who may want to learn more about the program. The events will feature fun and interactive activities for all ages such as picnics, face-painting, barbeques, sports, and hay rides.

“International Au Pair and Host Family Day events allow Au Pair Care host families, au pairs and representatives the chance to interact with their community and celebrate a diversity of cultures from around the globe,” said Heidi Woehl, vice president of Au Pair Care. “Welcoming an au pair into your home is more than just child care – it provides your children with a window to the world.”

Au pairs are young adults from countries around the world who live with families and provide live-in child care. Au pairs work flexible hours (up to 45 hours per week), have extensive child care experience, speak conversational English, and are 18-26 years old. The Au Pair Care program offers affordable child care at an equivalent of $7.75 per hour, plus room and board, regardless of the number of children.
