Ask a mom about flexible, affordable childcare

Host a visitor from another country! Our Au pair, Eva,  is from Hungary and has been with our family almost 2 years. She is an English-speaking college graduate, she drives, and she lives with our family. She can work up to 45 hours a week and the cost to our family is about $350 per week. Her health insurance and payroll taxes are taken care of. She is our 5th Au pair through CHI.  

When you work with and agency like CHI, all candidates are extensively prescreened and each Au pair has been psychologically evaluated, background checked and health examined before you even see her (or his!) profile.  

Au pairs are a great choice for busy families. Quality childcare for up to 45 hours per week, plus Au pairs handle kid's meals, laundry, and cleanup. Au pairs can supervise up to four children- there is no "additional hourly" if you have 2 or more children!

CHI is supervised by the U.S. State Department and all
Au pairs are legally in the U.S. Your whole family experiences a new language and culture while sharing the American culture and the English language.
CHI handles their flights, visa and support year round.

If you would like more information on our family's Au pair experience please contact me, Terri, at 310-621-5759 or contact CHI Representative Sandra Haglund directly at  805-498-2524 . http://www.chiaupairusa.org/
