Summer is coming and you know what that means- time to start planning your child care for September! Don’t fumble around with coordinating babysitters or After School Programs. Hire an Au Pair!
Au Pairs are young adults seeking a cultural experience abroad. Au Pairs provide child care and child-related housekeeping. They come to Canada under a Working Holiday Visa for up to 12 months at a time! Although they do not have as much experience as Nannies, they have gained child care experience through babysitting, tutoring and camp counselling.
Enjoy the flexibility of having your child care provider in the comfort of your home! Au Pairs should take on the roll as “big sister” to your kids as she is here to be a part of the family. Your children can benefit from learning about new cultures as your Au Pair teaches them about her favourite foods, games and holidays from her own country. This can be a very exciting and rewarding friendship for children of any age and an equally valuable experience for the Au Pair.
The great thing about this program is how simple it is to bring an Au Pair into your family. They can apply for and receive their Visa in about 8-12 weeks. Also, this is a very low cost program as the air fare and health care costs are the Au Pair’s responsibility.
