Meet the Counselor

Welcome to my Au Pair in America Cluster!

My name is Bettina Velona and I have been servicing host families and au pairs in Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington and surrounding towns since 2007.  On average, I have between 30 and 40 host families and au pairs.  The Boston area has many other au pair clusters and the au pairs can take advantage of a large social network.

I am from Germany and moved to the United States in 1991, after traveling through the US and living with an American family in New Jersey.  I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from Harvard Extension School and a Master Degree in Professional Counseling from Lesley University.  I am a mental health counselor, working with populations from various backgrounds.  I have worked as a German language specialist as well as a children’s counselor. I have also been a parent for over 17 years. I am excited to bring in my personal and professional experience when working with au pairs and host families.
