Welcome to my Au Pair in America Cluster!<\/p>\n

My name is Bettina Velona and I have been servicing host families and au pairs in Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington and surrounding towns since 2007.\u00a0 On average, I have between 30 and 40 host families and au pairs.\u00a0 The Boston area has many other au pair clusters and the au pairs can take advantage of a large social network.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from Harvard Extension School and a Master Degree in Professional Counseling from Lesley University.\u00a0 I am a mental health counselor, working with populations from various backgrounds.\u00a0 I have worked as a German language specialist as well as a children\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
