This blog has been created to bring you the most current information about Au Pair in America\u2019s Rhode Island branch (referred to as the Rhode Island \u201ccluster\u201d in Au Pair in America terms). As the Rhode Island representative and counselor for Au Pair in America, my goal is to provide information and support to my current au pairs and host families, and to be a source of information to those families in the community who may be interested in hosting an au pair \u2013 an experience which should provide not just child care, but an enriching, memorable cultural exchange experience.<\/p>\n
I work with a network of community counselors throughout the country (about 180 in all), each provides support to au pairs and host families in their community. In turn, all of us have the support of our U.S. Corporate headquarters in Stamford, CT.<\/p>\n
I plan to post up-to-date information for au pairs and host families, and would also like this blog to serve as a forum for all of you to post questions and comments that may be of interest to others in the Au Pair in America community. My sense is that these collective questions, answers, and comments will become a valuable resource for all of us.<\/p>\n
