A FUN DAY HELPING OUT AT AFAC

A group of 30 + au pairs from Au Pair In America joined the volunteers at AFAC (Arlington Food Assistance Center) to sort out and carry crates of non perishable food items collected today by the boy scouts all around Arlington.IMG_0204IMG_0203

Many of them expressed an interest in coming back during their free time to help serve their community and give back.IMG_0205

Want to know more about au pairs?

“Au pair” means “on par” or equal. Au pairs and EduCare companions are international visitors who travel to the United States on a J-1 Visitor Exchange Visa to acquire a better understanding and appreciation of American life while living with an American family and caring for their young children. View our au pairs available now.

Au pairs and companions become full-fledged family members, sharing a cultural exchange experience that often leads to a lasting relationship with the host family.

Au pairs on our Au Pair or Extraordinaire programs care for children of all ages – infants from three months of age, pre-school and school age. EduCare companions are au pairs who care exclusively for older children who are in school for a full five days a week.

All au pairs and companions make a commitment to participate in the program for 12 months. Those in good standing at the end of 12 months have an option to apply for an extension of duration of stay to continue their participation an additional 6, 9 or 12 months.

If you are eager to learn about another culture by hosting a young woman who, in turn, provides child care, then one of our program options can meet your expectations.
