Enrich The Lives of Your Family Through Cultural Exchange with an Au Pair Agency

Most of the discussion about au pairs centers on the services that they provide to working parents, especially child care relief and domestic support. What sometimes gets lost in the discussion are the benefits that au pairs can provide to your children. By integrating your EurAupair au pair as a true member of your family, you will understand the real meaning of a cultural exchange and see its many benefits for your children.

Young women decide to become au pairs to care of children and become part of an American family. They want to immerse themselves in the host family's culture, language and traditions, but the exchange of culture in such an intimate setting is never only one-way.

Global Citizen

Knowing a foreign language is so important in today's world that most high schools and colleges mandate several years of study in one to graduate. With your au pair, you can have an opportunity to expose your children to another language.

An au pair agency will allow you to sort through potential au pairs based on where they come from, or the native language that they speak. If your children are interested in France, hiring a French au pair will expose them to the world in pressure-free and fun way.

Food

Food is another way for your family to be exposed to a different culture. Chances are your French au pair will enjoy making Nutella crepes on Mardi-Gras or a Raclette in the winter; or your children will become a fan of Bratkartoffeln for dinner if you are hosting a German au pair!

Culture

Every culture has its own music, art, and traditions, and through your au pair, your children will have the opportunity to learn about those cultures. An au pair from Italy may teach your children about Rome, or a Portuguese au pair may teach them folk dances from Portugal. The exposure to elements of culture from around the world will make your child a more curious, and a more well-rounded world citizen.

Finding child care help through an au pair agency like EurAupair is about much more than hiring an employee. For your children, you open a window into the broader world, and provide them with opportunities to learn and experience foreign cultures in a way that few others can.
