Looking for an Au Pair in St Louis, Missouri?

 

 

With over 30 years of experience, EurAupair was one of the first au pair programs to become designated by the U. S. Department of State to legally sponsor au pairs to come to the United States and has placed tens of thousands of au pairs across the country including in the St Louis area.

EurAupair is an affordable child care option, making it a real value for such flexible, loving, in-home care. And, unlike other forms of child care, the fee is for children of all ages, and per family - not per child.

The Benefits of Hosting an Au Pair

While you're looking for the best child care option for your family, you're probably comparing the benefits of each type. Hosting an au pair is a unique experience that's beneficial to you and your family in the following ways:

  • Cultural enrichment: Arguably the best aspect of having an au pair is the intercultural education that takes place. You and your children will learn about a way of life that's potentially drastically different from your own, and your au pair will have the same opportunity. Learning about people who are different from them makes your children more empathetic and understanding.
  • Flexibility and convenience: When your au pair is a member of your household, you have more control over your schedule and deal with much less hassle. In case of inclement weather or lateness, you won't have to worry about adjusting your schedule for the entire rest of the day.

Local Support From EurAupair Community Counselors

Following the receipt of your application form, a local Community Counselor from the St Louis area will be assigned to your family. The Community Counselor is available to answer any questions and provide assistance to both you and your au pair throughout your year together.

"Since I used to be an au pair, becoming a Community Counselor was an easy decision for me. I thought I could use my first-hand experience to help host families and au pairs and have the best out of their year together. I love meeting new au pairs and host families and seeing them grow so close like a family. It reminds me of the wonderful year I had as an au pair." from Community Counselor Dee McMillion.

Some examples of monthly au pair meetings in the area include: We go to concerts, local festivals, baseball games, visit museums and parks. We volunteer at the local food pantry and do activities like rock climbing, lazer tag, and pool parties.

Education for Your Au Pair

U.S. government regulations require that au pairs be provided with opportunities for cultural and educational enrichment. Au pairs must complete six units of academic coursework at an accredited, post-secondary institution. No matter what your au pair wants to study, she'll be able to find interesting, engaging courses at the multiple educational institutions in the St. Louis area.

Here are some institutions in the area your au pair may consider:

Local Activities for Your Au Pair and Your Child(ren)
