“Erin provide really good service to us. She is always in touch. She helps with questions immediately. She always asks our opinion before she plans another activity, sends information about new au pairs. She is wonderful!”
“Everything about our au pair has exceeded expectations. She is wonderful!”
“I really love to live in Utah. [It] is one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can do a lot of things, hiking, snowboarding, you can watch amazing landscapes. My family is really special, they are very independent, but they also love to have family time.”
“We have been thrilled with our au pair and having her in our home has been a pure delight. We adore her and consider her a part of our family.”
“Erin has been great at letting us know when there are activities and encourages the Au pairs to go. Erin has always been available to answer questions and is super easy to get along with. We feel very comfortable talking with her.”
The areas I serve in Texas
The DFW area covers Fort Worth, the Mid-cities area and suburbs of east Tarrant County. I also cover Dallas County, about 45 minutes east of DFW airport. My area includes McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Grand Prairie area, and everywhere in between.
I love the Au Pair program for many reasons. As a busy mom of three, I understand the need for flexible childcare and the Au Pair program provides just that! Host families gain a new family member while receiving amazing childcare. The bonds that Host Families and their Au Pairs create is unmatched.
Au Pair Cultural Activities
Au Pairs are required to attend a number of Cultural Activities with their Local Area Representative and nearby Au Pairs to make sure they experience the local community and culture during their stay. Below are some of the activities Rebecca’s cluster has been up to recently!
Dallas Museum of Art: This is an Au Pair favorite! Located in Downtown Dallas, this museum holds amazing fine art from all over the world. We often eat at the local park nearby where we will enjoy refreshments from local food trucks.
The Christmas Capital of Texas in Grapevine, Texas: Also an Au Pair favorite! Main Street is decorated to the brim with all things Christmas. It provides for beautiful photo opportunities while Au Pairs experience all the sights of a historic Main Street. They enjoy sipping hot chocolate while seeing Christmas decorations with a local twist.
Bowling with Au Pairs: Au Pairs love to test out their bowling skills at a local bowling alley. We also have an enjoyable time playing the game, eating, and getting to know each other better.
