“Lori has been a wonderful resource.”
“Au Pair child care is not only spending time with the children in a required mount of time but it is also created the connection between the children and the Au Pair as friends or sister/brother in family.”
“Very good response time and always was ready to communicate, very accessible.”
“I love living in a city like Philadelphia. It is big and there are tons of stuff you can do but it is not as busy and crowded. I also liked all the free time I had to explore and travel.”
The areas I serve in PA, NJ & DE
I cover Philadelphia and areas in PA, NJ, DE and MD that are within an hour of my home in South Philadelphia where I live with my wife and 2 kiddos.
My name is Lori Keslowitz and I have been the Local Area Representative in Philadelphia with Go Au Pair since November 2020. Before moving to Philadelphia in 2018, I lived in Brooklyn, NY. I completed 2 masters degrees. One in early childhood education and one in special education. As of 2022, I have almost 10 years of experience working with a variety of people with special needs from babies through high schoolers and their parents. I am also a board member and the events chair for Philadelphia Family Pride, a non-profit organization that brings LGBTQ+ families together in the greater Philadelphia region.
I joined Go Au Pair because I love building community and working with folks with different backgrounds and abilities. Bringing people together and sharing in their cultural and familial exchanges has been such a joy for me.
Our current Philadelphia Au Pair cluster has au pairs from Ecuador, Russia, Brazil, Colombia and Germany. Our host parents have jobs in accounting, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, the real estate business and 2 families own their own businesses. Our host kids range from only a few months old all the way up to teenagers. Our families truly offer such a wide variety of experiences for our au pairs and vice versa.
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 Lori’s cluster has been up to recently!
This was my first Family Day event at FDR Park. FDR is one of my favorite places in Philadelphia due to the many activities it has to offer. There’s hiking, kayaking, tennis, playgrounds, fishing and a skatepark, just to name a few. The park is also home to the American Swedish Historical Museum, which is the oldest Swedish museum in the United States.
Here is a photo at Linvilla Orchards of a few of our au pairs, a host mom and me when I was very pregnant with my 2nd kiddo. Linvilla is a great place to visit in the Fall for apple picking, hayrides and their Pumpkinland event. Everyone enjoyed chatting and trying some yummy Fall treats.

I cover most of Bucks County, cities like New Hope, Newtown, Doylestown, Langhorne, Jamison, Bensalem, and many others, a part of Philadelphia County, Southern Montgomery County, and a part of NJ that is bordering Bucks County.
I have experience working with people of different backgrounds, ages, and cultures. I like to organize interesting events, volunteer with Au Pairs and keep my Au Pairs happy. We have been volunteering with Au Pairs at the International Spring Festival many times. Working with the Go Au Pair agency’s team, my host families, and Au Pairs is a very rewarding experience. Simply, I enjoy my work as a LAR.

Picnics at the Independence National Historical Park have been the Au Pairs’ favorite meetings! They make new friends, share their experience, enjoy international cuisine, take many photos and create new memories. There is also a great opportunity to learn about American history and culture because the picnics locate near the Independence National Historical Hall, the birthplace of the United States. After the meeting the Au Pairs usually visit many Philadelphia landmarks together.
