Good afternoon!

My name is T. Lederman and I am the USA Au Pair DFW Coordinator. I see that you are looking gor a nanny. Would you be interested in an Au Pair?

Au pairs are foreign exchange students, young women (and men), ages 18-26 primarily from Europe & Latin America, that want to spend a year or more with an American family. They are fluent in English as well as their native language.

In exchange for a private room, board, a weekly stipend and an annual educational allowance of $500 they'll provide up to 45 hours of childcare (and related childcare duties) as a live-in nanny. They are in the USA on legal visas and can also travel domestically or abroad with minimal paperwork. They are required to attend monthly au pair meetings, and obtain 6 hours of credit from an accredited school/college annually. They are screened, medically insured and experienced.

Here is just a short list of what our Au Pairs can do.
* Quality Coverage for up to 45 hours per week (you set the schedule!)
* Weekends/Nights are Possible
* Au Pairs handle Children's meals, laundry and clean up
* Children are exposed to new language and culture
* Most Au Pairs drive (so children's activities, school, etc. are easier to handle)
* They live-in -- so snow days / sick days are not a problem!
* Continuous local support for your local counselor
* Our Agency handles visas, flights, etc.
* Au Pairs usually stay one year -- but new rules allow them to choose an extra year.
* Our Au Pair Program is regulated by the U.S. Dept. of State, they are here on a J-1 visa

All Au Pairs:
*Participate in a careful screening process
*Are qualified 18 to 26 years old
*Are proficient in English
*Participate in an orientation and training program
*Enjoy children and have previous experience
*Express a sincere interest in living with an American family for a year
*Have successfully completed their country's secondary education
*The entire program is overseen by the U.S. Dept. of State!!

If for some reason the Au Pair needs to leave or you and your family are not happy with the fit, a different Au Pair might be hired for the extension of the program. We offer both a full year program and a summer Au Pair program. Host Families on the full year program have the option to extend their au pair's stay longer if needed.

Can they drive? Do we need to provide a car?
Drivers are a frequent request and they're certainly available. However, there is no need to provide a dedicated vehicle. Having access to a car for their duties is convenient for many households that don't have mass transit options nearby. If you're located in an urban area with public transport then a non-driving au pair could work as well.

Costs: Please see bellow the 12 year program fees:
1) A $177 weekly stipend
2) Annual educational allowance of $500

3) $300 application fee

4) $2500 deposit

5) $4550 program fee balance.

Right now, we are offering a $1000 off regular program fees so it comes out roughly at $314 a week and $42 a day!

Please feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to assist with any other questions that you might have.

Have a wonderful week!

T.

Hi! I will be leaving my current nanny position in April and I am looking for a full or part time position starting anytime after. I have about ten years childcare experience and excellent references. I am, however, about four months pregnant, so I am seeking a position that would allow me to bring my baby to work with me, as well as take a short maternity leave in August. I completely understand if that is not a desirable situation for you and your family, but if you are interested in finding out more information about me, please feel free to me email me at ____@____.com. Thank you and congratulations on your new baby girl!

Hello! I have never "nannied" before but I have been caring for children for most of my life. I have been wanting to find a nanny or nanny-type job. I live in Frisco, but the drive to Addison would not be an unreasonable drive for me. If you are looking for full-time care, I would charge $500-$600/week. In addition to caring for, playing with, and loving on your child, I could do light housework, light cooking, errands, etc. I also lead a mommy group which meets twice a month. So, your child would be able to interact with other chidren as well. I do have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter, but that would not in any way hinder me from giving your daughter all the attention she needs and deserves. I am quite experienced with attending to more than one child and making sure they both have all their needs met and feel loved. I am absolutely willing to submit to drug testing, background check, and anything else you feel you would need to be comfortable with me caring for your child. I would also be willing to work on a trial basis so that you can observe interactions between myself and your daughter (and my daughter) before making a decision. My daughter is used to being around babies and knows to be gentle and quiet when necessary. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to know anything else about me or would like to meet with me, or just talk to me on the phone. I understand choosing someone to care for your child is a very important decision and you must do everything you can to ensure you choose the right person. I will work with you so that you feel comfortable and can be at peace. Also, if you decide to hire me, we can work together to create a contract, rules, and schedule that we both find acceptable. I will listen to how you want your child raised, what values you are working to instill, and work to make sure I promote those same values. I would be happy to offer any advice that you may seek, but would never push you to accept my advice. Please consider contacting me with any questions. I will not be offended at any personal questions; I believe that you have a right to know the person caring for your child and I am an honest and open person. I am looking forward to hopefully hearing from you and building a relationship with you and your precious baby. Of course, I can provide a resume and many personal and professional references.
