Hey everyone!

Welcome to my 'HELP FOR AU PAIRS IN THE USA' website.

I've decided to create this website so we (former/current/future au pairs) can help each other out a little bit. You know.. being an au pair is not always easy and I though "Why not to make it at least a little tiny bit easier for us?" 

My idea is that we all could share tips or trick how to be better or how to enjoy our au pair experience. Because I'm pretty sure a lot of you have a lot to share!

So if you'd like to share anything with the rest of us or if there's anything that you're interested in and you would like to see it here, just e-mail me: helpforusaupairs@gmail.com
