Laurie Murlick, Local Childcare Consultant, Cultural Care Au Pair

Laurie Murlick, Local Childcare Consultant, Cultural Care Au Pair I provide year-round support to host families and au pairs, and also talk to families considering th Choosing childcare is no easy decision.

Because as parents, we don’t ever want to compromise on quality, flexibility and trust when finding care for the most important people in the world. Hosting a Cultural Care au pair gives thousands of families across the country those very important benefits. I invite you to learn more about who our au pairs are, what they do, and why more families than ever are joining our program. For over 25 yea

rs, Cultural Care Au Pair has helped host families across the country secure childcare that provides flexibility, trust and cultural exchange. Our families love welcoming au pairs year after year. Cultural Care au pairs are carefully screened young adults from over 25 countries worldwide who have childcare experience, CPR and First Aid certification and an interest in joining an American family for a year. FLEXIBILITY
An au pair can provide up to 45 hours per week of childcare (up to 10 hours per day) on a schedule you decide, including early morning, evening and weekend coverage. Au pairs can also care for your children when they are sick, out from school on snow days and during school vacations. Families with busy schedules love hosting au pairs! TRUST
Because an au pair lives with you as a member of your family, your relationship with her develops quickly and mutual trust happens much faster than with a daycare provider or live-out nanny. After an initial period of adjustment, our host parents describe feeling a deep sense of comfort knowing their children are cared for by someone they know and respect. CULTURE
Au pairs come from many countries all over the world and can expose your entire family to their language and culture. Your children will learn words in your au pair’s native tongue and well as songs and games from her home country. Au pairs also help children gain a renewed appreciation for their own environment and a desire to see more of the world. PROTECTION
Cultural Care Au Pair is a government-regulated program, meaning there are guidelines in place designed to protect both families and au pairs during the exchange year. It also means that au pairs travel to the U.S. on a legal J-1 visa, allowing them to stay in the country (and with your family) for up to two years.

Snow day reality check ❄️

School is closed, meetings still on, kids bouncing off the walls… and suddenly you’re trying to do everything at once.

This is honestly why we chose an au pair. It’s live-in childcare, so no scrambling when weather hits. The kids get consistency, routine, and someone they truly bond with — you actually pick the person who joins your family.

All candidates are fully screened, regulated, and trained, and they become part of your household — sharing language, culture, and day-to-day life with your kids. They can help up to 45 hours/week, and the cost starts around $1,785/month per family (not per child), which made it more doable for us than multiple sitters or last-minute coverage.

On days like today, I’m extra grateful we don’t have to figure it out — it’s already handled. 💕
Happy to share more if anyone’s curious.
