National Consumer Clearinghouse on Au Pair Industry Gives Parents an Edge when Hosting Au Pairs
CA, April 2, 2009 - A new Internet service is the first consumer clearinghouse that provides parents with information on the au pair industry. AuPairClearingHouse.com offers updated and relevant information on au pair agencies, writes au pair agency reviews, provides cost analysis comparisons, cites federal government au pair agency rules and regulations, and compiles current news stories about au pairs and the au pair industry.
The number of au pairs coming to the USA is soaring and cost is driving the trend. Au pair agencies charge less than daycare or nanny services for the same number of hours. There is a downside - au pairs are young, may not drive or speak English well and generally do not have much childcare experience. Parents need to choose reliable and government sanctioned agencies and interview au pairs carefully. Au pair agency websites all look alike and present similar material to parents. AuPairClearinghouse.com fills in the gaps and provides the consumer information parents need to make educated, sound decisions when hiring an au pair
The service offered to host parents is free. The website offers a Family Forum where parents can share information and advice; creates a yearly "Top Au Pair Picks;" offers tips on interviewing and hosting au pairs; describes different countries and their cultural differences;
