Our daughter attended YPLC for over 2 years. We appreciated the age-sensitive transitions from playtime to more structured learning. She is still friends with some of the children from her classes there and she was well prepared for kindergarten. She also attends their summer fun camp programs. The owners are there every day and know each child by name. This is a great mix of professional, skilled teachers and personalized attention in a caring environment. We have enjoyed working with the owners and staff at YPLC. ...read more

What is an Au Pair?

What is an Au Pair? An au pair is a young adult from another country who lives with your family and provides in-home childcare services. Au pairs work up to 45 hours per week, in exchange for the opportunity to live with an American family. Because au pairs providelive-in childcare, they offer more flexibility and can care for your child at times that accommodate your family's schedule. All Au Pair Care au pairs: Have extensive childcare experience Speak conversational English Have completed a secondary education Are between 18 to 26 years old Families canselect au pairsbased on nationality, language, age, driving skills, gender and special abilities such as swimming, cooking, sports and music.

Here are some things that differentiate Au Pair Care au pairs from other childcare options: Au Pair Responsibilities- In addition to childcare services, an au pair provides busy parents with a much needed, extra set of hands. An au pair's duties include childcare and light housekeeping related to childcare. Nannies vs. Au Pairs- An au pair is much more than a nanny. An au pair lives in your home and becomes a part of your extended family while acting as a loving caregiver for younger children and a big sister to older children. You can also learn about the value and benefits of an au pair vs. otherchildcare services.
