Hosting an au pair is a big decision—and like any big decision, it helps to hear from someone who’s done it. That’s exactly why we created Au Pairs Unpacked, a new podcast by Cultural Care made just for host families—and future host families—about the highs and hurdles of hosting an au pair. Whether you’re in the early stages of exploring the program or already have an au pair in your home, these episodes will give you the clarity and confidence you need to navigate the journey with ease—and maybe even find a few laughs along the way.
Each week, we sit down with host parents from across the U.S. to talk about what the hosting experience is really like. Think: the good, the hard, the hilarious. From managing the first few days to navigating language barriers, welcoming new cultural traditions, and forming unexpected bonds, Au Pairs Unpacked tells the story of host families in all their beautifully imperfect glory—and the au pairs that have changed their lives.
