"Our experience with Karima has been so wonderful!
There’s just an extra level of comfort knowing that your kids are being cared for by someone who genuinely loves them and doesn’t approach it as just another job."
—Chieze, host mom in MA

"We are so happy we discovered Cultural Care!
We get childcare help, but even more than that we treasure the exchange with our au pair from Colombia. Our children are learning Spanish, we're learning about new foods and traditions, and we get to share our language and culture in return."
—Kristin, host mom in NJ

"I remember when I felt deeply that she had become a part of our family. We were talking about her life back in Germany.
She loved telling stories about her godson and treasured the special role she played in his life. Although I’m not a religious person, I asked her to be the honorary godmother for Aiden and Asha. She responded with tears of joy. Then and now, I still feel chills knowing how much she loves my children."
—Annie, host mom in NC

"The Cultural Care Au Pair program has changed our lives.
My husband and I have four kids 10 and under and live far from family. [With an au pair], as parents we are more fulfilled, and the kids are cared for. It is a perfect fit for our family dynamic."
—Zana, host mom in CA

"Our girls were recently learning about their ethnic identity at school, as part of the social justice curriculum
And when asked about their ethnic heritage they said, ‘We are Brazilian’. Although Dan and I both have North European ancestry, who are we are argue? That’s the beauty of the au pair program—thanks to Ina, they are little Brazilians!"
—Carrie, host mom in WA

"Since Cami has arrived in our home, it has been filled with music, laughter, Colombian food, and dancing!
Spanish flows often through our home, accompanied with music and singing. Even our shy 3-year-old son has broken out of his shell, and has been spotted salsa dancing on multiple occasions! She has quickly become part of our family, and we can't imagine what we would do without her."
—Nicole, host mom in CA
