Please voice your support for J-1 exchange programs

I have very important news and would like to share the following announcement from InterExchange Au Pair USA:

“J-1 programs are in danger, and it’s more important than ever to share how important the program is to participants, hosts, and local communities.
The Trump Administration is considering eliminating the J-1 visa program and all the opportunities provided to exchange visitors. It is very important to share how important the program is to host families and local communities. You may call your local Representative or Senator, or send this letter asking them to contact the White House and urge that J-1 international exchange programs NOT be included in the “Buy American, Hire American” implementation.”

Please read The Wall Street Journal’s article for details.

Japanese Male Au Pair is available

Have you considered a male au pair for your family?

There are not many male au pairs, BUT, I would say some host families are definitely in need of a male au pair. If you are one of them, we currently have a male au pair seeking a host family to be matched.

Atsushi is 25 years old and has been working as a social worker for few years and has experience with childcare as well. I met with him in Tokyo this summer, and he is a polite and kind person.

For information about the currently available Japanese au pairs, please click the following link.

Most of the male au pairs have related academic and work experiences. Most of them are daily drivers, love to play sports, cheerful, and many of them like to cook.
