Category: Japanese Au Pair

I know it is just January, and normally, for au pair matching, it should be still quiet and slow. BUT this year is definitely different.
I see multiple host families seeking Japanese au pairs and started searching their au pairs.
So, if you would like to have an au pair for summer this year, it is not too early. It may be a good idea to start reviewing au pairs’ profiles.

As a fact, several of my au pairs who completed their applications are hoping to arrive in the USA in summer 2017. The earlier, the better for sure.

At the same time, I do also have au pairs who are ready to arrive to the US immediately.

I would say this year, I have more variety compare to previous years in terms of au pairs’ experiences. It is truly interesting. I have, of course, preschool or kindergarten teachers with few years of experiences. I have repeat au pairs who decided to try again. I have nurses who have been taking care of children as well. Don’t forget! I have male au pairs. Our male au pairs like cooking, friendly, and love sports. If you have boys, a male au pair may be something to think about.

We will do our best to have our au pairs complete their applications and place their profiles ready as quickly as we can. We are also planning to have an au pair seminar in March in Tokyo.

We are looking forward to sending more au pairs this year!

If you are thinking about welcoming a Japanese au pair to your family, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The new year has started. In 2017, we are hoping to send more Japanese au pairs to the United states.

I am working on new applications now. In shortly, you will see their profiles.

Au Pair Seminar in Tokyo will be scheduled in March 2017.

We are organizing a seminar for Japanese applicants to provide practical knowledge on how to become an au pair in the US, as well as conducing in-person interviews for those who would like to finish their au pair applications.

If you are looking for an au pair from Summer 2017, we will increase more applications by conducting the seminar in March, so that those applicants can match with you and come for summer 2017.

I will keep you posted!

Many of Japanese au pairs’ desired arrival time is Spring 2017 or later. So it is absolutely not too early to start looking at profiles of currently available au pairs.

Currently Available Japanese Au Pairs for USA

 

It has been five years since I started recruiting Japanese nationals to the U.S. Au Pair program. Over the years, I have realized more Japanese nationals, especial girls, are experiencing study or work abroad before applying for the au pair in the U.S.

Popular program is, of course, Working Holiday program in Australia or Canada. Participants live, study and work during the program for one year, and they learn to speak in English. Growing number of Japanese nationals are those who are currently in outside Japan, or just returned back from those countries.

I found out people who already experienced studying or living overseas tend to have successful au pair life in the U.S. It maybe because they have already overcome homesickness, and learned how to deal with issues with people from different backgrounds. Language ability is always a plus to understand each other.

I understand the longer the childcare experience is, the better, in general.

BUT, please take a look at an au pair’s profile with less childcare hours compare to those who have thousands of childcare hours. Do not hesitate to start communication and see if the au pair is a good fit for your family.

Some au pairs have experienced homestay in other countries, and associated with host children. They know what does it mean by living with a host family.

Even though, one may not have formal childcare hours, BUT if she/he has younger siblings, they tend to be a good at taking care of children, because they are getting used to playing with siblings for years.

So, please start conversation with Japanese au pairs!

Currently we have a variety of Japanese au pairs available to match with wonderful host families like you!
