Messages from Au Pair Japanese Connections on why you should consider a Japanese au pair.
We did it again! Au Pair Japanese Connection has received Customer Service Award from our US Au Pair partner agency, InterExchange Au Pair USA.
We are so honored to receive this award. We will continue working hard to recruit Japanese au pairs for host families in the world!
It is almost the end of the year! Time goes so fast.
Before we welcome the new year, I attended InterExchange Au Pair USA’s annual conference in November. This year, the conference was taking place in Washington D.C.
I received updates for au pair program, and met with InterExchange staff members, local coordinators and international cooperator like us from the world. I was a great meeting. Thank you, InterExchange!
My company, Au Pair Japanese Connection received Excellence in Cultural Exchange award.
I am thankful that InterExchange recognize our work. We will do our best to send more Japanese au pairs next year.
Rinako is looking for an American host family. She has graduated from a Japanese university in 2018 and her major is Early Childhood Education. So, she has formal education on childcare and had a variety of childcare experiences to earn her bachelor’s degree. She is infant qualified.
She is a cheerful and active person and love to travel. As a fact, she has visited six countries so far.
If you would like to see her full description, please go to InterExchange Au Pair USA’s website.
First go to, Featured Au Pair page where you can select the language that au pairs speak. Select Japanese and you will see Japanese au pairs currently available.
For example, if you like to learn more about Rinako, hit the Learn More, and you will be navigated to leave your information on your inquiry form.
You can start talking with prospective au pairs without any financial obligation. So, let’s start reviewing Japanese au pairs.
I live in Dallas area, not quite but close to Dallas. My partner au pair agency, InterExchange serves host families this area as well. So, I had a good meeting with the local coordinator of Dallas and surrounding cities such as Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Coppell, Flower Mound etc.
Dallas is one of the fastest growing cities in the US. I believe there are many future host families who would love to host au pairs. If you are interested in hosting an au pair, either Japanese or not Japanese, please feel free to contact us. I am willing to refer to the Local Coordinator or LC of this area.
Here is the selfie with the LC in Dallas!
I had a great time in Nashville by attending Au Pair USA Conference. For three days, we discussed J-1 program issues, au pair updates, and building a great network.
There were International Cooperators like us from all over the world, and there were local coordinators who are assisting host families and au pairs everyday. It was an excellent opportunity to meet with local coordinators across the U.S., hearing about how my Japanese au pairs are doing.
Within InterExchange Au Pair USA, Japan ranked the 5th place for arrivals in 2017. Compare to all Au Pair arrivals, Japan is not even ranked in top 10. So, it shows that if you need a Japanese au pair, working with InterExchange will increase a chance to meet with an excellent au pair for you.
Au Pair Japanese Connection will do our very best to promote the U.S. Au Pair program to Japanese young people and increase the number of arrivals even more for the year 2018.
I am VERY excited to visit Nashville this week. There is an au pair conference organized by InterExchange Au Pair USA, our partner institution.
I will meet other international cooperators recruiting au pairs in many different countries, and of course I will meet InterExchange’s local coordinators and staff members. I would love to hear how my Japanese au pairs are doing. I will hear updates on au pair regulations and J-1 VISA issues.
I am confident that it will be productive three days.
Dear host families in the United States, please also read the Au Pair Mom blog.
Let’s work together to defend the au pair program.
This blog contains information on how to defend the au pair program and clearly stating the importance of the program in the United States as a host family or mom’s point of view.
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.
Our partner, InterExchange Au Pair USA has released the 2018 au pair and host family matching/arrival calendar.
Please click the link and review next year’s arrival dates.
It is still August, but we have started working on the next year’s matching. So, you may want to start thinking about the next year as well. It is not too early.
If you have any questions on Japanese au pairs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are having a very busy matching season this year. When a new application becomes available, the profile is immediately viewed by a host family.
Japanese au pairs are constantly on-viewed by host families.
We are working hard to push new applications. If you would like to have a Japanese au pair but don’t see any available profiles, please feel free to contact us.
We had a great news from InterExchange that a new arrival date for au pairs has been added. There were originally three arrival dates in August, but now there are four. It means, au pairs will arrive almost every week.
I will organize two au pair seminars in Tokyo and Osaka in June. Hope I can recruit many Japanese au pairs.
