InterExchange | Finding a Japanese au pair

Au Pair Conference in San Diego

I am currently in San Diego, attending annual conference organized by InterExchange Au Pair USA. It is VERY nice weather in San Diego. I cannot believe it is November.

We heard updates relating with Au Pair program in the USA. We are also networking with other International Cooperators around the world sending au pairs to InterExchange.

Tomorrow, we are going to have more sessions and have a discussion with local coordinators.

Attending the au pair conference is very important as we can update knowledge on au pair and J-1 exchange program in the USA. Learning trend and regulations, networking with other companies in other countries are critical items we need to maintain the quality of our work.

We all work hard to bring more au pairs. We care quality as well.

We are looking forward to working with au pairs and send more qualified Japanese au pairs for the next year.

It was very short stay in San Diego, BUT, I enjoyed a lot.

Our Japanese au pairs!

As I mentioned, now you can see our Japanese au pairs on InterExchange Au Pair USA’s public website without applying as a host family. You don’t need to commit to be a host family, yet can see au pairs, actually, ALL currently available au pairs right now through the public web site.

The screenshot of the available au pairs page is below:

The page includes au pair’s photo, childcare hours, driving experience, swimming level and a brief introduction.

When you are interested in several au pairs, then, you can sign-up, but you still don’t need to pay application fee at this point. As a fact, you don’t have any financial obligation until you are matched with an au pair.

So, please start reviewing au pairs, of course, I will have to say Japanese au pairs.

More Japanese au pairs will be added on the page in shortly.

Now our Japanese au pairs are on InterExchange’s public website

How was your summer? Now 2016-2017 academic year has started.

Today, I would like to announce our partner, InterExchange Au Pair USA’s updates on their public website.

Now, you can review shorter profiles of ALL au pairs from featured au pairs page. If you would like to review detailed information, then you can create an account with InterExchange as a host family with no financial obligation.

For example, to see our available Japanese au pairs, you can simply go to InterExchange Au Pair USA’s public website (interexhange.org), and click host an au pair. Now, you will see the featured au pairs link. If you want to see Japanese au pairs, select language as Japanese, then, Japanese speakers will be appeared on the screen. You may even sort the au pairs by age, childcare hours, driving experience, or earliest arrival month! It is great!!

Hope this will help you find an excellent au pair for you.

Introduction

Welcome to our blog, finding a Japanese au pair! I decided to start this blog to write about Japanese au pairs, Japanese culture, and anything I thought I want to introduce to readers.

I think you already know what the au pair program in the USA is. If you don’t know, please go to the following web site to learn more about hosting an au pair. https://www.interexchange.org/become-a-host/au-pair-usa/

I have been assisting Japanese nationals to become au pairs in the U.S. since 2011 as an international cooperator, meaning we are responsible for informing the process of becoming an au pair in the U.S., interviewing the prospective candidates, helping their applications and VISA support for one of the au pair agencies in the US, InterExchange Au Pair USA. We have promoted the au pair program and recruited many Japanese nationals for InterExchange. I feel that the au pair program has been gaining popularity among Japanese people. Four years ago, not many Japanese people knew about Au Pair, but now, people asked me on how to become an au pair. That is a huge improvement.

I have been communicating with Japanese au pairs almost everyday,but, realized, I didn’t have a tool to appeal to host families about Japanese au pairs. That is the reason why I opened this blog. I will tell you about Japanese au pairs, Japanese people (sometimes my personal views) and Japanese culture etc.

Hope this blog will help you understand your Japanese au pair better, or start considering having a Japanese au pair.
