Why Virginia families trust Cultural Care

“Sandra has enriched our lives by sharing her Polish culture with us.
This is true cultural exchange childcare in Virginia. She has taught the girls many Polish words and has prepared delicious traditional meals like pierogies and stuffed cabbage. The girls are thrilled that Sandra shares her passion for soccer, especially since she was an accomplished player in Poland and even recruited by the women's national team. Sandra has been nothing short of a miracle and a blessing for our family.”
— Kelly, host mom in Glen Allen, Virginia

1Au pairs pay a smaller program fee to the foreign company that screens them, but no portion of that fee is used to pay for the costs of their international airfare or domestic U.S. transportation. Au pairs may be charged additional fees in the event of special travel requests.
2The U.S. Department of State has determined that au pairs are required to receive from their host families at least $195.75 per week. Host families and au pairs are free to discuss and agree to compensation higher than the required stipend minimum; however, this cannot be in exchange for the au pair exceeding the regulatory limits on working hours (10 hours per day; 45 hours per week) or performing duties beyond childcare-related tasks. The State Department formula is based on the federal minimum wage and applicable room and board credits. Any change in the federal minimum wage or the applicable credits will result in an increase in this minimum stipend amount. Please note, should a family extend beyond the first year, they would be responsible for the stipend for each week of the extension term.
