Go Au Pair Providence Wants to Volunteer!

Calling all community organizations! Our small group of au pairs and Host Families in Rhode Island is interested in volunteering with or for you! Contact me to set up an event in the next month or two! If you are a RI family in need of childcare right away, consider hosting an au pair - some can start ASAP because they are already here!

Our counterparts in Philadelphia and Bucks County have been volunteering at many community events, crossing language and cultural barriers all over Pennsylvania! I have offered our assistance to join them with any long-distance events, such as Operation Smile service projects. Polina, my Local Area Representative counterpart, was my roomy last summer in Utah, and she has a great spirit of volunteerism which she brings to her au pair cluster in PA. Let's bring some of that enthusiasm to Rhode Island!

What we really need is an organization in Barrington or a nearby community to ask us for help. RI au pairs and Host Families are available for clean-up projects, active family events, or whatever you might have in mind. We also travel into Southern MA, if you need our services in Seekonk, Swansea, or other nearby communities.

Are you a RI organization or local group who would like to add a cultural aspect to your event? Would the people in your organization benefit from meeting some international childcare providers? Go Au Pair Providence wants to attend your event and be of assistance in YOUR community.

Our agency is a full-service au pair agency for over 25 years. Full and part time au pairs are available from over 50 countries, for as little as $7.31 per hour for up to 45 hours per week! Live-in au pairs provide more than just childcare, too. Child-related household tasks can be part of his or her duties in your home. Add those to the flexible scheduling, long-term placements up to two years, and the lifelong benefits and friendships your child cannot find in a daycare. You might consider au pair childcare for your kids this spring and summer - local families are eligible for our best discount yet.

Have you obtained a written offer from another au pair agency? Go Au Pair will beat or match that offer! Our au pairs provide skilled, reliable childcare to your children ages 12 weeks and up. Start interviewing multiple au pairs next week! Apply online and get started right away! Contact me with your questions about the Au Pair Program.

My name is Joan Lowell, your Local Area Representative in RI; contact me to arrange a volunteer experience this spring or summer. I can be reached anytime at jlowell@goaupair.com or call me at 401.309.1925 (sprint cellular).
