With so many parks, playgrounds, museums, and other fun and educational venues for children right in your backyard, your little ones will reap more of the benefits of living in such a stimulating and child-friendly area.
- Develop your children’s international language skills! Hosting an au pair is a unique way to combine child care and foreign language learning With the constant exposure to another language, children will pick up new vocabulary and speaking skills quickly in their daily interactions with their au pair. Whether parents are looking to develop a language currently spoken in the home or introduce a new international language to their children, having an au pair who speaks that language living in the home and caring for the children offers them a valuable learning opportunity.
- Open your children’s eyes to the world! As a diverse city with an arts and culture scene, Huntsville offers the community exposure to different background and traditions. By hosting an au pair, parents can go a step further and bring international culture into their own home, broadening their children’s worldview and helping them to develop an awareness and appreciation for other cultures.

Testimonials
“I was in need of flexible and reliable childcare for my 2 daughters because of my flexible work schedule. It was also important to me that they would be with someone who will care and bond with them like a family member. I found all this in our Au Pair, and much more.” – Judith Farhood, Host Mom
“After having twins, I was nervous about going back to work, and wanted to make sure I was leaving them in good hands. I wanted to avoid daycare to reduce their exposure to illnesses and for them to be with someone who would care for them as family. My coworkers with kids in daycare are constantly dealing with daycare closures, or their kids getting sick. Our Au Pair has been a wonderful addition to our family, and is like an aunt to our girls. I am so glad we went with Au Pair in America, it has been a fantastic experience for our family.” – Heather Hollis, Host Mom
