Do not hire an au pair without reading this book!

Oh My, Au Pair! A Complete Guide to Hiring and Hosting an Au Pair is a must-have guide for any family who has ever struggled to find good child care. Now, parents in need of some extra help have an honest, up-to-date resource from which to learn about all aspects of the au pair program—the good and the bad!

Based on her experience hosting fourteen au pairs, working mom Nancy Felix explains the au pair program, answering all the important questions:

  • Who are au pairs?
  • How is an au pair different than a nanny?
  • How can you avoid a disastrous au pair “cultural exchange”?
  • How does hiring an au pair compare with a babysitter, daycare or nanny?

Because a happy au pair means a happy host family, Felix explains how to successfully host an au pair to have a rewarding experience for the whole family. From how to choose the right au pair agency to preparing and conducting telephone interviews you’ll know everything you need to select the au pair best suited for your family.

Whether you are trying to decide if an au pair is right for your family or you have hosted before and want a better experience this time, Oh My, Au Pair! is a must-read!
