Au Pair Clearinghouse Interviews VP of Largest Au Pair Agency In U.S.
Jun 13, 2011 – Cultural Care VP Natalie Jordan discusses her agency's new focus on Asia as demand for Chinese & Thai au pairs increase: " We realize that au pairs from China and Thailand are very much in demand from American host families and we are thrilled to meet this demand at a higher level of quality. Chinese au pairs can provide cultural connection for families who have adopted children from China as well as address the interest many families have in exposing their children to learning Mandarin. As we know, one of the great benefits of hosting an au pair is the exposure to culture and language and China is one of our more requested countries."
