Interview with Heidi Woehl, Vice President of Au Pair Care
Hi Edina, loved the interview with Ms. Woehl. I am with AuPairCare but never knew who was VP of the agency. She looks so young and what a very nice family. I got a lot of reassuring information about screening and the length of time staff are at the agency. When things are run well, people stay at a company. That always bodes well!

Exclusive Interview with the Vice President of Au Pair Care, Heidi Woehl
Heidi Woehl has been the VP of Au Pair Care since 1997.
In our interview, Heidi talks about what makes Au Pair Care one of the leading au pair agencies in the industry, au pair trends, host family changes over the years, most popular au pairs today and how her agency meets the challenges of providing excellent customer service and well-screened au pairs.
What Heid Woehl has to say about Customer Service
Woehl: Au Pair Care has been sponsoring au pairs since 1989 and over the past 20 years our program has gone from sponsoring a few 100 au pairs to several thousand annually. We are one of the largest agencies in the U.S. I am also very proud to say that the majority of Au Pair care managers have been with the company for over 15 years (including myself)...We've focused on growing the program steadily and responsibly so we can provide great service across the country.
Au Pair Trends
Woehl: Au pair trends do continually change. When the Department of State first created the au pair program, the majority of au pairs were recruited from European countries - England and Ireland were the most popular countries. In the 1990's, as Eastern Europe began to open up, the industry saw an increase in au pairs coming from countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Hungary. A few years ago, countries such as Brazil and other South American countries began recruiting even larger numbers of au pairs.
Host Family Trends
Woehl: We are serving more families who have more children and lots more families with multiples! Hosting an au pair is a very affordable and practical solution for larger families...
