Au Pair Care's Au Pair Profiles Page is really great - without signing in or applying to their program, Au Pair Care, the Nation's leading au pair agency (and our Number One Pick for 2009) allows parents to view photos of available au pairs and their answers to three basic and  important questions:  "Tell us about your previous childcare experience;" "What three words would you use to describe yourself?" Why do you want to become an au pair?"

In addition to the au pairs' answers, you can view their Age, Hours of Child Experience, Driving Experience, and Other (for other experience, for example, one au pair wrote in "kindengarten teacher"). Click here to view this page:  http://www.aupaircare.com/host-families/au-pair-profiles.

Under Au Pair Profiles you can also click Featured Country and read about the cultural and customs of the more popular places Au Pair Care recruits from: http://www.aupaircare.com/host-families/au-pair-profiles/featured-country. 

Au Pair Care also lists the winners of their own in-house contest program, called Ultimate Au Pairs, where host families can nominate their au pairs for extraordinary service. You can read parents' nomination entries, look at the runners up and view the winners via a video:  http://www.aupaircare.com/host-families/testimonials/host-family-videos#video.

Au Pair Profiles is a very impressive and useful tool for host parents, with lots of information at your fingertips.  You can view all of this information without registering with their website or applying to their program!
