Au Pair Agency Summer Discounts!

The hot days of summer are here! Across the nation, we are experiencing record heat waves and this just adds to parents' stress as they scramble for childcare in the summer months.

TIP: did you know that most, if not all, au pair agencies offer substantial discounts in the summer? June, July and August are the busiest months for au pair agencies, as most host parents and au pairs find each other and match for the next 12 months.

Agencies try to attract families to their programs by offering great discounts and July is an excellent time to cash in on these savings!

For example, CHI Au Pair, one of the smallest agencies located in California, is running a great Summer Special: CHI Au Pair USA is offering the following discounts this summer!

Application fee of $100 waived AND
Additional $500 off your program fees

If you fit into one of the categories below, you are eligible for the summer discount:

Repeat Host Families who place with a new Au Pair within six months of the departure of their previous Au Pair.
Switch Host Families who have switched to CHI Au Pair USA from another U.S based Au Pair agency
Direct placement Family who has already found their own Au Pair, who is not enrolled with CHI Au Pair USA

In order to receive the discount, host families must sign up and complete their payment authorization prior to Labor Day 2012. Discount only applies to 12 month out of country au pairs.
