National Au Pair Consumer Clearinghouse Gives Host Parents an Edge

SAN FRANSCISCO -- A new Internet service is the first consumer clearinghouse that provides parents with third party information on the au pair industry. 

The website offers current and unbiased information on all U.S. au pair agencies: au pair agency reviews, cost analysis comparisons, breaking news on the au pair industry and consumer ratings based on satisfaction surveys.

The website is www.AuPairClearingHouse.com

The number of au pairs coming to the USA is soaring and cost is driving the trend. Au pair agencies charge less than daycare or nanny services for the same number of hours. There is a downside - au pairs are young, may not drive or speak English well and generally do not have much childcare experience. Parents need to choose reliable and government sanctioned agencies and interview au pair agencies carefully.

Au pair agency websites all look alike, present similar material to parents and they can differ greatly in the services they provide to the consumer.  AuPairClearinghouse.com fills in the gaps and provides parents with the information they need to make educated, sound decisions when choosing an agency. 

The service offered to host parents is free. AuPairClearingHouse.com also has a Family Forum where parents can share information and advice; they provide exclusive "inside"  tips on interviewing and hosting au pairs; reviews countries au pairs are recruited from; collects customer surveys, shares consumers' comments, testimonials and complaints and hosts a Blog on au pairs and the au pair industry. 

They just released their newly revised "Top Three Au Pair Agency Picks for 2009."
