I'm looking for childcare in the Frisco area for my 8 1/2 month old son. Daycares/in-home/nannies we are open to any suggestions. We could also possibly get by with part-time childcare (2-3 days a week). Does anyone have contact information/suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

What can I do next?

Good afternoon!

My name is T. Lederman and I am the AuPair USA Local Coordinator for the DFW area. I see that you are looking for a nanny. Would you be interested in an AuPair?

Au pairs are foreign exchange students, young women (and men), ages 18-26 primarily from Europe & Latin America, that want to spend a year or more with an American family. They are fluent in English as well as their native language.

In exchange for a private room, board, a weekly stipend and an annual educational allowance of $500 they'll provide up to 45 hours of childcare (and related childcare duties) as a live-in nanny. They are in the USA on legal visas and can also travel domestically or abroad with minimal paperwork. They are required to attend monthly au pair meetings, and obtain 6 hours of credit from an accredited school/college annually. They are screened, medically insured and experienced.

Here is just a short list of what our Au Pairs can do.
* Quality Coverage for up to 45 hours per week (you set the schedule!)
* Weekends/Nights are Possible
* Au Pairs handle Children's meals, laundry and clean up
* Children are exposed to new language and culture
* Most Au Pairs drive (so children's activities, school, etc. are easier to handle)
* They live-in -- so snow days / sick days are not a problem!
* Continuous local support for your local counselor
* Our Agency handles visas, flights, etc.
* Au Pairs usually stay one year -- but new rules allow them to choose an extra year.
* Our Au Pair Program is regulated by the U.S. Dept. of State

All Au Pairs:
*Participate in a careful screening process
*Are qualified 18 to 26 years old
*Are proficient in English
*Participate in an orientation and training program
*Enjoy children and have previous experience
*Express a sincere interest in living with an American family for a year
*Have successfully completed their country's secondary education
*The entire program is overseen by the U.S. Dept. of State!!

We offer both a full year program and a summer Au Pair program. Host Families on the full year program have the option to extend their au pair's stay longer if needed.

Can they drive? Do we need to provide a car?
Drivers are a frequent request and they're certainly available. However, there is no need to provide a dedicated vehicle. Having access to a car for their duties is convenient for many households that don't have mass transit options nearby. If you're located in an urban area with public transport then a non-driving au pair could work as well.

Are you interested? Do you know anyone who might be interested in this wonderful program? If the answer is yes, feel free to contact me, via email or call - I'll be glad to assist. ###-###-####.

Have a wonderful week!

T.

T.,

I HIGHLY recommend Primrose Schools. The two that I have exp. with are both located in Plano... Here is the website so you can go and check it out for yourself.

www.myprimroseschool.com/forestcreek
www.myprimroseschool.com/northplano

These schools are both owned by the same family and are just wonderful! If you want a clean, safe, AWESOME curriculium and just a great place for your child, go tour a Primrose.
