[quote=Anonymous]Astar Education Institute located in Northern VA/Wash DC is the best program I have found so far for quality au pairs.  They work conjunction with the au pair company named Au Pair 4 Me but there is a whole layer to this program that makes the candidates SOO much better than anything else I've found.   They find nursing students and teachers from countries in Eastern Europe, China and India who have a specific degree program in mind instead of just using an au pair program to come to the US for a year or two.  The Au Pairs earn a certification from Astar to become a nursing assistant at the same time they are doing the au pair program so there is twice the motivation to stay in the same area during the whole program, otherwise they will risk not completing the certification program.

Most of their candidates also have a teaching background in a classroom setting and some have even participated in a teacher exchange program in the US so they are much more familiar with living in the American culture and working with American kids.  It has also made the care more conducive to growth because as teachers they understand the developmental needs and are better at thinking up creative things to do that don't include watching TV!!!
