Meet Erin, Director of Sales

"I’ve been with Cultural Care Au Pair for 12 years and have been a proud host mom to four au pairs. My kids now have big sisters from around the world, which has deepened my passion for travel and cultural exchange. I love sharing this experience with families interested in the au pair program. Outside of work, I’m a foodie, movie buff, and yoga teacher. I enjoy spending time in nature and traveling with my husband, three kids, and our Australian Shepherd, Ginny."
