As a Community Representative with Au Pair in America, you will play a vital role in supporting and guiding both au pairs and host families throughout their exchange experience. This position is remote with flexible hours and includes local travel within an assigned geographic area. The role is fee-based, with estimated annual earnings ranging from $7,750 to $9,819 paid per completed activity, with an annual servicing fee prorated and paid on a bi-weekly basis. Your responsibilities will include acting as a program liaison, ensuring that all placements adhere to Department of State regulations, and helping to cultivate meaningful cultural relationships. This role is ideal for individuals with backgrounds in education, counseling, cultural exchange, or social work.

In this part-time position, you will be entrusted with onboarding and training duties, which include completing required webinars, training calls, and online courses within the first two months from your start date. You will also comply with ongoing training requirements and attend annual refresher sessions to stay updated on program standards and policies. Your monitoring responsibilities involve conducting both in-home and virtual meetings with host families and au pairs in your designated cluster area, maintaining regular contact, and submitting detailed reports in compliance with governmental regulations. Furthermore, you will provide essential support on cultural adjustment issues, help with educational enrollment, resolve conflicts, and offer interim housing assistance in emergency situations if necessary.

Community engagement will be a major component of your role. Planning monthly cultural meetups for au pairs, organizing an annual Host Family Day, and promoting APIA through local outreach, social media, and community networking are all key aspects. You will also guide prospective host families through the application and matching process and represent APIA at local community events and marketing opportunities.

Working remotely from your home office, you will have the flexibility to manage your schedule based on family and au pair needs as well as reporting deadlines. However, local travel is required for conducting in-person visits and attending community and orientation events. A reliable vehicle is essential, with the travelling radius generally within an hour’s drive from your location. APIA ensures a supportive work environment with comprehensive benefits for full-time employees, including 401(k) plans with Roth and employer match options, fitness reimbursements, educational and language learning reimbursements, and health insurance. By joining Au Pair in America, you will become part of a meaningful mission to build cultural bridges and provide invaluable support in the cross-cultural exchange process.
