Summer au pair

It is about this time each year that parents begin to ask the same question, "What will the kids be doing for the summer?" For parents who have busy schedules, it can be challenging to meet summer child care needs for school-aged children. Some parents mix and match from assorted options: a week with the grandparents, a week at day camp, two weeks of activities through the town's recreation department. By the time it's all said and done, parents need a holiday from summer holiday. But one Kent au pair agency is hoping to bring a unique solution to the area in order to help meet the needs of local parents — a summer au pair.
