Building your Professional Experience
Professional au pairs have been placed in a variety of families with special needs here in the Boulder/Denver area. These include autism spectrum disorder, chromosomal abnormalities, and severe food intolerances. Professional aupairs have gained experience in promoting social skills in their host children and increasing participation in school and enrichment activities.
