Valli Murphy

A warm welcome to Au Pair USA!

My name is Valli Murphy and I am the Au Pair USA Local Coordinator in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. My experiences in the au pair world began years ago when my family hosted our first au pair, and it was a fantastic experience. I started working as a Local Coordinator for Au Pair USA back in 1994, and since then, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with hundreds of wonderful Northwestern New Jersey host families as well as au pairs from all over the world!

I’ve been immersed in cultural exchange my entire life. I was raised in Greece and Italy before moving to the U.S. I’m also a professional cross-cultural trainer and I specialize in cultural awareness and communication. I’m dedicated to helping each au pair achieve a meaningful educational experience with their host family.

Becoming a host family can be a wonderful cultural experience for your family, but you may not realize that it can also be a solution to finding affordable live-in child care. The cost of hosting an au pair averages $340 per week, with no per-child fees. Au pairs also provide flexibility for busy parents. You can set up a daily or weekly child care schedule with your au pair, but it’s nice to have the additional peace of mind of knowing that a responsible au pair is there at home to help when things don’t go according to plan.

I work closely with each host family, and I’m available to answer any questions that you might have. We have a wonderful “cluster” of host families here in Northwestern New Jersey, and I hope that you’ll consider joining Au Pair USA. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance or answer any questions. If you’re ready to apply, check out our online host family application.

I’m looking forward to a fabulous year with you and your family.

Kind regards,
Valli
