The Peace of Mind Guarantee!
- Price guarantee - we know that families are most concerned about the quality of our program but in these uncertain times, affordability is also an important factor. We have committed to keeping our prices stable for the entirety of 2009. While other au pair agencies are increasing prices, you know that with Cultural Care you have a price guarantee. Cultural Care Au Pair continues to deliver the highest quality program at the most affordable price.
- Program continuation guarantee - we understand that if a parent suffers an involuntary job loss, the main priority of that parent will be to secure a new job. Throughout this process, the family will need reliable childcare. In addition, it is always Cultural Care Au Pair’s goal to maintain the stability of the au pair/host family relationship. For these reasons, we will offer those families who suffer an involuntary job loss the opportunity to receive the standard contractual refund and to keep their au pair until the end of her program term.
- Financial safeguard guarantee - in the event that a family is forced to make the decision to withdraw from the program as a result of an involuntary job loss, Cultural Care will refund the unused portion of their program fees. Cultural Care will then make every reasonable effort to replace the au pair with a new family so she may complete her program term.
Peace of Mind is essential these days and while other agencies may offer one or two of the above options, only Cultural Care protects you in all three of these important ways. Families who apply or re-apply on or after March 1, 2009 are eligible for this new program. Some terms and conditions apply.
Host Family Referral Program
Host families just like yours have earned great program fee discounts by referring their friends and family to Cultural Care Au Pair. New this year, you can also choose a cash bonus once the family you refer welcomes an au pair!
The best part? It’s so easy. You just send families’ contact information our way and we do the rest. We’ll educate your referrals about our program. You earn $10 for each referral and an additional $250 when a family welcomes an au pair. Altogether, you can save up to $2,600!* If sharing the gift of flexible, affordable childcare with other parents is so easy and the payoff so big, wouldn’t you like to be a part of it too?
How to save
Each time you submit a referral online or by mail, we’ll offer you your choice of:
-A credit towards your Cultural Care program fee! ($10 for each referral)
-An online gift certificate to amazon.com! ($10 for each referral)
In addition, each time one of the families you refer joins our program and welcomes an au pair into their home, you receive a $250 program fee discount OR a $250 cash bonus. If all 10 referrals welcome Cultural Care au pairs into their homes, that’s a $2,600 savings for your family! (Your referred families also benefit - we’ll give them a $200 program fee discount!)
