I was introduced to Susan Wildeboer through a friend when I was starting my au pair search. Susan impressed me with all of her specialized knowledge about the current candidate pool and was very quickly able to make recommendations about what might work best for my family based on her understanding of what I was looking for. Susan has been there for me every step of the way from the initial searching to now matching. I can count on her to respond quickly and provide helpful advice and have recommended her to several friends who are also looking for au pairs. Susan has made my experience so much better, and I'm so thankful to have her help! read more

Susan helped us through the matching process and even provided guidance post-matching as we navigated our relationship with our new au pair. She was willing to talk things through and provided great information for us and our au pair. We cannot recommend Susan enough! read more

This is a LONG overdue review for Susan. We were in a rush to get an au pair after my injury and I could not be more grateful to have been able to work with Susan to find our au pair in record time.

Susan was immensely helpful in helping us understand the au pair role as well as the hiring process. She met with us numerous times and provided outstanding care and information while we were interviewing au pair candidates. This was our first au pair, and so we had obvious questions and some hesitations, to which Susan responded with courtesy and respect. We ended up finding a great au pair that fit with our family, and I believe that is in no small part to Susan's input and guidance. read more

Susan helped us so much in our journey to find an Au pair. She made the whole journey so smooth.

Susan has been incredibly helpful in my family's experience finding an Aupair. I called Susan a year ago right before the holidays, amidst a home remodel and expecting twins.

We found a wonderful match for our family and I know Susan's thoughtful, experienced guidance is responsible for that. read more

She was patient and responsive with all our questions and checked in with us frequently. She had detailed instructions throughout the process including creating our profile.

Susan is phenomenal!!! I was in such a time crunch to find my next au pair (2weeks) that I desperately took to yelp to get some help! Thankfully I came across Susan's page and wow was she such a game changer! She helped get my family profile setup in 3 days! That lead to us finding a new aupair in my area in 2 weeks! She is very knowledgeable and responsive, which is what lacked from the previous program I was with (aupaircare). I am very happy with my experience and service from Culture Care thus far. Thank you so much Susan you are such a life saver!!! read more

Services offered by Susan are of the highest quality you can find. We have experienced several agencies and others do not compare to the support she provides. She guided us through the process of finding an au pair and much more. Once we matched with an au pair, she continued to provide us support whenever needed in a very personable and timely manner. We always felt we had someone to turn to when we had questions or concerns about any part of the process. Her responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs made the overall experience great. read more

Susan assisted me throughout the process with everything I needed even though I'm technically located outside of her area of operation. I cannot recommend enough! read more

She would set up calls a few days apart to check in and gave me great step by step "to do" lists. I highly recommend Susan if you are looking for someone to help you find an au pair. We are so excited to welcome our first one in December! read more

We found Susan on Yelp after being concerned about all of the negative reviews that Au Pair agencies have online. We now understand why she has 5 stars! She was incredibly helpful guiding us through our au pair search, including what things are important to highlight in your profile, what interview questions to ask the au pair, and how transparency and honesty are so important during the process. She was easy to communicate with and made herself available for urgent questions and conversations. I would absolutely recommend Susan for the beginning of any au pair search process. read more

Susan helped us find our current au pair and is the consummate professional throughout the somewhat rocky au pair visa application process during COVID.

I had the pleasure of working with Susan Wildeboer and Cultural Care in finding our first Au Pair. Susan was amazing to work with - so professional, timely, kind, and thorough. Every time I had a question or needed some advice, Susan was there and so thoughtful in her approach and understanding of our family's needs. I was most impressed by her professionalism and her care. She was awesome to work with and I can't recommend her enough - if you are a family that gets to work with Susan - you are going to be well cared for! read more

Susan is absolutely amazing and found us the perfect Aupair for our family. I cant give her enough stars here!! I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking into the Aupair program. I was scared, frazzled, and sleep deprived when I began to look into the Aupair program. I am a single mom of an infant and a toddler and having stable child care was near impossible as it generally is and my situation made it worse as I live in the woods a bit far from town. I was impressed by her knowledge, she knew exactly what to look for in looking for a Aupair for me, living in the woods and a single mom. Not only did she know how to filter through profiles of Aupair and find a great Aupair, Susan went above and beyond and spent a great deal of time getting to know me and my family and our particular way of living and our needs. She coached me to help me write my profile and what to do and not do biased on my desires/needs. She was also very understanding. She was very clear about how the Aupair program works. She was very communicative and super responsive! She quickly responded to any questions I had at anytime no matter how small or trivial, it has been truly a delight to work with her. She found the perfect Aupair for us, and was always checking in to see how we are doing. I still contact her if I have any questions due to how knowledgeable and kind she is.

Susan found our perfect au pair on the first try! She sat down with me on zoom for an hour and really listened to our needs and preferences. She also helped me adjust my profile to reflect better who we are as a family. We thought it was going to be challenging to find someone given our busy and inconsistent schedule and having two kids under two, but we talked to several who were interested in us based on Susans recommendations. Our au pair starts in two months and we are ecstatic! read more

Susan was extremely helpful in matching us with our au pair. The process was completely new to us, but she guided us through each step of the way (literally - she wrote very detailed emails with step-by-step instructions to follow and even helped us complete our host family profile). If I ever had any questions, Susan was available by text, phone call and even zoom which allowed her to share her screen with me so that I could navigate the au pair website with her help. Also, she was able to provide us with a generous discounted price by using her services. We were also on a tight timeline to find an au pair, and Susan was extremely thorough, provided us with realistic deadlines and motivated me to continue my search until it was finalized. In the end, Susan's experience in the field proved invaluable, as her very first suggestion of au pairs based on our family's needs turned out to be the au pair we matched with in the end, who is currently helping care for our children. If you are new to finding an au pair, or even if you are not, I would suggest working with Susan to mind your match. Childcare is stressful enough, and Susan made it as simple as possible for us. Thank you, Susan! read more

She was our first contact years ago when we were thinking about getting a Au Pair and she was so patient, thorough and helpful in answering questions, finding the right match and making sure it was a great experience for the Au Pairs and the host family. This past year, we were with a different mistake and MAN COULD WE TELL THE DIFFERENCE. We are back with Susan now and the level of service, personable interactions and time make all the difference. Truly the best!! read more

Susan is truly outstanding. She welcomed my partner and I into the Au Pair program and helped us figure everything out. The coronavirus crisis hit in the midst of it all and we had so many custom and specific challenges. Susan was with us every step of the way.

We started our AuPair search on an urgent basis. Meaning, we didn't have the luxury of time for our search. We knew we wanted to go with CultureCare and that's about it. We had no idea on how the process worked or what the details entailed. Susan is knowledgeable, professional, and a a true expert. She was able to get to know my husband and I by asking the right question, meeting with us via zoom and FaceTime, and talking to us about our needs.
