For 20 years, Cultural Care Au Pair's childcare and cultural exchange program has offered families flexible, live-in childcare with a unique international perspective. For only $320/week (per family, not per child), your au pair provides 45 hours of childcare and lives with you as a member of your family. Your children benefit from a one-to-one committed and caring companion and you can customize your childcare coverage according to your own schedule.
Over the past 18 years Dr. Sharon Thomas-Parker has worked with Cultural Care Au Pair in the Maryland/Washington DC areas. Initially starting as a host family (Sharon is a mother of twins, Danielle & Derek, Jr.) with a group of 4 au pairs in 1991. Sharon’s family hosted au pairs for over 10 years from France, Switzerland, England, Czech Republic and a multitude of other countries. Her family has had the opportunity to travel abroad to visit the homes of several of their former au pairs in France, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
Initially Sharon’s mission was to spread the word to American families in the Baltimore area that if they wanted flexible, affordable childcare then they should host an au pair. The momentum quickly grew and the number of au pairs in Baltimore soared to over 100 in just a few short years. In 2007, Sharon was one of ten au pair coordinators recognized for posses high standards, proving excellent service, value compliance and a push for growth while being evaluated on service, sales and compliance. In 2008 Sharon was one of eighteen Local Childcare Coordinators from across the country to again be honored as a member of the Cultural Care Golden Heart League. Again, in 2009 Sharon was one of twenty-eight LCC’s to be honored and will attend an international summit in Ireland this year to celebrate her success with Cultural Care Au Pair.
Sharon holds a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration, a Master’s in Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. In addition to her extensive au pair placement experience she has developed a niche for working with parents of multiples, minority families, single parents and several other infinity groups. Sharon’s reach has gone beyond the Maryland/DC areas and she now works with families from across the nation looking to host au pairs and would welcome the opportunity to assist your family in finding a wonderful au pair. She currently has a wonderful group of host families and au pairs that she takes great pride in supporting!

Dr. Sharon Thomas-Parker change our lives from chaos to complete control when she found Stephanie from South Africa for our family. Stephanie, was a god sent and then when it was time for her to go home, we did not think that we could every replace her. We called Dr. Parker again, crying and she told us that she had the perfect match for our family again! I was suspicious, I did not believe that it could happen again. Well, I am here to say that Dr. Parker did it again! We are so grateful for her helping us, and I know that next year she will pick again another great au pair for us!
