Kristy Gerke, Neighbor

I am the new community counselor for Au Pair in America. My cluster (area) includes northern Oakland county. I am trying to grow this cluster by getting the word out to families about the advantages of having an au pair provide not only childcare but bring a new culture into the home.

My background is in journalism, marketing, and counseling so this is a great fit for me. I love working with families and young adults. I also enjoy travel and learning about new cultures.

I am a married mother of two children, 10 and 6, and I live in Oxford.
