Meet Ben and Chloe Olsen* from Orange County, CA. The Olsen’s always knew they wanted to raise their children with a strong connection to both their French and American heritage. With three young kids and demanding careers, they decided an au pair from France would be the perfect fit—a caregiver who could speak French, reinforce cultural traditions, and help lighten the load at home.
But finding the right au pair wasn’t easy. Visa restrictions, unreliable candidates, and concerns about commitment turned their search into an exhausting cycle of interviews and dead ends. They needed someone experienced with children, committed to the role, and truly excited about cultural exchange—not just an extended vacation.
Enter Atlas
During a casual chat with their Accountant at Origin CPA Group, Ben mentioned the struggle. Their Accountant introduced Ben to Jenn Wenande, Atlas Program Director. Within days, Ben and Chloe were sitting down with the Atlas team, sharing their wish list and frustrations.
Atlas took charge, researching J-1 visa requirements, screening agencies, and vetting candidates with a meticulous eye. When the perfect au pair remained elusive, Atlas pivoted and found a highly qualified French nanny through a trusted local agency.
The Result
Within weeks, the Olsen family welcomed a wonderful nanny into their home—a fluent French speaker with years of childcare experience and a deep respect for their family values. Atlas handled the contract, background checks, and scheduling, ensuring a seamless transition.
“Atlas turned our impossible search into a stress-free solution – we couldn’t have done it without them,” Chloe shared.
Today, Atlas continues to support the Olsen family, ensuring their household runs smoothly while they focus on work, family, and making lasting memories.
