Hi, I'm Kimberly

Kimberly Molloy

Hi there! I’m Kimberly Molloy—mom, longtime host parent, and now, author.

For over a decade, I’ve had the incredible privilege of welcoming au pairs and nannies from around the world into our home. Through the years, I’ve learned firsthand just how rewarding (and let’s be honest—how stressful!) childcare can be. Whether it’s navigating cultural differences, building trust with someone new, or simply juggling the day-to-day chaos, I’ve been there.

That’s exactly why I started creating books and journals for families and caregivers—to make life a little easier, a little more organized, and a lot more meaningful.

My goal is simple: to support other families and caregivers with tools that truly help. From thoughtful keepsakes like the Au Pair Travel Journal to practical planners and guides, everything I create comes from real experience and a genuine love for this unique way of raising a family.

 

Thank you so much for being here. I truly hope you enjoy my books and find them helpful on your own journey—whether you’re hosting your first au pair or you’re a seasoned pro like me.
