Half Conversation Corps Half Au Pair-What Do We Name It?

Half Conversation Corps Half Au Pair-What Do We Name It?

volunteer abroadWe're adding a new program to the Conversation Corps line up.  And GeoVisions needs your help.

The program consists of 15 hours a week of speaking conversational English with a family in Spain.  Our flagship program: Conversation Corps.  Add 10 hours a week of babysitting, which includes walking the kids to school, being there when they get home, and keeping the kids 2 nights a month while mom and Dad go out.  Kind of an elementary Au Pair, without any of the domestic duties.

What should we name it?  It isn't Au Pair and it isn't our traditional Conversation Corps program.

Oh!  I forgot.  It pays 40 Euro ($65 US) per week.  Not enough to retire on, but over 8 weeks you could pocket $520 which could pay for most of your airfare.  Or your spending money.  Or a nice weekend in Barcelona.

Do you have any ideas we could bounce around to name this newest program?
