What is an Au Pair?

An au pair program is a cultural exchange program that allows young people from all over the world travel to other countries to live with a host family in exchange for child care services. The word ‘au pair’ is French with a meaning of “on par” or “on equal terms.” The arrangement between the host family and the au pair is different depending on which country the host family resides in. In Europe, for example, au pairs work part-time with the children of the host family and they study part-time. In the United States, an au pair may provide up to 45 hours of childcare a week and needs to complete 6 credits at the U.S. post secondary institution.

Your children are the most precious part of your family. When it comes to finding high quality childcare, you want to ensure you have only the best caregivers for those moments that you cannot be there. Not only is your child’s well-being and safety an important concern, but you also want to ensure that their minds and social skills are stimulated by positive daily interactions.
