What is an Au Pair?

Au pairs are caring, live-in childcare providers who live as an extended member of their host family and provide childcare for up to 10 hours per day and 45 hours per week. Au pairs are between the ages of 18 and 26, and come from more than 40 countries. In exchange for providing childcare, au pairs receive room, board, and a small stipend.
