Au Pairs
If you are a young person wanting to be an au pair, or a host family seeking au pair services, you can find many established au pair services that help connect au pairs and host families.
Many au pair services specialize in providing carefully screened and trained candidates to host families looking for an au pair. An au pair is usually a young foreign visitor employed to take care of children and do light housework. The au pairs work for the host family in exchange for room and board and usually a small allowance.
An au pair lives with a host family for a short period of time, between 1 month and 2 years, and is primarily responsible for looking after the children and doing light housework. Au pair duties may include driving children to and from school or helping with homework. Au Pairs can help a family by providing flexible, affordable and live-in child care for around a thousand dollars a month. The host family of an au pair will provide room and board.
