Au Pair in America recruits girls between the ages of 18 and 26 from 60 countries worldwide to provide live-in childcare for busy working families. Hosting an au pair provides the flexibility and convenience you need to simplify your life. With an au pair, you will be able to create your own child care schedule of up to 10 hours per day and up to 45 hours per week. By having your child care provider living in your home, dealing with sick days, snow days and life’s little surprises has never been easier. They can help with getting your children to school, picking them up, getting them to after school activities, preparing their meals, helping with homework and encouraging their love for another language. Hosting an au pair provides an enriching cultural experience for the entire family. The cost is per family and not per child making this child care option cost effective.
