What is an Au Pair?

An an pair is a young adult from another country who lives with a family and provides in-home childcare services. Au pairs work up to 45 hours per week, in exchange for the opportunity to live with another family. Because au pairs provide live-in childcare, they offer more flexibility and can care for the child at times that accommodate the family's schedule.

An au pair should...

• Have basic childcare qualifications 
• Speak conversational English 
• Have completed a secondary education 
• Are between 18 to 26 years old
