Au pair childcare is an affordable childcare option for families looking for full-time in-home care. An au pair is a young woman recruited from one of 40 countries who is eager to come to the U.S. to live with an American family and care for their children. The au pairs who are accepted into the program are fully screened and trained by AuPairCare. Au pairs live in the family's home and have a schedule of 45 hours/week (or 10 hrs/day) caring for children.
