Parents today are facing challenges like never before. We believe childcare should help make parenthood a little easier. When you welcome an au pair into your home, you give your family quality, live-in childcare – with a cultural twist. With AuPairCare, you gain reliable and flexible support that grows with your family.
An au pair is a young adult from another country who lives with your family for a year and provides in-home childcare (like a nanny, but better)! Au pairs travel to the U.S. on a legal J-1 Visa and work up to 45 hours per week in exchange for the opportunity to live with an American family. Because au pairs provide live-in childcare, they offer greater flexibility, caring for your children at times that accommodate your family's individual schedule. Au pairs can fulfill a variety of roles that help your family thrive and grow. Over and over, we hear amazing stories from our families and au pairs about what an au pair really is:
-
A Big Sister or Brother
-
From playing make-believe to helping with homework, au pairs become the older sibling your kids have always wanted.
-
-
A Sous Chef for the Kids
-
Once you start searching for your au pair, you'll notice they love touting their culinary skills. Some may even have creative ways to get kids to eat their veggies.

-
Another Responsible Adult
-
During hectic times, an extra set of hands is sometimes all you need.
-
-
A New Family Member
-
After welcoming an au pair to their home, many families find they've gained a lifelong relationship - and a new member of their family - visiting overseas for holidays and even attending weddings.
