Au pair in america

America's first Au Pair Program

A host family

Our host families are seeking an in-home family friendly solution for their children's care and the benefits of a cultural exchange in their own home. Families can be one or two parent families and the number, and age of their children will vary. While many families are based in the northeast of the US, we have families located across the country.
