Au Pair in America

Standard Program Au Pairs

Latvian au pair, Zane

The standard program provides up to 45 hours of child care for approximately $328 per week - per family, not per child!

The standard Au Pair in America program option is the most popular choice for most host families, providing flexible and affordable live-in care for infants, toddlers and school-aged children.

All candidates for the program:

• are between the ages of 18 and 26.
• have at least 200 hours of recent, practical child care experience such as regular babysitting for non-family members or assisting at a local school or youth group. Au pairs who care for children under the age of two will have a minimum of 200 hours of documented experience with children under the age of two.
• speak English to an acceptable standard.
• have earned a secondary school diploma or equivalent. Some may have completed university-level coursework.
• submit a medical report prior to entering the U.S.
• possess a valid driver's license. In countries where attainable, we request applicants secure an international driver's license. They may also be required to obtain a license in your state.
• have successfully passed a background investigation, which includes verification of schooling, references, psychometric test and a criminal record check (where available within the scope of the laws of a given country).

Au pairs and companions generally have no formal child care training. For au pairs with formal training or two years of full-time child care experience, refer to our Au Pair Extraordinaire program.
