Through the Au Pair program, participants and host families take part in a mutually rewarding, intercultural opportunity. Participants can continue their education while experiencing everyday life with an American family, and hosts receive reliable and responsible childcare from individuals who become part of the family.

Au Pairs must be:

• Proficient in spoken English;

• A secondary school graduate or equivalent; and

• Between 18-and-26-years-old.

• Capable of fully participating in the program as evidenced by the satisfactory completion of a physical.

• Personally interviewed, in English, by an organizational representative who shall prepare a report of the interview which shall be provided to the host family; and

• Successful in passing a background investigation that includes verification of school, three, non-family related personal and employment references, a criminal background check or its recognized equivalent and a personality profile. Such personality profile will be based upon a psychometric test designed to measure differences in characteristics among applicants against those characteristics considered most important to successfully participate in the au pair program.
