Not a Nanny. A Family Member.
The Au Pair program is a government-regulated cultural exchange. It balances three core pillars to ensure mutual benefit for families and young travelers.

Cultural Exchange
Aupairs learn your language and customs, while your children gain a global sibling and exposure to a new culture.

Mutual Benefit
Families get affordable, reliable care. Aupairs get room, board, and pocket money.
