Au Pair-What is this?

The term “au pair” was originally a French term meaning "equal to" which described the relationship a young woman had with a family. She lived on an equal basis and was treated as a member of the family. Today, “au pair” refers to either young men or young women from foreign countries who live with a Host Family while providing child care services in exchange for the opportunity to live in their country while learning the language and culture.

In 1989 the U.S. Department of State launched the Au Pair program through six designated agencies. goAUPAIR was one of these original six. Today, goAUPAIR represents families across the U.S. and works with agencies in over 50 countries around the world.
