The 411 on Au Pairs

Au Pairs are the nanny alternative. They are young adults who come to the U.S. to live with a family while providing up to 45 hours of flexible childcare each week. They initially come for one year but can extend for a second year if mutually agreed.  All Au Pairs speak English and complete an extensive application process which includes references, interview, physician’s report, criminal background check, and psychometric tests. The average weekly cost for a full time Au Pair is less than $345 per week, regardless of the number of children you have. Discounts are available for NW Ohio & SE Michigan!  In addition to offering quality child care, Au Pairs can also help with extra duties such as driving and light housekeeping.

Only designated agencies, like Go Au Pair, can legally bring Au Pairs into the US.  Go Au Pair is a long standing company that has over 200 Au Pairs available.  You can view our public profiles now or you can view all of the Au Pairs and their detailed profiles by signing up. There is not cost or obligation until after you choose your Au Pair.
