We absolutely adore our au pair Asia. We were able to communicate with her through AuPair.com easily, before moving on to have video chats with her. She fits right in with our family and our daughter is really happy around her

Laura was a pleasure to have as a member of our family. She established a very strong bond with both children very quickly and they still miss her a lot. We always felt the children were in safe hands. She was also very helpful around the house and often showed initiative, doing things without having to be asked.

Au Pair Definition - Who is an Au Pair?

Au Pair Definition
An Au Pair is a young person that wants to experience another culture and learn a new language by living in a foreign country with a Host Family. In exchange for a private room and some pocket money, the Au Pair takes care of tasks related to childcare and easy household chores. They are considered temporary "big brothers or sisters" for the Host Children and will hopefully become a new additional member to the Host Family. 
 
Au Pair Visa Check
In some cases Au Pairs might need a visa or a work permit. Use our visa checking tool to find out whether the Au Pair needs a visa.
