Au Pairs are young people ages 18-26 who are at least high school graduates, speak English, and come to America to provide childcare, for cultural exchange & to take college courses. These are young people accountable to a Department of State-overseen program. What do your daycare workers do after hours?

When hosting an Au Pair, the Host Family generates their own house rules, written/agreed to by both parties before the Au Pair leave home; daycare agencies create contracts & require families to abide by them or pay extra.
