Q&A
To become an au pair with Au Pair in America, you must be between 18 and 26 years old, have at least 200 hours of recent, non-family child care experience, be proficient in English, have completed secondary school or equivalent, and be in good health. Additionally, you must have a valid driver's license and a clean criminal background.
As an au pair, your primary responsibilities will include taking care of the host family's children. This involves preparing meals for the children, assisting with homework, transporting them to and from school or activities, playing with them, and ensuring their overall well-being. Specific duties may vary depending on the family's needs.
The standard duration of the au pair program is 12 months. However, there is an option to extend the program for an additional 6, 9, or 12 months, subject to mutual agreement between the au pair, the host family, and Au Pair in America.
