Au Pair Homestays Young adults who choose The Experiment in International Living's Au Pair program have the opportunity to experience life in another culture while they assist their host family by providing child care for the family's young children. Host families get safe, affordable, and legal live-in child care. Participants get the educational opportunity to live as a family member, absorbing the values, customs, and language of that culture.
Regulations vary from country to country.
In general, the host family provides the homestay and pays a small stipend in exchange for weekly child care responsibilities. Participants must have proficiency in the language of the host country and must have child care experience. Hosts as well as participants are screened and interviewed before being selected for an au pair placement. Contact The Experiment organization in your country for details.
