Au Pair USA is an agency and cultural exchange program offering host families in the United States the opportunity to experience live-in child care provided by an international au pair. Au pairs live with the host family and learn about life in the United States in exchange for providing child care for the host s family. Au Pair s responsibilities include dropping the children off at school and picking them up from school or activities, helping with homework, assisting in keeping the children's rooms clean and cooking light meals for the children. The Au Pair USA extension program allows host families and au pairs to extend their match beyond their first year together for an additional six, nine or 12 months. The host family s children benefit from a more stable child care environment and au pairs benefit from having more time to experience life in the United States. Au Pair is located in New York City.
