We offer two programs.
Standard Program
The Standard program is meant for families in need of full-time childcare.
Standard au pairs can work up to 45 hours a week, but not more than ten hours
per day. They are paid a weekly salary of at least $195.75. Standard au pairs
must attend at least six credit hours of classes (normally two classes) at a
U.S. post-secondary institution. Families pay up to $500 for the tuition and
fees of the au pair.
EduCare Program
The EduCare program is for families with school-aged children who require
childcare before and after school.
EduCare au pairs may work up to 30 hours a week, but not more than ten hours
per day. EduCare au pairs receive $146.81 in pay from the host family every
week. EduCare au pairs must complete 12 hours of academic credit (normally four
classes) during the program year. The host family pays up to $1,000.00 for the
au pair's required academic tuition and fees. Educare au pairs must attend at
least twelve credit hours of classes (normally four classes) at a U.S.
