Programs
We offer two programs.
Standard Program
The Standard program is for au pairs who are more interested in working as childcare providers and taking fewer classes as part of their program.
Standard au pairs can not work more than 45 hours a week, and not more than ten hours per day. Standard au pairs are paid a weekly salary of at least $195.75. Standard au pairs must attend at least six credit hours of classes at a US post-secondary institution. Families pay up to $500 for the educational support of the au pair.
EduCare Program
The EduCare program is for au pairs wanting to work with families with school-aged children who require before and after school hours and do more coursework of their own.
EduCare au pairs can not work more than 30 hours a week, and not more than ten hours per day. EduCare au pairs receive $146.81 a week in pay. EduCare au pairs must complete 12 hours of academic credit during the program year. The host family pays up to $1,000.00 for the au pair's required academic tuition and fees.
