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 receive at least $195.75 per week in pay. Standard au pairs must attend at least six semester hours of classes at an accredited 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 who want to work with families with school-aged children who require child care before and after school. EduCare au pairs must take more classes.
EduCare au pairs cannot work more than 30 hours a week, and not more than ten hours per day. EduCare au pairs receive $146.81 per week in pay. EduCare au pairs must complete 12 semester hours of academic credit at an accredited US post-secondary institution. The host family pays up to $1,000 for the au pair's required academic tuition and fees.
