Au Pairs
An Au Pair is a young foreign person usually a woman between 18 and 28 years old, that works for and lives as part of a family.
 The term au pair has its origins in the French language and means 'equal to' and suggests that the young person is treated as a member of the family.
The emphasis of the au pair programme is for the au pair to learn about our culture and language. Au pairs will take on a share of the family's responsibility for childcare and light housework.
In return they will receive an allowance and board.
