WHY AU PAIR ?
An au pair (a young man or woman) is hosted by a family
abroad to learn a language. It is the best way to get to know another culture
and learn the language at a low cost. The au pair lives for up to 1 year in a
family and helps with the children. Families are personally interviewed.
This
helps to ensure the au pair a safe comfortable home and a successful stay.
