Benefit managers have a lot of options when it comes to child care solutions. Offering discounted access to a live-in au pair provides working parents with flexible, reliable care, along with a cultural integration experience for everyone involved.

Au Pair in America vets au pair applicants from more than 50 countries and matches those who qualify with families across 44 states in the U.S. Candidates are typically women, aged 18-26, who are looking to come to the U.S. for a cultural exchange experience. They live with a host family, often for a year, helping with child care duties for children of all ages for up to 10 hours per day and no more than 45 hours per week. Au pairs can apply for 6 to 12 month extensions if they and their host family would like to extend the contract.
