Hosting an au pair is an incredible opportunity to welcome a reliable, flexible, and trustworthy live-in caregiver into your home. Best of all, they also become an extended member of your family—someone you can grow close to and build a special bond with over the year (or more!) you spend together. Many parents understand the concept of an au pair and how it benefits so many host families, but they may still wonder: What exactly can an au pair do with my kids?
