Hosting an au pair FAQs

Hosting an au pair has been an amazing experience for many American families, but the program is not right for everyone! You should consider hosting an au pair if the following statements are all true:

  • You are looking for a reliable, flexible, and consistent caregiver for your kids.

  • You are excited about welcoming a young person from abroad into your family, sharing American culture with them, and supporting them throughout their stay in the U.S.

  • You are willing and able to provide a private bedroom, at least three meals a day, and other amenities to make their stay more comfortable.

  • You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and so is your partner (if applicable).
    All adults living in your household would pass a criminal background check.

Some of the basic requirements to be eligible to host an au pair with Cultural Care include:

  • Providing a suitable private bedroom for your au pair.

  • Being a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

  • Passing a criminal background check.

Cultural and personality differences account for the majority of conflicts and can usually be resolved through better communication and with the help of your Local Childcare Consultant (LCC). If your incompatibilities cannot be worked out, you may decide to continue the program with a new au pair, in which case we will work with you to find a better match as soon as possible.
