We have an AuPairCare Au Pair that we love!!! From the first day she bonded with my daughter, Reagan. My son Riley loved being around her too. It was so wonderful to leave the house and know everything was under control. She was so easy going and fun to be around. Things were done and I could get to places and be there on time. I think everyone should have an Au Pair!! ~

I am looking for a sample contract to have with our new au pair that just arrived from Poland. Does anyone know where to start looking? RYC: Are you looking for the agreement of how many hours you work or for something like a host family agreement or a host family handbook? Is there a way to contact you?

Au Pair

I see that many people are looking for childcare. Not sure if my advise will mean anything to you, but her goes.

My family recently accepted Olga an au pair to our home and I cannot tell you how amazing she has been to my children. I have two boys Matthew 7 and Ian 10; both are healthy and happy energtic kids. It has been hard the past few years since I spilt with my husband and been jumping from daycare to daycare to find the right fit. Finally, a friend suggested that i get an au pair...to be honest I was scared and didn't know where to begin. She told me to try Cultural Care, who she found her past 4 au pairs from. I can tell you she has never been more right, I was desperate and just looking for a good person to care for my boys. The person who matched me spent an hour on the phone with me before she showed me an applicant.

After two weeks of going back and forth with myself-I finally decided upon Olga; the first girl i was shown. If you are considering any program like this, I highly recommend checking cultural care.

Hope this helps someone —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.235.2.8 (talk) 23:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


uniforms

Do some people force their au pair to wear a uniform, like a maid or a servant boy? If, which kind of clothes are the au pairs forced to wear? Skirts or blouses for girls and white shirts with ties for boys? (OK, I know most au pairs are girls, but some are also boys). (unsigned)

I don't think so. The normal relationship between an au pair and her host is more equal than a uniform would suggest. I think you are thinking more of the sort of au pairs that you might find on other internet sites! --JimmyTheWig 16:33, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe someone who has been or is a a real (not thoose on the Internet sites) au pair, or hosts or had hosted an au pair can answer this question? Again: If, what kind of uniform? (unsigned)

We are currently looking for an au-pair. My wife used to be an au-pair. So I think my comments are at least partially informed. I am not aware of au-pairs wearing uniforms. --JimmyTheWig 08:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply] 


I am looking for the family for au pair. My e mail : ostapenkon@mail.ru

The au pair shouldn't be forced to wear a uniform, because she (or he) is not to be a servant - but a part of the family, an equal. There are however some that will force them to wear uniforms as well as treat their au pair like a servant or even like a slave in different ways. This is very unfortunate.

I'm an au pair currently in Norway. I'm not forced to wear a uniform, nor are any of the au pairs that go to my language class. The laws are very, very strict in this country pertaining to how au pairs are treated. http://www.udi.no/templates/Tema.aspx?id=4661 That link is to immigration services in Norway, specifically, the au pair page. There should be a link to the contract, ect as well from there to verify what I've said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.51.143 (talk) 07:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in nationality?

"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries of Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."

Is this a typo that should read

"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries or Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."

(i.e. "or" instead of "of")?


Or is this made up?

Can a family in the UK not have an American au-pair?

Useful NYT article on demand for Chinese Au Pairs in US

This was in today's NYT: To Give Children an Edge, Au Pairs From China. I'm sure the editors interested in this can use it. --Bobak 02:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plural is AUX PAIRS in french language .

In singular : A + LE PAIR = AU PAIR In plural : A + LES PAIRS = AUX PAIRS

A + LE = AU A + LES = AUX

it is abreviatude format. (89.24.82.224 (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]
