Depending on your needs, an Au Pair might be the best option for you. Similarly to in-home caregivers, Au Pairs provide affordable and fl exible childcare, but only child-related housekeeping. Au Pairs can arrive in your home within 3 – 16 weeks, are able to work full or part-time hours and always live-in with you. Moreover you are not required to demonstrate your proof of suffi cient income, your identity and address, apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment nor pay for the Au Pair’s airfare and health care. Au Pairs are interested in cultural exchange and are looking forward to sharing their language, traditions, food and much more with you and your children.

Here are some of the differences between an Au Pair and an In-home Caregiver.
