The Pair

An au pair is an individual from a foreign country who lives with a host family, primarily to provide child care and light household duties in exchange for a monetary allowance and cultural exchange opportunities. The concept originated in post-World War II Europe, transitioning from traditional domestic roles to one emphasizing familial integration and cultural learning, with significant variations in arrangement and expectations between Europe and North America. While the arrangement typically involves limited working hours and educational opportunities, government regulations often govern age and working conditions, reflecting the au pair's status as a family member rather than an employee.
