Why Au Pair?![]() What does Au Pair Mean? The word "Au- Pair" is a French term, which means "on par" or "equal to", denoting living on an equal basis in a reciprocal, caring relationship between the host family and the children. Au Pair companions are international visitors who travel to Australia on a Working or Student Visa to acquire a better understanding and appreciation of Australian life while living with an Australian family and caring for their young children. They become full-fledged family members, sharing a cultural exchange experience, which often leads to a lasting relationship with the host family. Child care is a meaningful way for international visitors seeking insight into Australian life to help their host families. Hosting an Au Pair or a nanny has many benefits. Your children are in their own environment and care can be centred on the children’s needs. Care is more flexible, for instance, many families find that around the “rush” hour of getting dressed and breakfast or dinner and bath is when they could most use an extra pair of hands. It is very cost effective and can be used by families with children of all ages. |
