The number of hours and responsibilities are similar for the three programs, but the Au Pair's qualifications differ. Before selecting a candidate, you will have access to all the candidates profiles and be able to review their child care experience. Although we ask you to indicate which program you would prefer, you do not need to make the final decision until you have had a chance to review all the candidates. Families requiring care for a child under two years of age must choose option II or III.

Program I: Au Pair Child Care:
Candidates have with a minimum of 200 hours of recent, practical child care experience.

Program II: Au Pair Infant Child Care:

Details of formal child care degrees are provided to Host Families in the Au Pair profiles.
