InterExchange Au Pair USA is a cultural exchange program that gives young people, ages 18-26, who want to work as au pairs, the opportunity to experience the U.S. by living with an American host family while providing child care. Host families enjoy the benefit of in-home care for their children that is flexible and affordable. In return, au pairs receive room, board, a weekly stipend, accident and sickness insurance, airfare and an educational allowance to use toward college-level courses.
