Why an Au Pair Program?

Hosting an au pair is a rewarding and enriching cultural experience for the entire family. For 12 months, you and your children
will have the opportunity to intimately experience a person of another culture in your own home. Your family's view of the
world will expand through the au pair's sharing of her own language and customs. In addition, you and your family will share
your own culture and customs with your au pair.
With the European tradition of "working together as a pair," families treat the au pair as an equal member of the
family, unlike a nanny or other childcare providers who are considered outside employees.
CHI's au pairs go through a thorough screening process, including personal interviews, previous childcare experience,
psychometric testing, criminal background checks and confirmed character reference checks. CHI's au pairs love children, desire
to share their cultural heritage and look forward to being a part of daily family life. CHI maintains a highly qualified
network of regional and local staff to support families throughout the program year. As one of the few designated exchange
visitor visa sponsoring organizations, you can feel confident in the knowledge that CHI Au Pair USA adheres to mandated program
regulations.
CHI Au Pair USA provides you the most value for your money, particularly with families with several
children. The average direct au pair program cost is approximately $343 per week, all inclusive.
