  Our Mission


Au Pair Foundation’s mission is to provide all of our program participants with a quality cross-cultural experience that will enhance their understanding and acceptance of other cultures and foster life-long friendship in addition to providing quality child care to American families and educational opportunities to international au pairs. Through the Au Pair Foundation Program, we hope to give American families the opportunity to learn more about world cultures by placing intelligent people from other countries who display positive attitudes and a willingness to be ambassadors for their home countries. Au pairs will be able to teach their host families about life in their countries and share the qualities of themselves and their culture throughout the program year. We feel that the host families, au pairs and the communities surrounding these families benefit from this exchange as the au pair integrates into daily American life. Through this program, we also hope that the au pair will return to their home country and share with family, friends and countrymen a positive and realistic impression of life in America, the American people, and our uniquely blended and ever changing culture.
