Au pair has become the general term used in most countries to mean a young person from overseas who lives with a family for a cultural exchange and working holiday experience, helping with childcare and light household duties, and receives full board and lodge (bedroom and meals), and weekly allowance.
The word au pair comes from French meaning “on a par” or “on the same level”. The French refer to it as “jeune fille au pair” meaning “young girl as one of us”. However, she is not expected to be another child in the home but a responsible, reliable young adult. Au pairs must be included as a member of the family in all activities, just like a grownup sister or brother, not treated as hired help.
JCR au pairs have reference-checked childcare experience, such as babysitting/nannying, daycare or school placements, camp or activity co-ordinator, coach or tutor. Many have been planning their Australian au pair adventure for years and gaining relevant experience. Police and medical checks are standard, and most have First Aid training and an international driving permit.
