WHAT AN AU PAIR IS
More than a guest.
Part of the family.
“Au pair” means “on equal terms.” You are not a domestic worker or a tourist. You join family life as a trusted older sibling: sharing your language, helping the children grow in confidence and learning from one another.
In return, your host family provides a private room, meals and a stable home base. Yohoo supports the relationship from the first interview to your final farewell.
