Au pair
Au pair is an anglicization of the
French term "au pair," which means "on par" or "equal to" and describes a young person living on an equal basis with a host
family in a foreign country. The au pair helps the family with
childcare, housework, or both while staying as a guest of the family and generally receiving a small allowance (or pocket money). An au pair will typically be a young woman, or sometimes a young man, who is accepted into the host family as an extended family member. Both the family and au pair are expected to respect cultural differences and display tolerance towards one another.
