Sitter in Glastonbury, Connecticut

An au pair is a young adult from another country who lives with your family for a year and provides in-home childcare (like a nanny, but better)! Au pairs work up to 45 hours per week, in exchange for the opportunity to live with an American family. Because au pairs provide live-in childcare, they offer greater flexibility, caring for your children at times that accommodate your family's individual schedule. Au pairs can fulfill a variety of roles that help your family thrive and grow. Throughout your year together, your au pair can take on many responsibilities to help you with a broad range of childcare needs – the details are for you to decide. Typically, au pairs care for children and related tasks such as: • Entertaining your children and teaching them about a new culture • Preparing children's meals and cleaning up after their mealtime • Helping with homework, packing lunches and taking children to school • Driving children on outings to parks, playgroups and other activities • Assisting with light household childcare related tasks such as doing children’s laundry and keeping their rooms tidy • Bathing and dressing children
