The International Au Pair Day, November 24, 2019, marks the beginning of a yearly celebration of Au Pairs. Celebrating the International Au Pair Day can be a unique opportunity to facilitate cultural exchange between host families and Au Pairs.
Through the Au Pair program, Au Pairs and host families take part in a mutually rewarding, cultural exchange experience. Au Pairs get firsthand experience living in American family and explore American culture, they also make international friends and learn from a huge cultural diversity around them.

The host family can expose to another culture without ever having to leave home! The host kids get a cultural childcare with kindness and respect for different cultures. The Au Pair Program helps a new generation better understand the people around the world, be tolerant to others and make the world a more welcoming, understanding, and open place.
The celebration of this Day with the host family is very important! International Au Pair Association (IAPA) recommends host families:
- Surprise your au pair with a thank you note or video
- Organise a surprise celebration for him/her
- Take your au pair somewhere nice
- Show your appreciation with a small gift
- Give him/her a day off to have a fun day with other au pairs
Go Au Pair recommends the Au Pairs
- Surprise their Host Families with a thank you note.
- Create a video or photo album of their favorite Au Pair moments.
- Invite their Host Families to a fun activity, like ice skating or a hay ride
Celebrating the International Au Pair Day can be a great opportunity to spread the word about the Au Pair program and the power of cultural exchange.
