What is the difference between a nanny and an au pair
Differences Between Nannies and Au pairs
Au pairs are generally foreign born women between ages of 18 and 26. Au pairs must have a visa, and if they care for a child under 2, they must have 200 hours of experience. They're required to provide 10 to 45 hours of service. Nannies tend to be women between 18 and 50, usually hold a degree in early childhood development and are often members of unions and organizations like INA. They do live in childcare or day-to-day basis. A nanny works between 40 and 70 hours per week.
