Key takeaways
A day in the life of an au pair looks different for every family—Giorgia’s routine shows how childcare, play, and more naturally blend throughout the day.
Au pairs are deeply involved in children’s everyday moments, from morning routines to after-school activities.
Living as part of a host family creates meaningful bonds, allowing relationships like Giorgia’s to grow beyond schedules into lasting connections.
Hosting an au pair is an incredible opportunity to welcome a reliable, flexible, and trustworthy live-in caregiver into your home. Best of all, they also become an extended member of your family—someone you can grow close to and build a special bond with over the year (or more!) you spend together. Many parents understand the concept of an au pair and how it benefits so many host families, but they may still wonder: What exactly can an au pair do with my kids?
Get a first-hand glimpse into what life's like as an au pair in the USA with Giorgia, an Italian au pair. She walks us through a typical day caring for three host kids just outside of Chicago, Illinois.
