A typical day with a Pennsylvania au pair is designed to compliment your family's unique schedule and childcare needs. Many au pairs start their morning by helping children get ready for school, preparing breakfast, and managing the morning routine. During school hours, au pairs often have free time for classes, exploring Pennsylvania's vibrant communities, or connecting with other au pairs in the area.
After school, your au pair can pick up the children, assist with homework, organize age-appropriate activities, and prepare simple meals for the kids. Evening responsibilities may include supervising bath time, reading bedtime stories, and light housekeeping related to childcare such as tidying play areas or doing children's laundry.
Pennsylvania families particularly appreciate that au pairs can adapt to seasonal activities—from outdoor play in Fairmount Park during summer to indoor crafts during snowy winters. Weekend schedules vary based on your family agreement, but au pairs have at least one full weekend off per month to explore Pennsylvania's rich history, visit Philadelphia, or travel to nearby cities like New York or Washington D.C.
The flexibility of having a live-in au pair means you can customize the schedule to match your work commitments, whether you're commuting to Philadelphia, working remotely in the suburbs, or managing a business in Pittsburgh.
