An au pair is a nanny, but just fancier. They travels with the family to a foreign country to take care of the family’s kids, in exchange for a place to stay, and, of course, money.
What’s the job like? What kind of weird circumstances do they get into? Do they end up screwing the parents?
These 20 people working as au pairs open up about their thoughts, feelings and struggles about their unique line of work.
Eye opening confessions in 3, 2, 1…
20. Haha, you’re not very good at this, are you?

Again… never develop a crush on the dad. Just don’t do it. That’s like au pair rule #1!
