Parties and Recitals
Identify host family, au pair, any placement agency, and the relationship purpose, including sponsor program name where applicable.
A clear agreement reduces misunderstandings about hours, duties, compensation, and safety obligations. It supports legal compliance, documents consent to living arrangements, and creates an evidentiary record for payroll, tax reporting, and visa sponsors.
The Aupair Employment Agreement is used by individuals and organizations that host or place au pairs; multiple stakeholders benefit from a standardized form.
Use the agreement whenever an au pair begins a placement, when terms change, or when formal documentation is needed for payroll, visa verification, or agency records.
