AuPairCare, a leading international au pair agency designated by the U.S. Department of State, that facilitates cultural exchange through live-in childcare, has marked its 35th anniversary at its annual conference. The anniversary celebrated the impact of the au pair program and brought together hundreds of staff, international partners, and au pair participants from around the globe.

Au pairs are international young people who come to the U.S. on a J1 cultural exchange visa and live as a member of American host families seeking flexible live-in childcare. This significant milestone is not just a celebration of longevity but a testament to the transformative impact AuPairCare has had on countless lives worldwide.

Sarah McNamara, Senior Vice President at AuPairCare, reflects on the agency’s journey: “For 35 years, AuPairCare has been enriching lives and bridging cultures. Our program has touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands of au pairs, who come to the U.S. to share in American culture before returning home to spread the values they’ve experienced. It’s truly heartening to witness the positive ripple effect of our program.”

As AuPairCare commemorates 35 years of fostering international cultural exchange and goodwill, it looks ahead with excitement to the continued enrichment of lives and families and communities worldwide.
