/ Oh per/ Au pair – French word refers to a live in child minder. It is normally a young person ( girls mainly) who spend time living in a foreign country minding the children for their host family. This way they can learn the language / culture and experience living in another country while making some pocket money too. It’s not normally well paid. As a nanny you would be paid more but you should have Mary Poppins type training for that.

The word “Au Pair” is a French term, which means “on par” or “equal to”, denoting living on an equal basis in a reciprocal, caring relationship between the host family and the children. An aupair will typically be a young woman and sometimes a young man from a foreign country who chooses to help look after the children of a host family and provide light housekeeping. The aupair is given room and board and is typically paid a weekly “pocket-money” salary. Aupairs generally stay with their host family for one year.

Au pair? O pair.

It can be a well paying job but can also be NOT worth any amount of money. You could become a general dogsbody if you work for the wrong people. It’s like any job, i guess. There are good places & bad. Just move on if it’s a bad one.

It’s sort of a live-in nanny/housekeeper.
