Childcare Resources

Child discipline in the U.S.A. may be different than what au pairs have experienced in their home culture. Au pairs typically require ongoing guidance, training and support from their hosts to manage child behavior and discipline in a new household and culture. Consistency across all adult caregivers is key to successful behavior management. Children often misbehave with those they feel safest with and the au pair should not take it personally if the child displays problem behaviors. 

Agent Au Pair recognizes child behavior as one of the main reasons for placement issues between hosts and au pairs. We are committed to providing our families with the best tools and resources for a successful program year.
