International Au Pair Day is a global celebration of all au pairs and their contribution to cultural exchange around the world.
By celebrating each year, we hope to:
- Raise the profile and visibility of au pairs, and of legal au pair programs, around the world.
- Recognise and thank au pairs for what they do for host families and their children, and for the part they play in fostering global understanding.
- Unite the au pair community and establish 24 November as a recognised day of annual au pair celebrations.
International Au Pair Day is an initiative of IAPA, the International Au Pair Association.
There's no limit to how you can celebrate your au pair, but here are a few ideas — and we'd love you to share yours too:
- Surprise your au pair with a thank-you note or video.
- Organise a surprise celebration.
- Take your au pair somewhere nice.
- Show your appreciation with a small gift.
- Cards or artwork from the children.
- A framed photo of your au pair and the children together.
Have an amazing day together!
