Emergency
As a Host Family, you should handle your Au Pair’s illnesses, accidents, or medical emergencies in the same way you would for other family members. If your Au Pair has a legal or serious medical problem, notify your Community Counselor. If your Community Counselor is not available and you cannot wait for her return, call the 24-hour emergency service at 1-800-928-7247.
