The event is FREE and Parking is FREE! More details to come.

APIA au pairs from around the world will present cultural information about their home countries through exhibits, costumes, music and dancing, and much more. This video from APIA’s 25th Anniversary Cultural Fair gives you a glimpse of our amazing au pairs and their many countries.

Au Pair Tax Info

By Christine Connally

Who is supposed to file taxes? – All au pairs who made $4000 or more in the calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31.) Au pairs who made less than $4000, are not required to file a tax return for 2015.

Will all au pairs have to pay something? – No, it depends on when you arrived and how much money you earned last year.
