Colvin, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Private Sector Exchange, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. \u201cAu Pair in America is one of the founding members that introduced the model, advocated for it and established it.\u201d<\/ins><\/p>\n<p><ins>The United States Information Agency (USIA) designated the American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS) Scholarship Foundation as one of two sponsors of an au pair program for a two-year trial period beginning in 1986. AIFS then launched Au Pair in America which has served as the definitive au pair program in the U.S. for the last 25 years, helping set U.S. program regulations as well as placing more than 85,000 au pairs in the homes of American families.<\/ins><\/p>\n<p><ins>Au Pair in America matches potential au pairs that meet the different criteria posed by host families. Both au pairs and families complete a thorough application and matching process to ensure the best situation for all parties.<\/ins><\/p>\n<div><ins>To learn more about the program, contact Au Pair in America at (800) 928-7247 or visit them on the web at www.aupairinamerica.com.<\/ins><\/div>\n<div><ins>\u00a0<\/ins><\/div>\n<p><ins>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><ins>The nation\u2019s first and largest au pair program, Au Pair in America combines live-in child care and cultural exchange for a mutually rewarding and enriching experience for the entire family.
