Cultural Homestay International (CHI) Au Pair USA provides quality live-in childcare for busy American families by legally sponsoring carefully screened au pairs from around the world. Hosting an au pair is a rewarding and enriching cultural experience for the entire family. For 12 months, you and your children will have the opportunity to intimately experience a person of another culture in your own home. In addition, you and your family will share your own culture and customs with your au pair. CHI is a nonprofit, public benefit, educational organization. For 25 years, it has brought people of diverse cultures together. CHI’s au pairs go through a thorough screening process, including personal interviews, previous childcare experience, psychometric testing, criminal background checks and confirmed character reference checks. CHI’s au pairs love children and look forward to being a part of daily family life. CHI maintains a highly qualified network of regional and local staff to support families throughout the program year. As one of the few designated exchange visitor visa sponsoring organizations, you can feel confident in the knowledge that CHI Au Pair USA adheres to mandated program regulations.
