uniforms
Do some people force their au pair to wear a uniform, like a maid or a servant boy? If, which kind of clothes are the au pairs forced to wear? Skirts or blouses for girls and white shirts with ties for boys? (OK, I know most au pairs are girls, but some are also boys). (unsigned)
I don't think so. The normal relationship between an au pair and her host is more equal than a uniform would suggest. I think you are thinking more of the sort of au pairs that you might find on other internet sites! --JimmyTheWig 16:33, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
Maybe someone who has been or is a a real (not thoose on the Internet sites) au pair, or hosts or had hosted an au pair can answer this question? Again: If, what kind of uniform? (unsigned)
We are currently looking for an au-pair. My wife used to be an au-pair. So I think my comments are at least partially informed. I am not aware of au-pairs wearing uniforms. --JimmyTheWig 08:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
I am looking for the family for au pair. My e mail : ostapenkon@mail.ru
The au pair shouldn't be forced to wear a uniform, because she (or he) is not to be a servant - but a part of the family, an equal. There are however some that will force them to wear uniforms as well as treat their au pair like a servant or even like a slave in different ways. This is very unfortunate.
I'm an au pair currently in Norway. I'm not forced to wear a uniform, nor are any of the au pairs that go to my language class. The laws are very, very strict in this country pertaining to how au pairs are treated. http://www.udi.no/templates/Tema.aspx?id=4661 That link is to immigration services in Norway, specifically, the au pair page. There should be a link to the contract, ect as well from there to verify what I've said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.51.143 (talk) 07:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Typo in nationality?
"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries of Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."
Is this a typo that should read
"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries or Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."
(i.e. "or" instead of "of")?
Or is this made up?
Can a family in the UK not have an American au-pair?

- Ok, I've confirmed things from the Home Office website and have clarified the text in the article. --JimmyTheWig 13:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Useful NYT article on demand for Chinese Au Pairs in US
This was in today's NYT: To Give Children an Edge, Au Pairs From China. I'm sure the editors interested in this can use it. --Bobak 02:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Plural is AUX PAIRS in french language .
In singular : A + LE PAIR = AU PAIR In plural : A + LES PAIRS = AUX PAIRS
A + LE = AU A + LES = AUX
it is abreviatude format. (89.24.82.224 (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2009 (UTC))
