Family stories: Welcoming an au pair into Miami homes

Marcela doesn’t just care for our children, she is woven into our family’s story.

She is patient, nurturing, and fully present with our girls. They call her their sister, and she treats them like her own. teaching them Spanish, practicing letters, creating art projects, going on walks, and turning everyday moments into opportunities for love and learning. Marcela has enriched our lives in ways we never expected. I feel like she is my own daughter, we laugh together, support one another, and lean on each other during busy or hard days. Our girls insist on saying goodnight to her every evening and often ask if she can stay with us forever.

1Au pairs pay a smaller program fee to the foreign company that screens them, but no portion of that fee is used to pay for the costs of their international airfare or domestic U.S. transportation. Au pairs may be charged additional fees in the event of special travel requests.

2The U.S. Department of State has determined that au pairs are required to receive from their host families at least $195.75 per week. Host families and au pairs are free to discuss and agree to compensation higher than the required stipend minimum; however, this cannot be in exchange for the au pair exceeding the regulatory limits on working hours (10 hours per day; 45 hours per week) or performing duties beyond childcare-related tasks. The State Department formula is based on the federal minimum wage and applicable room and board credits. Any change in the federal minimum wage or the applicable credits will result in an increase in this minimum stipend amount. Please note, should a family extend beyond the first year, they would be responsible for the stipend for each week of the extension term.
