The International Au Pair Day is a global celebration of all au pairs and their contribution to cultural exchange around the world.
By annually celebrating together, we hope to:
Raise the profile and visibility of au pairs, and legal au pair programs, around the world.
Recognise and thank au pairs for what they do for host families and their children and for the part they play in fostering global understanding.
Unite the au pair community and establish 24 November as a recognised day of annual au pair celebrations.
The International Au Pair Day is an initiative of IAPA The International Au Pair Association and was presented at IAPA´s Annual General Meeting in Luxembourg in March 2019.

Why the 24th November?
24 November 2019 marked the 50th Anniversary of the release of the “European agreement on au pair placements” by the Council of Europe in 1969.
For the first time an official set of rules and regulations was defined and established in many European countries. This European agreement serves as the basis for European and other programmes worldwide to define the au pair´s and host family’s duties and rights.
Between now and November 24th we will be posting lots of fun ideas and ways to make this day special - watch this space!
