Driver Safety Program for Au Pairs


Safety is a parent's number one concern, especially when your child is in another person's care. Does your caregiver know what to do in an emergency? Can they perform CPR and first aid? Are they enforcing the seat belt rule in the car? Worrying about your children's safety is part of being a parent, and when you leave your child in another person's hands, you want to know they can be trusted to keep your child out of harm's way.  Every au pair from AuPairCare is required to complete a rigorous safety course.  The training begins in their home country where they are introduced to driving in the United States. 

Driving Safety: Au pairs take an online interactive driving course utilizing best practices from the Department of Motor Vehicles and the National Safety Council on how to follow U.S. driving laws and keep children safe while behind the wheel. Au pairs are also expected to hold a current international driver’s license.
