Au Pairs - band - ended in 1983.
Yes. Boys are able to be an au pair in the USA as long as they are between the ages of 18-26, have a high school education and past childcare experience (baby sittting, teaching, etc). Male au pairs are a wonderful option for host families--they are often high energy and excellent role models.
The company Au Pair in America is essentially a specialized child care service. Unlike the traditional child care services, Au Pair matches families with different cultural care givers for the purposes of cultural exchange.
Au Maroc was created in 1890.

Au Pairs - band - was created in 1979.
No. There are only four books in the Au Pairs series.
Yes, au pair agency fees and stipend paid to au pairs can be claimed on US tax forms as child care tax credit.
You should find an agent because au pairs have special employee status. Many countries have arrangements for 'cultural exchange' and au pairs fall into this category. You are not their employer although you assume some of an employers responsibilities. Likewise, the au pair assumes duties but is not technically employed.
The au pair stipend is set by the US State Department. Au Pairs are to be paid a weekly stipend of $195.75 for up to 45 hours of childcare per week. In addition, au pairs are provided with free room, board and up to $500 per year in an educational allowance.
While there is no way to base the quality of an au pair directly on the country she originates from, many au pair services testify to the fact that au pairs from European countries tend to do a better job and have higher expectations of themselves than those coming from other areas, including Asia.
This is an interesting and complicated question. Today's au pairs are not the same group that started in the mid-80s when the first au pairs arrived in the United States. In 1986, the most common and desired au pair was from either England or Ireland. These girls spoke English very well and were able to assimilate easily into American culture. They were popular for many years until these two countries became more wealthy and jobs increased. Young women could find employment in their own country and the numbers of English and Irish au pairs dropped dramatically. Today, the largest group of au pairs are available from Eastern Europe and Asia. Thailand is a good example - many college educated young women desire to spend a year in America before they settle into their careers. Why? Primarily to improve their English, which is usually poor. They understand that if they have good English, their job opportunities increase when they return to their homeland. The best country today is probably Germany. German au pairs are well-educated, drive very well and speak very good English. Au pairs from Columbia are becoming more popular because most of the girls that sign up to become an au pair are educated in private schools, have cars (and thus can drive) and speak competent English. They come from middle-upper middle class, educated families and make excellent au pairs. There are other countries that offer great au pairs and too many to list here.

Yes the definition of the jobs is basically the same
Yes, a family member can serve as an au pair, but this arrangement may not meet the official requirements set by many au pair programs. Typically, au pairs are expected to be non-relatives to promote cultural exchange. Additionally, visa regulations often specify that au pairs must be from a different country, which may not apply to family members. It's essential to check the specific guidelines of your au pair program and local regulations.
