Education and Child Development

Many families that must find care for their children have turned to an au pair. An au pair usually provides more than just child care, for example, help with meals, house cleaning, and even participation in children's activities. Some become an extended family member. According to Aupair World, the majority of au pairs are from Europe. However, approximately 8% are from North America.33 A random sample of au pairs in the United States and Canada was asked for their home country. The resulting data are given in the table below.

Sample size	Number from North America (x)	Country
450	41	United States
506	51	Canada
