N. Schur: This term from French applies generically to service bartering arrangements between two parties, with little or no money changing hands. A doctor and a lawyer might thus make an au pair arrangement. British families also exchange children with foreign families in order to broaden the children’s experience, this being another type of au pair arrangement.

The term is used generally in the expression au pair girl (often called just an au pair) and refers to the common British custom of a family giving a home to a girl from abroad who helps with the children and the housekeeping.
