Define: "Au Pair"

according to Google define: A single girl (or, rarely, a boy) who helps a host family with childcare and/or housework while staying as a guest with a host family and generally receiving a small allowance (or pocket money)

According to urban dictionary: The word "Au Pair" is a French term, which means "on par" or "equal to", denoting living on an equal basis in a reciprocal, caring relationship between the host family and the children. An aupair will typically be a young woman and sometimes a young man from a foreign country who chooses to help look after the children of a host family and provide light housekeeping. The aupair is given room and board and is typically paid a weekly "pocket-money" salary. Aupairs generally stay with their host family for one year.

According to...ME!
Au Pair: A female who is wayyy awesome who is very adventurous and goes to Turkey and plays with adorable children everyday and teaches them English. Also, she lives with a very nice family and gets payed every week so she can have fun and go on adventures on her days off!
