Au Pair Cultural Activities
Au Pairs are required to attend a number of Cultural Activities with their Local Area Representative and nearby Au Pairs to make sure they experience the local community and culture during their stay. Below are some of the activities Shannon’s cluster has been up to recently!
Here in the Bluegrass State, we love our horses, our food, and our parks!

Additional Resources for Families and Au Pairs in Lexington
Au Pairs can get a license and drive while in KY. Host Families need to check with their car insurance agency for their rules for adding an Au Pair to the insurance.
City buses, Ubers, and bicycles are some of our best transportation in this area of Kentucky.
Top state schools such as, Asbury University, Transylvania University, and the University of Kentucky (UK), are some of our better known schools!
For a closer-knit feel, community colleges such as Jefferson Community College has been a great choice for our Au Pairs!
Au Pairs and Host Families can learn about tax withholdings and filing specific for the Au Pair program. Always consult a tax advisor to learn how taxes apply.
An Au Pair will need to get a Social Security # before getting a bank account and driver’s license. Go Au Pair will provide a welcome packet with social security information, on the Au Pairs arrival. We advise Au Pairs to wait 10 days after arrival to get their social security number. You can make an appointment at a social security office, closest to your home.
