An Au Pair Could Take Care of Grandma.

The article discusses the potential impact of a proposed regulation by the Biden administration on the au pair program, which allows families to hire young foreign nationals as nannies in exchange for lodging, food, and a stipend. The regulation would increase the cost of hosting an au pair by requiring higher wages and other expenses. The authors argue that instead of restricting the program, the administration should expand it to include senior care, as au pairs could provide affordable support to aging adults. They suggest that this expansion would benefit both families and qualified foreigners without additional costs to taxpayers. [Extracted from the article]
