What does a 'full day off' mean?

Providing a “full day off” should not be construed as just giving your au pair a 24-hour window of free time. Providing a “full day off” means that from the time your au pair wakes, they are off duty until they begin work the next day. For those families who may need flexible childcare, it is important to remember that there may be more than 24 hours off-duty in order to stay within program guidelines.
