The Live-Ins dives into the lives of a diverse group of women who leave behind their home countries to work as Au pairs in the United States. Arriving with big dreams, they move in with American host families, stepping into a new world of opportunities, cultural collisions, and personal transformation. Each woman brings her unique personality and background, and while they share the role of caretaker, their experiences differ wildly, revealing layers of family dynamics, hidden struggles, and individual resilience.The pilot introduces Angelica, a sharp-witted Greek woman with a rebellious streak, and Thea, an optimistic and ambitious German.

As the season unfolds, viewers are drawn into the evolving dynamics among the Au pairs, who find unexpected friendships and rivalries that help them navigate the highs and lows of their shared journey.Future seasons shift perspective: in Season 2, the show examines life through the eyes of the host families, exploring the cultural nuances, misunderstandings, and emotional impact of opening their homes to foreign caretakers. By Season 3, The Live-Ins flips the narrative once more, following American Au pairs in Europe, facing their own cultural adjustments and challenges.With each episode, The Live-Ins blends heartfelt drama, humor, and sharp observations on family and identity, providing audiences with a fresh look at the cultural richness-and sometimes the chaos-that comes with living between worlds.
