]
Eight years have passed since the events of
Au Pair
, and newly graduated as his high school's valedictorian, Alexander Caldwell joins his visiting sister, college freshman Katie and her roommate Ariana on a family summer vacation with father Oliver and stepmother Jenny. Oliver and Jenny's current nanny declines to join them and the over-worked parents/executives must take care of their newborn baby Sarah in Puerto Rico.
Amidst corporate scheming by the young company
CFO
Walter Hausen, who is planning a takeover of Oliver's company CCI Tekhausen (formed in
Au Pair II
), Oliver and Jenny must contend with bridging the generation gap with the family, new career motivations and the romances of their 'newly reformed' prankster kids.

Oliver mentions Walter Hausen's father with great respect (Karl Hausen), but Walter was not present during the events of
Au Pair II
. Walter may be Brigitte's (
Au Pair II
) father, but this is never established during this film.
Production history
[
edit
]
The first two films in the franchise were made when
ABC Family
was co-owned by the
News Corporation
(parent company of
20th Century Fox
and the
Fox Broadcasting Company
) and
Haim Saban
(founder of
Saban Entertainment
) as
Fox Family
.
Au Pair 3
is also the only one without
Haim Saban
and his wife, Cheryl Saban, who wrote the script for the first two films. However, the other
screenwriters
remain, as does the
director
, Mark Griffiths. According to Gregory Harrison's official site, the filming was done in April and May.

The synopsis is now available on ABC Family.

Unlike the first two, which took place in
Europe
, this film takes place in
Puerto Rico
. The Caldwell's beach house scenes were filmed in
Rincon Ocean Villa
Archived

(accessible from

in
Aguadilla
