Combine your wanderlust and love of children in Middle Earth!

If you love children and want to experience beautiful New Zealand more in-depth than a tourist, the Au Pair program is for you!

Your responsibilities may include: engaging children with games and activities, taking them to and from school, light housework, preparing meals for the children, and helping them with their homework.

Most families live in the suburbs of major cities such as Auckland and Wellington. You’ll have a chance to connect with potential families before you leave the U.S. to ensure it’s a good match!

What You’ll Get: 

• Placement with a screened host family before you leave the U.S.
• Weekly stipend, private room, and meals
• Pre-departure, in-country, and alumni resources
• Orientation upon arrival
• Program completion bonus

 

Requirements:

• U.S. citizen between 18 and 30
• At least 200 hours of child care experience
• Valid driver’s license
• High school diploma

This is an opportunity to enjoy an authentic, immersive experience abroad with free time to travel and meet new friends!
