f you love children as much as you love the idea of embarking on an adventure abroad, then our Au Pair New Zealand program is for you! 

Family fun takes on a new meaning when you’re an au pair in New Zealand! If you love children as much as you love the idea of embarking on an adventure abroad, then our Au Pair New Zealand program is for you. You’ll live with a welcoming Kiwi family in exchange for providing child care.

As an au pair, your responsibilities may include keeping children engaged with games and activities, taking them to/from school, light housework, preparing meals for the children, tutoring, and more. Experienced candidates may have the option for additional hours and a higher stipend! You may also choose the age group that’s the best fit for you: InterExchange offers a five-and-under program and a five-and-up program.

Through our program you can completely immerse yourself in friendly Kiwi culture and experience all New Zealand has to offer. You’ll have free time to make friends, take classes, and travel. Or learn to sandboard, go bungee jumping, chill out on sweeping beaches, or catch a traditional Maori dance performance!

As always, we’re available throughout your program whenever you need us!
