Do you love children? Would you like to spend a year in the U.S.? Consider becoming an au pair. You will live and work as a trusted member of an American family and get a real taste of life in the U.S.
Get ready for a fun, challenging, and life-changing year as an au pair in the United States. From the time you arrive at your orientation in New York City, to the moment you say goodbye to your host family, you’ll be fully immersed in American life and culture. You’ll enjoy a close relationship with your host family and the children in your care while making friends with fellow au pairs and Americans. Plus, you’ll be able to take advantage of once-in-a lifetime educational and travel opportunities.
“Being an au pair has changed me on so many levels that sometimes I can hardly recognize myself. You grow in one year more than you had in a lifetime. Your family will always have a piece of you in them and you'll always have a piece of them with you.” - Priscilla from Brazil
“This is one of the greatest experiences I have had in my life. I learned important things: I learned to live together with other people and with myself. I learned to be independent. Thanks Au Pair USA for giving me this opportunity! And if someone is thinking about the program: Go ahead!! And enjoy the year because it goes really, really fast and every day you have new things to learn!" -- Celia from Spain
