Between our large selection of host families across the USA and the extensive training, preparation and support we provide, Cultural Care Au Pair is the top choice for thousands of au pairs every year.
1. Global Support from Cultural Care
Cultural Care strikes the right balance between providing the security of a large organisation and the personalised support that makes our participants feel cared for. We offer round-the-clock support in both the USA and in your home country, making it easy to ask questions and voice any concerns. It is our job to take a complicated process and make it simple, helping your experience as an au pair go as smoothly as possible.
2. Host Family Screening & Matching
Cultural Care has the largest pool of host families to choose from, giving you the best chance at finding your perfect match. We carefully screen our host families to ensure that you will be happy and comfortable during your time in the USA, and we customise each matching process to fit the needs of our participants.
Cultural Care is unique in that we provide each of our au pairs with a designated Au Pair Matching Specialist – an expert in the matching process whose sole job it is to support our au pairs in finding their perfect host family.
3. Au Pair Training & Preparation
Cultural Care believes that starting your au pair journey on the right path begins with proper preparation and a good introduction to the USA. That’s why we create and distribute extensive pre-departure materials to help you get ready for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also created exclusive training programmes that will prepare you better than any other agency – at no additional cost. Examples include MyAuPairCourses (an expert-led online training course on childcare in the USA), our Get Ready Workshop (an online workshop that will prepare you for your big trip), and our Au Pair Training School (a 5-day training programme that takes place just outside of New York City).
4. Official U.S. Department of State Sponsor
The only legal way to be an au pair in the USA is through a designated sponsor such as Cultural Care. Our team in the USA works closely with and strictly adheres to the U.S. Department of State’s guidelines to ensure that all programme participants are treated fairly and given a quality experience during their time abroad. We are also a member of the International Au Pair Association (IAPA), which gives us a “quality seal of approval” as an American au pair programme.

I was an Au Pair in America for 2 years through Cultural Care. I could not reccomend them more. The best experience I ever had and best thing i have ever done. All the staff are super helpful and supportive also whenever you need them. Best agency in my opinion if being an au pair is what you are thinking of doing!!
I was an au pair for 2 years and had the most amazing experience. My host family will always be my forever family. Cultural care au pair UK helped me every single step of the way from the very first phone call to the very end of my experience. Without there support and knowledge I wouldn’t of been able to do it. Thank you CCAP for everything you have done for me.
After finding Cultural Care Au Pair at an employment gap year fair at my college I have had nothing but positive interactions with them. The staff at Cultural Care were very supportive and helpful during the application and matching process and after I had found my host family they ensured I was well prepared and knew what was happening, and would happen, at every stage of my journey.
I loved my 2 years in the U.S.A. and still keep in contact with my host family, friends from the U.S., friends from around the World and even the Cultural Care staff. I can honestly recommend even just speaking to Cultural Care if you think you want to live in the States, make family there, make friends there, meet friends from many Worldwide cultures and feel supported the entire time. There aren't many chances in life to move somewhere else and become a whole new person. Be who you want to be and take a chance on a life changing experience.
My au pair journey started through Cultural Care Au Pair and I was able to be an au pair in Chicago with an amazing family. Travelling with them was the best decision I've ever made. The process was smooth with help and support every step of the way. I couldn't recommend the company more, I had the best time of my life as an au pair and it changed my life massively. Thank you so much for all the memories. I wish everyone could have this amazing experience.
I don’t have experience with any other agencies besides CC so I can’t really compare, but as far as CC itself goes, I’m really happy I applied with them. They’ve done all they could to make sure my au pair years go smoothly, I have an amazing LCC who supports me and helps with any questions/issues that may come up. If you have a desire to become an au pair but are still hesitating, don’t. Apply, you won’t regret it!
