EXPERIENCE THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME IN THE USA BECOME AN AU PAIR.

 

“Au Pair” is French for “on par” meaning that you are treated as a member of the family such as a big sister or brother.

As an Au Pair in the USA you will experience living with and being part of an American family whilst providing childcare and childcare related duties.  You will be paid a weekly stipend and also enjoy your own private bedroom and all meals.  This is not only a safe and affordable way of travelling to the USA but also the ultimate adventure combining WORK, TRAVEL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE.

 

Our American partner agency has been a designated U.S. Department of State sponsor to administer the J-1 Au Pair Program since 2003.   The J-1 Visa is the ONLY WAY a non-US citizen is able to work, live and study in America.
