Ready for Adventure in
The United States
Your American experience starts with your virtual Academy training, where you will learn about life in the United States, and virtual events where you’ll meet other au pairs. Once your program begins, you'll spend your free time exploring your new surroundings with new friends! AuPairCare hosts monthly events online and in-person to help you meet new friends and experience each other's culture.
Many au pairs also go on vacations with their host families and friends throughout the year. Once your program is completed, you'll have the opportunity to travel in the U.S. for up to 30 days!
