Become an Au Pair in the U.S. with AuPairCare
For over 30 years, AuPairCare has supported young people who wish to become an au pair in the United States. Not only will AuPairCare help you match with a family and take care of your flights to and from the U.S., but when you become an AuPairCare au pair, you'll receive a stipend, room and board, spend time with children, and have vacation time to explore America with your new friends.
Travel and Live Abroad
The best way to learn about a different culture is to live it. By becoming a part of a family and caring for their children, you'll learn first-hand what it's like to live in America.
Improve Your English and Grow Your Career
While living abroad, you’ll become more self-reliant, improve your English, and take on responsibilities that will help you grow in many ways. When you return home, you’ll have many new skills and friends from around the world.
Support in the USA
AuPairCare values the safety of our participants. All host families must complete a criminal background check and in-person interview. As an au pair, you will have a local Area Director and large support network while on program
