Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that lets you live in the USA, improve your English, and become part of a real American family? The Au Pair in the USA program could be your perfect opportunity.
In this post, we’ll explain what being an au pair really means, why so many young people are choosing this path, and how you can start your journey.
1. What Is an Au Pair?
An au pair is a young person (usually aged 18–26) who lives with a host family in the USA and helps care for their children. In exchange, you get:
A private room and meals
Weekly stipend ($195.75 or more)
Paid vacation time
A full cultural exchange experience
It’s not just a job—it’s a lifestyle that mixes work, culture, language, and travel.
2. Why Choose the USA?
The U.S. is one of the most popular au pair destinations for a reason:
Cultural diversity: Live with American families from all backgrounds
English immersion: Practice and improve your English daily
Travel opportunities: Explore famous cities, national parks, and more
Earn while you learn: Weekly pay + study allowance ($500/year for classes)
Plus, you’ll be part of a legal U.S. exchange program, sponsored by a government-designated agency.
3. What Will You Do as an Au Pair?
Your main responsibility is childcare, typically 30–45 hours per week. Tasks include:
Helping kids get ready for school
Playing, reading, doing crafts
Driving to activities
Preparing light meals or snacks
Helping with homework and bedtime routines
You’ll be treated like part of the family, not just a babysitter.
4. Where You Could Live
Au pairs live all across the U.S., from big cities to small towns:
New York, California, Florida, Texas
Suburban neighborhoods or city centers
You’ll always have your own room and regular days off
Each location gives you a different look into American life.
