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.

5. What’s Included in the Program

Here’s what’s covered when you join through us:

  • Flight to the USA & return flight home

  • Medical insurance during your stay

  • 1-year visa (extendable to 2 years)

  • 4-day orientation upon arrival

  • 24/7 support in the U.S.

  • Local community counselor

  • Monthly social events with other au pairs

It’s a fully supported, safe and structured program.

6. Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be 18–26 years old

  • Have childcare experience (babysitting, tutoring, helping at home)

  • Speak basic English

  • Be in good health

  • Have a clean background and driving record

  • Be open to living with a host family for 12 months
