This year Au Pair in America celebrates 40 years. We proudly stand as the first US government-approved au pair programme, established in 1986.
Through us, participants spend a year in the USA living as part of an American host family. They support the family with childcare responsibilities while earning a weekly allowance. It’s a unique opportunity for young people to experience authentic American culture, improve English-speaking skills and develop both personally and professionally.
“This is my second time as an Au Pair with this agency. The first time I was blessed with a wonderful family and the same for the second time. I am very happy to be here and always think it was my best decision ever! Being able to see new places that we only see in movies and getting to know real American families! Thanks to this, I met wonderful people, a second real family and friendships I will have for years!”
- Wiktoria, current au pair
