Embrace your passion for travel and children and experience a new life overseas on our Au Pair in the US trip. Become part of an American household and help care for the children of a local, loving family whilst you form a close bond with the host parents. Spend your days inspired in the concrete jungle, cruising from coast to coast, ticking off jaw-dropping landmarks or taking the kids to your local national park.
We offer the complete package for those wanting to kickstart their au pair journey, and most importantly, ensure you are matched with a safe and welcoming host family and home. Our team will get you sorted with all the essentials from visa assistance, to finding an approved host family before you go, bank account advice, accommodation nights to use when you please, 24/7 support, and more. You’ll be more than ready to begin your exciting au pair adventure. Plus, regularly chat with your host family prior to taking off, so you’ll know all about them before you meet them face-to-face!
Completely immerse yourself in a new culture, make lifelong friends and, best of all, break away from your usual routine back home as you embark on an adventure to au pair in the USA. With the freedom to explore the country’s incredible beauty in your time off or paid trips with your host family, this experience is perfect for a first-time traveller or someone ready to experience a genuine, local American lifestyle.

Just in case it’s not clear already, we’re not an employment or recruitment agency, so please don’t book with us if that’s what you’re looking for. We sell and organise amazing international travel experiences for the purpose of cultural exchange & education.

With the hard work done for you, you can settle into your home-away-from-home straight away, get to know your new family and embrace the American lifestyle with open arms. Our 24/7 support team will guide you throughout the entire journey to ensure you feel confident knowing you are in the best hands possible.
With most of your living expenses covered, you can spend your stipend exploring the natural beauty of the US, touring the different landscapes and joining your family on weekend getaways.
