While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

Au Pairs are like the superheroes of childcare, providing live-in care for the children of a host family abroad. They aren't just ordinary caregivers, they become temporary family members themselves. Picture this: you could be joining the family for exciting holidays, sipping lemonade by the poolside, and maybe even having lively dance-offs in the living room. As an Au Pair, you'll experience the joy of being part of a new family, creating unforgettable memories and building bonds that last a lifetime. So, if you're ready to bring that extra sparkle to a host family's life and become an honorary family member, look no further. We'll help you find the perfect Au Pair opportunity abroad, where love, laughter, and family moments await. Get ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure filled with love, care, and a whole lot of fun!

Our Au Pair trips are known for our exceptional matching process. We take the time to understand you and your preferences, allowing you to access a variety of family profiles and be involved in the matching process. Video meetings with the parents and children ensure a strong connection and compatibility. Leading up to your departure, you'll have the opportunity to connect with your host family again. With this thorough process, uncomfortable situations are extremely rare. However, if any unexpected circumstances arise, we are dedicated to finding you another match (providing you haven't broken the Au Pair agreement). Your satisfaction and well-being are our highest priorities throughout your Au Pair journey with us. Get ready for an incredible experience as an Au Pair, creating lasting memories with your host family!

Au Pair placements generally range from a few months to a year, depending on the requirements for the trip and host family. We are here to ensure we find the perfect fit for you, to satisfy your timeline and goals for the experience. Once registered, your dedicated Trip Coordinator will guide you through next steps and recommend the best possible option to go for.

As an Au Pair, your primary responsibility is to provide childcare assistance. However, light household chores related to the children, such as tidying up their rooms or preparing meals, may be expected. You will be provided a clear understanding of the household expectations and responsibilities before accepting your placement.

Yes, as an Au Pair, you will typically receive a weekly or monthly stipend from your host family. The amount may vary depending on the destination country and the agreed-upon terms of the placement. Additionally, your host family will provide accommodations and meals as part of the arrangement.

Absolutely! As an Au Pair you will have at least 1-2 days off per week (usually weekends when the parents are home) along with designated free time throughout the week. This will allow you to relax, explore the local culture, or meet up with other Au Pairs or Global Travellers you met through Global Social in gWorld!

Our Au Pair trip provides comprehensive support throughout your placement. From the initial matching process to ongoing guidance, our team is always available to address any concerns or assist with challenges that may arise. Additionally, you'll have access to a community of other Au Pairs to connect with and explore your new home together!

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
