Global community
Every year, thousands of people from across the world take part in our program and join our American families. With nearly 40 years of experience, we’ve built a truly global community of confident, capable au pairs supported at every step.
From the start
Real people, real support
Many of the people who help applicants abroad have been au pairs themselves. They know what the experience is like, and how to prepare for it. When you join our program, you’ll get real answers, real advice and a local support system right from the start. Wherever you come from, you’ll:
Meet a local Au Pair in America representative in your own country
Be interviewed and advised on your application
Be prepared for what it’s like to live and work with an American family
Every journey is personal. That’s what makes our global presence special.

In the USA
More than a program
Our au pairs come from more than 60 countries with different backgrounds, languages and experiences. They’re united by a love of working with children, a spirit of adventure and a desire to help others.
Once you're in the USA, you’ll be part of:
A welcoming host family
A global community that’s been growing since 1986
A social group of au pairs

Supported by our partner
Local support at every stage
We stay closely connected with all of our global representatives to make sure the application and interview process is consistent, high-quality and well supported.
Countries we support
Supported by our staff
UK and US-based teams coordinate the program
Our UK team recruits the au pairs from around the world. They manage our international recruitment partners and representatives, and coordinate logistics like flights and visas.
Our US team (based in Stamford, Connecticut) supports every part of the program once you travel. They recruit the families, manage our Community Counsellors, and host your New York Warm Welcome.
Once you arrive in the US, you’ll be part of a local cluster, which is a special group of au pairs living in the same area. Each cluster is supported by a Community Counsellor, who is your support person throughout the year.
