Writer: Kendrick Holsman

What if I told you that you could live abroad for free and experience the American culture? The Au Pair program offers you the possibility of becoming part of an American family, improving your English, explore and furthering your education. 

Not only that, but as an Au Pair you mark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and you make new connections. Right now, you might be asking yourself: ”What is an Au Pair?”

We describe an Au Pair as a:

A young person between the ages of 18 and 26, who participates in a cultural exchange for a period during which they live with a host family while helping them with childcare.

  

Before telling you where you can sign up, we are sharing with you today what are the advantages of this program for you to see if it’s something for you?

1. Accommodation is provided free of charge

You will have a private bedroom, basic house-holds items, and toiletries by your host family. 

2. Major career benefits

Companies value employees who are adaptable can communicate in a foreign language and has management skills. Your Au Pair experience will help you in gaining these abilities because you are adapting to a new nation, culture and the schedule of your host family. 

3. Foreign Language Skills

There is no better method to learn a language than to speak with native speakers, especially children. You will have to interact with your host family in English, which allows you to make mistakes and learn how to pronounce the words better. Furthermore, kids rarely speak whole phrases, and instead, they use a mixture of visual and spoken language, making you feel less self-conscious about your language skills. 

4. Free time to explore

As an Au Pair, you will have some spare time during the week, or weekends to attend school (if you want to) and enjoy the city. It’s the ideal time for you to step outside of your comfort zone and learn more about yourself!

5. Second family

You will not be a staff members but you will become a member of their family. Not only will you learn about their culture, but you will also share yours with them; you’ll have a lot of fun talking about your culture, traditions and people. 

The program’s most remarkable feature is that it is a safe program that has been in operation for over 30 years. The host families who are looking for an Au Pair go through a rigorous process before they are able to participate. I you love spending time with kids and want to take some time off and travel, this is the program for you!!

Hear about one of our Au Pairs’ experience:

My host family treated me like a member of their family when I arrived in the United States, and the kids were like my younger brothers. Despite missing my family and friends, I loved this experience!
