Au pair abroad

Being an au pair is a cultural exchange, and you live with a local host family for a pre-agreed period, and enter "on an equal terms" with the rest of the family.

As an au pair, you help look after children and perform household duties. You receive pocket money, as well as free board and lodging. At the same time, on days off and during holidays you have the opportunity to explore other parts of the country than the one you live in.

It is a unique opportunity to both improve your language skills, make friendships and experiences for life, and expand your horizons. You learn to stand on your own two feet, and take a lot of enriching experiences home with you in your backpack.

When you travel as an au pair with Aupairagent, you can be sure that we have your well-being and interests in mind. We prepare you carefully for your au pair stay, and you can always contact us with questions or the like. The cooperation with other global au pair agencies is your guarantee of ending up in a good host family with good conditions.

Going abroad and experiencing a different culture, being part of a local family and having a cultural exchange will create memories for life. Many of our applicants have a desire to explore, broaden their horizons and mature. That is what a cultural exchange experience is all about. Investing in yourself, being part of a family in the current country, and helping them in their busy everyday life is a mutual benefit for both parties. Many families invest a lot in the process and financially and are ready to invest in you and opening their private home for you in a period from 12-24 months. Are you ready to apply?

Your choice and your chance.
