Continued Education with College Courses

English Literature, Spanish or French, Psychology or Business Administration - these are just a few of the many courses you could study during your stay in the USA as an au pair. The choice is completely yours! Your host family will provide you with up to $500 a year in order to finance courses at a nearby college or educational institute (university).

After your arrival in the USA, you will discuss all the different options together with your host family and your local AuPairCare coordinator. They will inform you of the wide range of courses available to you and will assist you in choosing the ones that suit you best.

In order to successfully complete your AuPairCare programme, you will need to complete 6 credits. This is an equivalent to about 60-90 hours of class over the duration of your stay in the USA.

And best of all at college/ university you have the chance to meet Americans your age and make new friends  while exploring subjects that interest you!
