Your au pair year in the USA starts right outside New York! Specialists will give you hands-on training to prepare you for your au pair stay. You will also get the chance to explore the sights of Manhattan and make some lifelong friends. If you fly directly to your host family, you will visit the virtual academy online prior to your stay.
The price for an au pair year in the USA is a complete package price. There are no hidden costs and no financial risks since the programme fees become due after you have matched with a fitting host family. With us as your agency, you are on the safe side!

Au pair extension & repeat programmes
A year-long stay as an au pair in the USA may sound like a very long time to some. To others, it's simply not enough time! That's why we give you the chance to extend your stay for up to 12 months or repeat your stay in the US at a later point for a reduced fee.
You would like to stay for longer? Extend your adventure as an au pair in America by 6, 9 or 12 months! You have the option to continue your stay with the same host family (if they agree) or apply with a new one for your extension period. You don't have to do without your travel month, because you can simply add it to your extension.
You have successfully completed your first au pair year in the USA and received a completion certificate from your agency? Then let's go on another adventure and save 200 € on the programme fees! You will have to have lived outside of the USA for at least two years after your last au pair experience to be eligible for the repeat programme.
