Become an Au Pair Outside the United States

Explore the World with the Au Pair Abroad Program

Have you always dreamed of wandering the romantic streets of Paris, trekking through Australia’s rugged Outback, or immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Spain? Au Pair International’s Au Pair Abroad Program offers an exciting opportunity for U.S.-based au pairs to live abroad with a host family while providing meaningful live-in childcare in a foreign country.

As an American au pair seeking international travel, you’ll experience life from a unique perspective, engaging directly with the local culture, language, and traditions of your host country. The term “au pair” comes from the French meaning “on par” or “equal,” highlighting the value of this cultural exchange program in building a meaningful connection with your host family. By working as an au pair abroad, you’ll assist with childcare responsibilities while becoming part of an international family.

In addition to your au pair duties, you’ll enjoy opportunities to take classes abroad, meet new friends, and travel around a country rich in new and exciting experiences. Whether you’re exploring Europe, Asia, or beyond, our au pair abroad program for U.S. applicants offers a life-changing journey that combines childcare with cultural immersion.
