As an au pair, participants take part in the day-to-day routine of their host family, experiencing life in the USA at first hand and taking part in all the family activities. Au pairs are international visitors who, on a J-1 Visitor Exchange visa, are allowed to live with an American family for 12 months and care for their children. Au pairs are in a unique position to share their culture with their host family by teaching the children songs, games and activities from their native country. Au Pairs often develop a strong bond with their host parents and children, which can last a lifetime. Contact Au Pair in America directly about programme fees.
