Au Pair in the USA!

AuPair.com has partnered with Agent AuPair, which is a US Government designated agency based in San Francisco. Being an au pair is one of the best ways to experience the USA!

Be an Au Pair in China
Our partner GeoVisions offers an excellent program in China.
As an Au Pair in China, you will be placed with a Chinese family who is interested in giving their children not only an education in learning English, but also direct cultural exchange. You will also have the opportunity to meet the family online before your depa
rture to help you to decide on your placement and be sure that you want to become the part of this family.
You will be expected to spend less than 30 hours per week as an Au Pair: Taking care of the children, escorting them to school, playing and teaching them and then around 3-4 hours each week tutoring the children in English.
The Program Fee is only $149 no matter which program length you choose and au pairs can go for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Please note, au pairs will have to pay for their flight to China.
Avoid Problems during your Au Pair Stay
Congratulations, you finally found your perfect host family! Visa, insurance, flight – everyt
hing is set. But as you finally arrive, you and your host family have to realize that conflicts and problems appear and everyday life isn't as easygoing as you have thought.
