Becoming an au pair

[ABoynamedsue2022]

Hi, would anyone be able to help, my DD 19 wants to maybe become an au pair for a year or so, how would she go about this? Does anybody know of any genuine company’s that she could look into?
thanks

My DD is currently au pairing. She got her role through au pair world. She was able to check the family's references.

Thankyou Hopefull I’ll tell her to check them out, is she home or abroad? Hope she’s enjoying it x

In France and having a great time. She put her profile up in French and had a few offers and then had a video chat with her host family. They'd had several au pairs so she could see reviews of them as hosts

Where does she want to travel to?

in the US they need to go via an agency like this one www.aupairinamerica.com/become-an-aupair/being-an-au-pair/who-can-apply/ but they need some childcare experience and a driving licence.

Australia is a bit more complicated in terms of a visa

you can also go the countries listed here

and also Canada (but there are more opportunities for hotel type jobs).

I’m pretty sure you can also au pair in Germany as a British citizen.

Yes, you can - info here: uk.diplo.de/uk-en/02/visa/-/2449444

Thankyou so much underneath that’s very helpfull, I think she’s thinking USA or Europe, she’s not very fussy about it.
I’ll send her those links and she can look further into it. Thanks again
