Au Pair Requirements

Ready to jet off to the USA? Well, here’s what you’ll need to start living your best au pair life:

• Be 18–26 years old (because it’s the perfect age for adventure!).
• Valid driver’s license so you can enjoy all the essential road trips.
• Grade 12 or equivalent which means you’re already smart – check!
• Childcare experience and bonus points if you have baby-whisperer vibes.
• Speak and understand English so you can communicate with ease (Netflix subtitles? Who needs ’em?).
• Love kids and be super caring because a heart of gold is required.
• Commit to one full year since time truly flies when you’re having fun.
• Be healthy – mind and body to ensure you’re ready for the journey.
• Be single with no kids so you can focus on YOUR adventure first.
• No criminal record which means squeaky-clean vibes only.

Additionally, having First Aid skills, babysitting experience, or talents like dance, sports, or crafts is a major flex. Furthermore, if you’ve worked with babies under 2, that’s a huge bonus! Ultimately, these extras help your profile stand out in the best way possible.

How It Works

• First, fill out the forms, prepare your documents, and pay your sign-up fee – it’s quick and easy!
• Next, your profile goes live, and soon families will start sliding into your inbox. After that, pay the profile fee so you can start swiping right on families you truly connect with.
• Once matched, pay the placement fee, and then let us handle the boring stuff, like visa preparation – consider it done!
• Meanwhile, complete your online Au Pair Training, earn your certificate, and show off your childcare skills with confidence.
• Afterward, schedule your visa appointment and pay the associated fee – you’re almost there!
• Finally, book your flights, complete your training, and get ready for your American adventure – your dream is about to take off!
