Would you like to explore American life?
 |
The au pair experience offers the opportunity to understand differences in cultural lifestyles, beliefs, traditions, language and making lifelong friends along the way.
Your host family pays your airfare to Portland, Oregon. This includes lodging, continental breakfast and lunch while you attend the USAuPair workshop on child development and safety.
During the program year, you receive medical insurance. A private bedroom, board, and weekly pocket money are provided in exchange for up to 45 hours of child care weekly.
By the end of the program year, your wages total more than US$9,000, paid in weekly sums of $176.85. This amount is determined by the U.S. Department of Labor and may change in the future. The host family also contributes up to $500 toward earning your six semester hours of postsecondary education.
You are entitled to two weeks of paid vacation during the year, one complete weekend off each month, and a minimum of one and one-half days off every week.
USAuPair counselors support au pairs to help smooth the transition, ease potential culture shock, and ensure the successful completion of your program. The counselors also arrange fun monthly meetings with other au pairs in your area.
After the completion of your program, a 30-day grace period gives you the opportunity to travel and explore America before returning to your home country. Or you may elect to extend your program for six, nine or twelve months.
