IAPO - Become an Au Pair in USA: How to apply?

Au Pair in the USA

Who Can Apply?

Being an au pair in America is not for everyone. Taking care of young children requires maturity, hard work and patience. And don't forget, you will also be adapting to a new culture and trying to establish a solid relationship with the parents and children. The work will be challenging but can also be rewarding and satisfying. You should be sure you are ready to work a full 12 months before committing to the program.

We want to see you as an IAPO Au Pair in USA if you:

are between the ages of 18-26
possess a driver's license (or be ready to get one)
enjoy caring for children
have at least 3 months childcare experience
have completed secondary school
speak conversational English
have no criminal record
are willing to commit to 12 months in the U.S.
have not previously been an au pair in America

Most families in the U.S. will not accept a smoker. If you smoke and think you cannot quit before departing for the U.S. for a year, it's better not to sign-up for the program. You may not smoke on the program unless the host family has signed an agreement with you stating it is OK to smoke during the program year.
