IAPO - Become an Au Pair in USA: Why Us?

Au Pair in the USA

Why Us?

IAPO (International Au Pair Organisation) is an international organisation which organises au pair placements through its international partners worldwide. We aim to improve international understanding by promoting au pair programs and solve child-care problems for families by finding the right au pair for them.

For the time being, we are able to place au pairs with families in the UK and USA only. We will start to place au pairs with families in Europe soon after we finalise arrangements with our partner network in Europe.

IAPO provides a unique service and works in a different way to most other companies and organisations, as we select our au pairs carefully and place them with carefully screened families through our international partners. This allows us to find the right au pairs for the right families, as we interview and check the applications of both the families and au pairs.

Background:

In 1986 the International Cultural Exchange Program (ICEP)was launched as a not-for-profit organisation and started to send au pairs to England and then to the USA in 1991.

As a division of ICEP, IAPO carries out au pair placements in the UK. From 1996 till early 2004, IAPO placed more than 2,200 au pairs with British host families at no cost. Having experience of placing au pairs in the USA and UK, IAPO has now signed executive agreements with some of the US Au Pair organisations authorised by the US goverment. The agreement allows IAPO to select local partners and send au pairs to the USA through its local partners in Europe and the rest of the world.

The US Au Pair exchange program not only enables young people from all over the world to spend a year in America as an au pair, but also to study and travel around the USA.

IAPO now has eighteen years of experience and is becoming the largest and most successful au pair exchange program in the world. IAPO places 450 au pairs every year in the UK, and plans to send 1200 au pairs to America from Europe, Asia and South America.
