“Au Pair in America was ten times better than I could ever have imagined.”
Olivia Groenewald, Cape Town
Who we are

The largest and most successful Au Pair exchange program in the world, Au Pair in America places over 4,000 Au Pairs with US families every year.

When asked how they rate the program at the end of the year, 91% of Au Pairs describe their overall experience as "excellent" or "good", and 89% say they would recommend it to a friend.


What sets us apart from other organisations?

  • 26 years experience
  • Streamlined matching process
  • Web communities for Au Pairs and host families
  • Dedicated website to track the progress of your application online
  • Unique volunteer opportunities through the Global Awareness Program
  • Au Pairs have the option to extend their stay for a further 6, 9 or 12 months

The American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) started the program in 1986, allowing young people the opportunity to spend a year working and studying in America, discovering its culture. AIFS's mission is to provide the highest quality educational and cultural exchange programs to enrich the lives of people throughout the world.

Au Pair in America is authorised by the US Department of State, and supports you every step of the way.
