What is an au pair ?

Being an au pair is a unique and rewarding experience where you live with a host family in a foreign country. As an au pair, you'll help care for the family's children and assist with light household duties in exchange for accommodation, meals, and a small stipend.

This adventure offers you the chance to immerse yourself in a new culture, learn a foreign language, and build lasting connections with the host family.

It’s a perfect opportunity to broaden your horizons while providing valuable support to families seeking flexible help and cultural enrichment for their children.

Babysitter VS Au pair

Choosing between a babysitter and an au pair depends on your family’s needs. Both provide childcare but offer distinct experiences in terms of responsibilities, time commitment, and relationship with the family.

Here’s a quick comparison to help clarify the differences :

Duration of Commitment :

Babysitter : Short-term or occasional care.

Au Pair : Long-term stay (several months).

Relationship with the Family :

Babysitter : Professional relationship, does not live with the family.

Au Pair : Lives with the family, becoming part of the household.

Responsibilities :

Babysitter : Primarily childcare.

Au Pair : Childcare + light household duties.

Cultural Exchange :

Babysitter : No particular cultural exchange.

Au Pair : Provides cultural and language exchange, enriching the family experience.

Host family

I’ve always dreamed of going to the United States as an au pair, but honestly, between my job and studies, I never had the time to deal with all the paperwork and formalities.

Luckily, I found Au Pair Moments Agency! Everything was incredibly efficient : they took care of everything and guided me every step of the way.

Now I can finally focus on my departure without the stress of administration. Honestly, it’s such a huge relief !

Au Pair

I came to Australia as an au pair without going through an agency at first, but after a few months, I realized it was hard to manage everything on my own. I didn’t want to pay a fortune for a traditional agency, so I subscribed to Au Pair Moments Agency.

Thanks to their regular tips and support, I feel much more at ease. It’s reassuring to know that I can reach out to them anytime if I need help. I highly recommend it — it’s a perfect balance between independence and security !
