About

The Department of State established the au pair program in 1986 as an educational and cultural exchange with a strong childcare component. The U.S. government designates certain sponsors to carry out the daily operations of the program and Agent Au Pair has been approved as one of the few designated sponsor organizations.  Click Approved Designation to see approval.

Agent Au Pair currently provides au pairs from over 40 countries in Europe, Asia and South America who are chosen for their passion to take a year off to satisfy their desire for an overseas experience and care for children.

Agent Au Pair directors have over 2 decades of combined experience in the cultural exchange field and possess a passion for fostering better relationships between foreign exchange visitors and Americans in an effort to promote international cultural understanding and tolerance.
