Why Agent Au Pair is the Best Sponsor

Agent Au Pair is based in California providing educational and cultural exchange among nations through its intercultural au pair program that provides live-in childcare for American families. Agent Au Pair carefully screens the host families and verifies that they are enthusiastic about cultural exchange and will operate in the spirit of the program which includes treating the au pair as a member of their family and ensuring that the au pair can take advantage of the cultural experiences available.

The United States government Department of State has designated certain organizations to participate in the Au Pair Cultural Exchange Program. The regulations are set forth by the government and must be enforced by each sponsoring organization and the rules and regulations are the same for all Au Pair Programs in the United States. You live and work with your host family for 12 months on a legal J-1 visa. As a part of the program you have the ability to utilize a 30-day grace period granted by the INS for the purpose of personal travel within the United States after you have finished the 12-month program.
