The Au Pair Community Sings Feliz Navidad – AuPair.com

Christmas is the perfect time to show unity and harmony – especially in those difficult times during the contact restriction. Nonetheless, we wanted to celebrate Christmas together, and we did, thanks to our whole community.

We are happy to share our finished Christmas Karaoke video: Au Pairs around the world are singing the Christmas classic Feliz Navidad – and we are bringing all the singers together in one video! In the last few days, numerous Au Pairs have sent us videos in which they sing one of the most popular Christmas songs in the world. Now the video is finally ready, in which Au Pair candidates from more than 20 different countries can be seen, giving real meaning to the word cultural exchange.

Embassy Appointments are Starting to Open for 2021 Placements

On June 22, 2020, President Trump signed legislation that has suspended many visa programs in the US including the Au Pair J-1 Visa Program until December 31, 2020.

With the new year around the corner, Agent Au Pair will be monitoring the Embassy visa appointments and arrival date time frames. We have many available au pair candidates who waited through the suspension and are excited to participate in the au pair program!
