Cultural Care Au Pair is an au pair program provider that helps young people experience life in the United States while living with an American host family and caring for children. The program combines cultural exchange, childcare, and opportunities to explore the country, with support from Cultural Care staff before departure and throughout the matching and preparation process. Prospective au pairs can learn about requirements, attend information sessions, create a profile in the company’s app, connect with host families, and receive guidance as they prepare for a U.S. visa appointment.

The year-long program is for applicants aged 18 to 26 who have graduated from secondary school, have at least 200 hours of childcare experience, and can communicate in basic English. A driver’s license, or the ability to obtain one, is also required. Program benefits include round-trip airfare, a private room and meals, a weekly stipend from the host family, two weeks of paid vacation, and USD 500 toward college classes.
