Why Choose Us?

Between our large selection of host families across the USA and the extensive training, preparation and support we provide, it's no wonder so many au pairs choose Cultural Care.

When you choose Cultural Care Au Pair, you’re choosing the largest and most experienced au pair network in the world. In the past 30 years we have sent more than 145,000 young people to the USA to be au pairs.

Simply put: Creating cultural exchange experiences for au pairs is our specialty. And we’re here to help you feel confident, safe and excited as you begin your journey to the USA.

1. Global Support from Cultural Care

Cultural Care strikes the right balance between providing the security of a large organization and the personalized support that makes our participants feel cared for. We offer round-the-clock support in both the USA and in your home country, making it easy to ask questions and voice any concerns. It is our job to take a complicated process and make it simple, helping your experience as an au pair go as smoothly as possible.

3. Au Pair Training & Preparation

Cultural Care believes that starting your au pair journey on the right path begins with proper preparation and a good introduction to the USA. That’s why we create and distribute extensive pre-departure materials to help you get ready for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also created exclusive training programmes that will prepare you better than any other agency – at no additional cost. Examples include MyAuPairCourses (an expert-led online training course on childcare in the USA), our Get Ready Workshop (an online workshop that will prepare you for your big trip), and our Au Pair Training School.

4. Official U.S. Department of State Sponsor

The only legal way to be an au pair in the USA is through a designated sponsor such as Cultural Care. Our team in the USA works closely with and strictly adheres to the U.S. Department of State’s guidelines to ensure that all programme participants are treated fairly and given a quality experience during their time abroad. We are also a member of the International Au Pair Association (IAPA), which gives us a “quality seal of approval” as an American au pair program.
